An exercise in self-delusion
Whilst working late yesterday, I was watching BBC News 24's coverage of the primary elections. There was footage of Hillary Clinton shaking hands with her supporters, and smiling that far-too-fake smile; the one that looks as though she's a guppy fish that's just been told that it's won the lottery.
The reporter said something to the effect of, "Hillary Clinton looks very upbeat here. Maybe she thinks she can still win this nomination".
Of course she does. Despite the fact that the numbers are against her. Anyone who thinks they can be named after Sir Edmund Hillary despite being born six years before anyone had heard of him, or who says she was shot at by snipers in Bosnia when she was actually greeted by small children is obviously self-delusioned. Despite it being virtually impossible for her to win the popular vote for the nomination, Hillary still obviously believes she can win. And it doesn't matter if she drags her party down with her.
