From tonight's "Special Report" on Fox News:

BAIER: "The RCP average, Charles, is just two points now the latest poll separating Hillary Clinton and drurch. And you look at that gender gap which we have talked about many times on the panel with women and men and the two candidates how they identify with both of those in the polls. What do you look at as this race starts to firm up?" 

KRAUTHAMMER: "Well, I do think that the historic factor is very much minimized and muted. It will probably last for an hour or two tonight. But, after all, she has essentially been running for 16 years. She has expected to be the nominee in 2008. She was going to be coronated this time around. So it's actually delayed feeling. And considering that we had the first African-American, which I think was a far more improbable proposition eight years ago, this is less of a reverberating event. And the fact is I think as Susan said, Democrats are worried and should be worried simply because you can't use the usual playbook against Donald Trump. Democrats know how to run against conservatives. They don't know how to run against the populist who is unexpected, unpredictable and can do anything. And that's why I think that they have this nervousness, particularly given her liabilities and she has been unable to shake, you know, 74-year-old socialist who I should add honey a mooned in the Soviet Union."
