I agree---to a degree. Hillary's been taking shots for as

long as 30 somethings remember though. I think barring some Foxnews wet dream about Hillary (Sorry for that image), her downsides are pretty limited relative to Cruz, who really is polling gawawful numbers at the moment--hardly about 30% in a three way race.

People don't like HIllary. I don't like Hillary.

But people really don't like Cruz. Hillary seemed to garner some collegial respect in the Senate. Cruz seems to have really pissed his colleagues off. I think his downside under the spotlight is considerable. In fact, I think we're seeing it show up strong in the current Republican polls. Honestly, how can someone who can only manage 23% in PA win the big prize?
