Heh

The indispensable John Hayward on Hillary's not-so-good night in Iowa:
She was supposed to be giving a victory speech on Monday night, not tap-dancing around the fact that a weird old radical she was beating by over 50 points last year in Iowa just fought her to a draw.  She’s still trying to co-opt Sanders’ appeal to the “revolutionary” Left, loudly declaring herself a “progressive who gets things done for people.”

She then proceeded to rattle off a list of issues where Democrats have had absolute dominance, under Obama and often for decades beforehand, and declare them all disasters.

“I am honored to stand in the long line of American reformers who make up our minds that the status quo is not good enough, that standing still is not an option, and that brings people together to find ways forward that will improve the lives of Americans,” Clinton said.

That’s pretty harsh on the Democrat who’s been in office for the past seven years, isn’t it?  Only Hillary Clinton can pull us out of the Obama quagmire!
Don't think our famously thin-skinned incumbent didn't notice all that, either. More, a lot more, at the link.

Interestingly, both Hilliary and Trump went 0-1-1 in the Iowa caucuses, and for the exact same reasons.

A statistical tie is a functional loss for a "prohibitive frontrunner".
