Clinton trudging up the hill. [View all]

It took my overnight to begin to appreciate the upsides of Obama's joke about Hillary at the correspondents dinner - a cartoon of her pushing a boulder up a hill. If you discount Sysiphus it was as positive as you could get for a required slam.

But as time goes by I'm getting even more positive about it. I'm seeing a general election where Hillary's lack of "excitement" becomes a great foil for pointing out Trump's total lack of substance. I read something about this in the last few days and can't get at it via Google for the life of me. It was an article questioning the value of Sanders/Trumps large crowds. Can anyone point me to where that might be?

p.s. I FOUND IT! But the date is April 26. Dunno why I didn't see it until the last few days.
