AND SHE HASN'T EVEN HIT THE ICEBERG YET – AT 9:14 A.M. ET:  Hillary Clinton takes a dive in the polls.  From IBD: 

With just 21 days until the presidential primaries officially begin in Iowa, Hillary Clinton's support among Democrats nationally has taken a serious tumble, falling eight points to 43%, according to the latest IBD/TIPP Poll. Support for her chief rival, Bernie Sanders, climbed six points to 39%.
As a result, Clinton's lead over Sanders, which had been 18 points, is now just 4 points.

Other polls have shown the race tightening in Iowa, which holds its caucuses on Feb. 1, and New Hampshire, which has its primary eight days later. Two recent New Hampshire surveys have Sanders in the lead, and the latest NBC poll in Iowa has Sanders just three points behind Clinton.
But the IBD/TIPP Poll is the first to show the race significantly tightening nationwide.

Clinton, in response to her sagging poll numbers, has started to turn up the heat on Sanders, after all but ignoring the self-described socialist whose maverick campaign has been surprisingly resilient. CNN reported over the weekend that "a sense of anxiety is cascading through Hillary Clinton's campaign" over Sanders' gains.

COMMENT:  I have to believe that part of Hillary's slide has to do with Donald Trump calling her out on the subject of women's rights – recalling her own trashing of those women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual offenses.  I think that was a decisive moment, exposing Hillary as a fraud.
