Here is a probable conversation that Hillary(H) and her campaign manager(CM) will have several months from now:
CM: "Hillary, I know we were both hoping it would be Trump but our worst fears are now realized-- you're debating Ted Cruz."
H: (crying) You expect me to debate Cruz? Get me out of it!
CM: I can't get you out of it.
H: I'll just say I fell again and hit my head. That worked before to get me out of testifying in one of my scandals. I can't remember which scandal that was.
CM: You can't use that one again. You must show up.
H: Will you be there?
CM: Unfortunately yes. I'll be the person in the back row with the brown sack over my head.
H: But Cruz actually knows the issues, he's a brilliant thinker and debate champion. I'm just.. I'm just Hillary.
CM: I know. You're be exposed for the dummy that you are in front of millions of people. I hear they are saying this may be more brutal than The Walking Dead and they're actually advising women and children not to watch.
H: (crying) I can't do it! Look, my incompetence in Benghazi got innocent Americans murdered and I got out of that one. You're telling me I can't get out of a stinking debate? Can you at least tell me something positive to get my hopes up a little?
CM: Yes, I can. Millions of ignorant folks will still vote for you just because you're a Democrat.
H: Okay, that makes me feel a little better.
CM: "Hillary, I know we were both hoping it would be Trump but our worst fears are now realized-- you're debating Ted Cruz."
