When will Hillary Clinton give up her candidacy ?

The growing list of financial scandals, coverups for past misdeeds and major errors and misdeeds in public office that are following her ; the resulting rising public reaction against her; and her all-too-evident tin ear and proclivity to self-serving and awkward misstatements all suggest to me that Hillary Clinton's candidacy may be headed for a sudden collapse. She certainly still dominates the field of potential Denocrat candidates. However increasingly polling data indicate steadily declining support; formerly friendly media centers (like the NY Times) are reporting adverse materials about her; and potential competitors in the Democrat Party are becoming more assertive, with some even criticizing the formerly untouchable front runner. All of this appears to be gathering momentum fairly quickly

How much time will pass before growing numbers of Democrat power brokers panic and realize they have little time left to develop a replacement strong candidate? (in Politics everyone loves a perceived winner, but is quick to flee from a damaged contender. This is an element that could cause Hillary's remaining support, though still strong, to suddenly collapse. This is a prospect that, in my eyes, had only a faint likelihood just a few weeks ago, Increasingly it seems much more likely to me. Worse for her, Hillary is at best an awkward campaigner, and beset as she is by a growing criticism, even worse in dealing with such attacks - a very bad combination for her in the present circumstances.

We are eighteen months from the Presidential election and the state primaries won't start for eight months or so. That's a long time to stand in a gathering storm, such as is surrounding around Hilkary now.

It's also enough time for analogous surprises and reverses to hit any of her competing Democrat and Republican candidates as well. The future remains unknowable, but Hillary increasingly looks like badly damaged political goods to me.
