"If she can’t use New Hampshire as a firewall... then it’s over"

She did beat him. It wasn’t over.

"If she can’t overcome the labor endorsements and beat him in Nevada, her campaign might be coming to an end"

She beat him. They talked smack anyway.

"If she can’t beat him on Super Tuesday..."

She did.

Ohio.

Texas.

Now Pennsylvania. She even doubled her lead in PA.

Now they’re saying it’s over if she doesn’t win North Carolina...

and you know what, she just might.

But at what point do we stop moving the goal post? At what point do we stop changing the story to make a victory for Clinton look like it’s not even worthy of any praise? She’s dug herself out of a ditch plenty of times this election cycle, and when she wins the nomination, I sure hope that the media and the Barack cronies eat their body weight in crow.
