If Bernie Sanders wins the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, that won't necessarily end Hillary Clinton's campaign for the Democratic presidential campaign, best-selling conservative author Ed Klein told
Newsmax TV on Thursday.
"I don't think anything short of God coming down and smiting her with a lightning rod is going to take Hillary out of this campaign," Klein told "Newsmax Prime" host J.D. Hayworth. "She's a very tough campaigner, but it certainly will take her into South Carolina as a seriously injured candidate."

Klein's latest book is
"Unlikeable: The Problem with Hillary."
He also believes that Clinton's campaign is "in trouble" in those first two states — that's why former President Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea Clinton are stumping for her — and that Vice President Joe Biden could enter the race if the front-runner is indicted in the email scandal.
"If that happens, Hillary intends, I'm told by my sources, to continue running under indictment," Klein told Hayworth. "She's not going to give up, but I believe that the Democratic Party has an awful lot to lose if that happens.
"Senators will go down. House of Representatives' people will go down. Governors will lose their seats. The Democratic Party will take a huge beating.
"So, the Democratic Party is going to rise up if Hillary's indicted, force her out — and that's when Joe Biden will come in."
