Fournier: Senior Dems Including Those in Clinton’s Campaign ‘Are Really Freaked Out’

‘Can she stand up against the credible Republican candidate after going through a grilling nomination process where she has undermined her credibility?’

KING: “It is an interesting argument for the fortress frontrunner to if we lose Iowa we don't like it but it's ok. We lose New Hampshire we won't like it but it's ok because then we go south. We have all these racists where you have either a majority or a plurality of African-Americans in Texas. He's after Americans and Latinos. But on paper that's right those states are better for her institutionally. She has all the endorsements. She has the infrastructure. But can a Clinton who had all this money and the whole army in her port lose the first two states?

FOURNIER: “She could. It depends on how you're looking at this. If it's all about, you know, can she win the nomination and you grind away through I suppose so. But senior Democrats including her Democrats in her campaign when they're being honest with you, they'll tell you they're really freaked out. They're really scared. Not that Bernie Sanders is going to be the nominee, to your point. But can she stand up against a credible Republican candidate after going through a grueling nomination process where she's undermined her credibility through her own actions. And if somebody like Bernie Sanders can win Iowa and New Hampshire and force her into a long fight, how will she be able to stand up. And even if she then wins the presidency is she going to be able to lead this country after running this kind of campaign. Smart Democrats are worried about both those questions. Can she win the nomination? Or three. Win the nomination. Can she become president, and if she's president can she be a credible leader. They're worried.”
