Matt Bai: “We think what we’re seeing is an elaborate campaign, directed by Hillary, to lock down the 2016 nomination and solidify her image as a leader. But in reality, this isn’t emanating from Clinton, and it has nothing to do with voters. What we’re really looking at is a campaign orchestrated by nervous Democrats and aimed at persuading Clinton herself.”
“So all of this Hillary machinery in Washington — four Washington super PACs and counting — really isn’t coming together because Clinton gave the sign. It’s happening because Washington insiders are trying to persuade their only towering candidate that the race would not only be winnable, but also relatively painless. That’s the only way they can be reasonably sure that Clinton will enter the race.”
