The two lines have bisected.
We’re watching a turning point in the nomination.
The lines had just reached parity on Super Tuesday, but he still actually won it (narrowly) in both states and delegates. And he hasn’t lost a contest since Super Tuesday — 5 and oh. Or, oh-oh, if you’re a Clintonian. Washington and Nebaska by 30+ points, Louisiana by 20, Maine by 15, and the Virgin Islands by 80%!!!
If you don’t know, they both did interviews for 60 Minutes tonight, and the newsmasters caught it. It was like an interview with the winner, and the loser, of the race. You could just see it in Hillary’s face, and hear it in her words.
Her clip about , “I’ve accepted and am at peace with whatever happens — it will be what’s supposed to be.” (or however she said it), and “I love being a Senator from New York.” etc. She knows. And Katie Couric, to her credit, one of the best in the business, got it out of her.
