Inevitable? Hillary Clinton Ignores Primary, Skips to General Election, in Video Message

Inevitability is said to be one of Hillary Clinton’s hinderances in securing the Democratic party’s nomination for president, that she must earn the nomination rather than claim it as a right. But to listen to Mrs. Clinton’s recent videotaped message to the South Carolina Democratic Party’s convention, one would think she’s just waiting to find out who her Republican challenger will be, ignoring the entire primary process.

Mrs. Clinton begins her message by greeting the delegates and thanking them “for organizing precincts, making calls, knocking on doors, registering voters. Thank you for the hours you’ve spent and the blocks you’ve walked on behalf of a Democratic South Carolina party.”
