A tragic sense of Hillary

Looked at a certain way, the scrambling of Hillary from weak to weaker defenses of her continued candidacy is heart wrenching. Everyone has seen things they thought they were a lock for disintegrate before their eyes.

It must be terribly disorientating for Hillary (who has literally been running for this since 2004 and perhaps since 2000) to watch what "should" have been a cake walk turn into a long and ultimately futile battle.

That doesn't change the fact that she should end her campaign, that she needs to end her campaign (for the good of her country and her party as well as her own future in both of those institutions) but I find the sadistic triumphalism of some of my fellow Barackniks just a little bit tacky.
