ABC’s Dowd: ‘The Theory of Hillary Is Always Much Better than the Actual Reality’

“That’s a big step that she’s going to have to overcome. The interesting thing about Hillary is that every time before she gets in a race, the theory of Hillary is always much better than the actual reality of Hillary running for president. It happened in 2007 and ‘08. Everybody loved her. She got in the campaign, they ended up disliking her. This year she got in. Before she got in, everybody loved her. She gets in this race, and her numbers drop. I think she’s going to have to figure out — she’s got to confront two things: the majority of people dislike her, and the majority of people distrust her. And both of those things, you can’t run a winning effort.”
