Chicago Tribune: Hillary Clinton's actually pretty good at this

[Godhumor]

Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee, full stop.

No, she didn't formally clinch, and Bernie Sanders picked up victories in Colorado, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Vermont. But the overall numbers are clear. Clinton crushed Sanders in the states she figured to win, and has kept it close in most states she figured to lose.

...

Large leads are difficult to overtake in the Democratic presidential race because strict proportional allocation of delegates means that even a slumping front-runner continues to get closer to locking up a majority. Nothing in the election returns to date, or polls of future states, or anything else indicates any nomination trouble ahead for Clinton.

...

And we can't know for sure if the political skills we've seen so far would make her good at the job of president, if she gets the opportunity. All we know is that the great presidents were master politicians of one kind or another. And as we have just seen, Hillary Clinton is a very, very good politician.

There is no ifs, ands or buts, Clinton dominated Super Tuesday and media coverage sure as hell reflects that pesky fact.

1. She has certainly had enough practice. But her wins show something else.

The accusations that she is unpopular are Republican Bullshit.

5. I've been saying that for months.

Those well-propagated accusations that she's "unpopular" and "not trustworthy" is nothing but Repub b.s. Sadly, in their quest to destroy the Democratic Party from the inside-out, the extreme Left is using these unsubstantiated accusations against her, and M$M are making sure it's spread far and wide. And it irks me something awful.

The extreme-Left are supposed to be enlightened people; seeing what the rest of us mortals can't see, yet in their zeal to get rid of Democrats not lefty enough for their particular taste, they've become allies of the Right and Far-right. It's probably why I don't care for them and don't take them seriously. I guess they believe in the idiom, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".

2. Facts are not an important element of opinion...

as we have sadly learned at DU. <no smilies inserted>

A noted characteristic of that other party?

And she has strengths we don't see on the surface. No one just walks his or her way into a presidential nomination. She has earned it. Partly it was her success in cultivating strong ties with a wide variety of party actors: Some who supported her husband, Bill Clinton, in the 1990s, some who had signed on for her in 2008, and still others who were new to her camp this time.
