America Lopsided Like 1972 Again

So I'm watching an old episode of Cimmaron City on MeTV and this comes on
(link to video of miniinfomercial). 85% to 15%. Seems about right, compared to the temperature of the hinterland of America during the Nixon-McGovern election. (or like Yankees-Mets car flags in New York during 2000 Subway Series). Were Hillary as tough as her image, she might be able to brawl her way to a close election like Hubert Humphrey did in 1968, or her husband did in 1992. Instead she is barely going to make it to the convention, going down in a spectacular display of self-destructive madness at some point, and possibly taking the entire Democratic Party with her.. Is it the revenge of Thomas Eagleton ?
From the Boca Raton News, July 20, 1972
