I'm not sure that the dynamics between 1984 and today are that similar but many of the dynamics are still in play.

I remember at the time feeling that challengers had a reasonable chance, compared to the Media foisted chant, "Here comes Hillary", which really disturbs me as I don't find that many outside the Internet and Cable news are talking about her.

There are a lot of good men and women out there that need to be given every chance without undo press being given to the candidate most gifted with sheer familiarity.

Thank you.
