Fallout
Looking at the blistered paint on her steel firewall doors in Texas and Ohio this morning, Hillary Clinton can breathe a sigh of relief. Her firewall held! Her desperate decision to use extremely poisonous fire-retarding agents in the last few days paid off!
So what if her protect-at-all-costs strategy comes at such a high price? So what if we now all have to breathe the highly carcinogenic asbestos particles that are floating in the air, the fallout of her self-preserving, win-at-all-costs measures?
Her firewall held, right?

Time for Obama to use a bunker buster on ol Hillbill

Yes. That's all she cares about. And why shouldn't she? It worked.
That's what makes me sad.
However, Obama needs to do a better job of defining her and not let her define him.
We'll see how quick a learner he really is. She got her ground game together and he must be ready for anything, and be ready to change perception of her. He doesn't have to destroy like she did. But he needs to call her out when she lies and distorts. And he needs to better connect his excellent democratic policies with the working class, and that the change he seeks is precisely what is required to achieve those policies. I don't think he's made that clear enough. He thought it was obvious, but it was not obvious to working class people.
How he responds to setbacks and adversity will be instructive. He needs to show people who don't have all day sitting on their computers comparing delegate counts, that he can take care of things. And he needs to do this in the next few days.
