Hillary Clinton’s faith in what she knows to be true may be her most
impressive personal quality. Unlike the thinned skinned Trump, Clinton knows
the personal attacks against her aren’t true. She knows that she isn’t the
caricature popular in the media,
and that when push comes to shove the media
and the public will figure that out. Her ability to brush off her critics and
their criticism actually intensifies the hatred of her critics. Clinton Derangement Syndrome is a real thing!
She knows this, but has enough personal discipline and awareness of the big
picture to realize that their hatred is irrational and that as such it will not
sink her if she simply stays her course.

James Carville put a note up on the wall of his campaign headquarters for Bill Clinton in 1992, “The economy, stupid.” It was a reminder of one of the key elements of Democratic campaign and an effort to say on message.
For any third party candidate with dreams of the White House, I suggest something similar: “It’s the electoral college!” Don't ever forget that this constitutional arrangement controls your destiny.
