Why can't Hillary close the Deal?
But watching Obama stumble across the finish line as the presumptive nominee is not a formula to inspire the Democrats with confidence heading into the fall elections.
But Hillary is fighting her way in the lead? She can't make any more inroads into his voting demographic base than he can into hers. Why is this such a huge idea? Could you not argue that Obama is fighting to stay ahead in the race and that when he crosses the finish line he was able to do it by fighting the typical politics of Washington against an establishment candidate?
If Hillary is such a great formidable candidate with name recognition and a powerful political machine, why can't she close the deal?
The answer is neither can and that's why we are where we are now. Neither candidate can deliver that "knock-out" that everyone disparately wants. As a result, we fall into this petty bickering about a statement or a supporter and it is doing nothing for our country. Do I have an answer? No, but it doesn't seem that anyone with a voice in the media does either. Perhaps that's what the story should be.
