The legacy mainstream media has a collective brain like dogs it exists in an eternal present, so that whatevers happening right now is all there is.
Thus, Hillarys performance in the first Democratic debate, being as bad but not worse than her competitors, means she has a lock on the nomination for president. The better part of a year lies between now and the convention, and time would be on the side of whatever force or figure rises to oppose the woman whose turn in power rides a myth of inevitability.
What perhaps ought to be more alarming is the way that the two major parties are lining up to be a mens party and a womans party, a perfect acting-out of psychological archetypes in a society churning out millions of lost souls year-by-year. The American people apparently want a Daddy to fix all the broken systems and they want a Mommy to reassure them that everything will be all right. Hillary, of course, wants to be both, but her problem is that a lot of voters wont accept her as either.
Her record doesnt suggest shes much good at fixing anything. Thats why the Benghazi affair is such a good stick to beat on her with. That was a moment when America needed a Daddy with a toilet plunger or a screw gun and all they got were cables from the home office saying everything was going to be all right. Mommy couldnt save the Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans slaughtered there. The big pretense, of course, is the idea that congress holds hearings so something like this will never happen again.
