6. Don't mind the chattering mass of Clintonites.

They get really bent out of shape whenever someone points out that Hillary is basically not the indomitable front-runner they want to claim she is. She's going to get her ass handed to her in IA and NH and when she under-performs her polling but still wins in SC, her candidacy is going to be over before Super Tuesday even happens. The eulogies for Clintonism will be heard on all the Sunday shows and the headlines will read "Why the Clinton campaign failed? Twice considered inevitable, twice a participation award and an early exit." It'll take her another two months and several primaries again but she's likely done before she's barely out of the gate.

Then, I'm going to gloat because the thing I want to see most in the entire world is the look on her face when Hillary knows her career in politics and government is over forever; that's she's though, that there is no third act or place of prominence on the stage for her and she just doesn't matter.
