OH, THE ANGUISH – AT 9:51 A.M. ET:   Hillary's roll-out, or tweet-out, was less than spectacular, drawing as much ridicule as praise.  And now she's embroiled in a needless battle with the mayor of New York, who'd been her campaign manager when she was in the Senate.  Once again her campaign looks amateurish and petty, as in 2008.  From the New York Post: 

He’s Benedict Bill.

Democratic leaders are fuming after Mayor Bill de Blasio turned his back on mentor and megasupporter Hillary Clinton by not endorsing her presidential bid.

A party source told The Post on Monday that Hizzoner has rankled the top echelon so much that donors may pull support for him when he’s up for re-election.

“Some of Hillary’s biggest bundlers are like, ‘WTF?’ ” the source said.

A city Democratic insider said he fielded furious calls and texts from Clinton’s people all day Monday, the day after de Blasio sniffed on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that it was too early to endorse any candidate.

“I need to see any actual vision of where [candidates] want to go . . . We need to see the substance,’’ said de Blasio, who has landed political jobs thanks to Clinton and her husband, Bill, and even served as campaign manager during her 2000 Senate bid.

A Clinton source scoffed: “He’s known her for, like, 20 years! He doesn’t know what her philosophy of government is?”

The Democratic insider added: “The Clinton people are really angry. They’re furious.”

COMMENT:  That's Little League ball on the part of the Clinton camp.  I mean, who cares what the mayor of  New York does?   Everyone knows he'll eventually endorse his old partner.  By blowing up at the fact that he isn't fawning all over the queen on her first day out, the Clintonians show, once again, their smallness and arrogance.  And you may be sure that these attitudes come from the top.

I just hope Hillary doesn't blow up at her new granddaughter for not being out on the campaign trail already.  That would get noticed.
