I disagree that it is all of a sudden. Iowa was the first big wake up call and they have been on defense ever since.

Clinton's negative campaigning and friendly-fire in 2008 finished her off. She is attacking Sanders much the same way and it is a mistake, again. She comes off a little paranoid in the Greenpeace clip. Nevada and Wisconsin are a signs that things are slipping away from her.
