I wouldn't be surprised if the latter. I don't know that the Rs had anyone who could compete with Clinton on charisma which is always dangerous. Hell when Bush Sr ran he didn't realize what he was going up against until it was too late.

I still remember watching that moment in the town hall when it hit me that he was going to win, and probably by a good margin. He was smooooth.

Coincidentally, I also remember watching Hillary Clinton do the dance thing during a debate with Trump and that's the moment I decided she might actually lose despite everyone suggesting it was going to be a blowout. Told my wife "If she loses, it will be because of that attitude." She definitely does not have Bill's charisma.
