Dennis the Menace and Mr Wilson

As I've gotten older, I've come to agree with Mr. Wilson. Dennis was a little shit who kept bothering Mr. Wilson, a retired postal worker trying to live out his golden years.

Hillary's biggest challenge in 2016: Democratic enthusiasm

Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry all lost because Democrats were not enthusiastic about their campaigns. Clinton and Obama each won twice because Democrats were excited about their campaigns. Clinton's 1992 and Obama's 2008 campaigns crossed into the pop culture with Clinton playing the sax on Arsenio Hall's talk show and Will I Am's "Yes, we can" video featuring a number of celebrities.

For Hillary to win, she has to make Dems excited about her. If she relies on the usual Dem campaign consultants who ALWAYS advise to take the base for granted and play for the mythical moderate voters, she will lose no matter what the polls say. Dem consultants encourage candidates to be more conservative in order to curry favor with big donors which also mean fatter paychecks for them, no matter the results.
