Is Hillary Clinton already prepping her supporters for losses in the early states?

Hillary MemphisIn a Wednesday email to supporters titled “If we lose Iowa or New Hampshire,” Clinton wrote:

Friend —

The contests in Iowa and New Hampshire will be here faster than you can believe (or at least faster than I can!).

That means it’s time to be realistic about the resources we still need to be ready because right now, winning this nomination is no sure thing.

If we lose in Iowa or New Hampshire, we’re going to need to dig in and work that much harder to make sure we win the nomination. I’m going to fight as hard as I can to earn every last vote. But I need you to fight alongside me. Can you chip in $1 right now?

Thanks — now let’s go win!

Writing at TheHillaryDaily.com, former Clinton advisor Dick Morris notes the admission is “unprecedented.”

Morris writes:

Sanders has always led in New Hampshire with RealClearPolitics.com polling average showing him up but 51-43 over the last seven polls.

But, in Iowa, once considered safe for Hillary, the only post-debate poll, by CNN, has her ahead by only 50-45, a dramatic comedown from the lead PPP found prior to the debate of 52-34.

For Hillary to admit, this far in advance, that she might lose Iowa and/or New Hampshire, we can only speculate on what her private polls must be showing.

Morris believes if Hillary loses Iowa and New Hampshire, and “limps” into the March 1 primary in South Carolina, “she can be in real trouble.”
