Failure proof?

I always thought that (some) failure was the recipe for success.

Not so according to our Democratic Candidates Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar that – according to Warren - were “The only people on this stage who have won every single election that they’ve been in...”

This was said under the context they both are female, yet for me, winning all the time is absolutely no guarantee that the pattern will go on forever. I might be more confident of someone with a checkered track-record of failures and victories.

One learns an awful lot from defeat, but very little from success.

In fact, the latter might bear the seeds of hubris and what is now absolutely guaranteed is that one of the two, Warren or Klobuchar, will lose this primary contest.
