Hillary Gets Desperate as Bernie Sanders Catches Up
Hillary Clinton has been on a deeply uncomfortable streak of trying to show the world her more “likable” and “human-like” qualities. And according to a new poll from The New York Times and CBS, it’s only making things worse.
The tightened race between Mrs. Clinton and Senator Bernie Sandersof Vermont is revealing a sharp generational divide within the Democratic Party, with primary voters under 45 favoring Mr. Sanders by a roughly 2-to-1 ratio.
... Over all, 48 percent of Democratic primary voters across the country support Mrs. Clinton, while 41 percent back Mr. Sanders, the poll found. Just a month ago, she led Mr. Sanders by 20 percentage points nationally.
Despite this, seven out of ten likely Democratic voters still believe that Clinton is destined for the nomination.
The Clinton campaign itself, however, isn’t quite so sure and has taken to pimping out Chelsea Clinton for the sake of a more palatable Bernie burn.

A burn or, you know, blatant untruths. Either way, the Democratic race is tightening up, and Hillary knows it.
