Explanations of the hints: Liam Neeson could play him in the biopic: Winton has been called the British Schindler, and Neeson starred in Steven Spielberg's film about Oskar Schindler; it's a downpayment on the $2 billion race: it sounds like a lot of money for Clinton to raise, but her campaign expects it will need a total of $2 billion to run this race; someone's got to carry the banner of the Democrats' conservative wing: Jim Webb is to the right of frontrunners Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders; and the planet's running out of steam: the planet is slowly slowing, and that necessitates the addition of "leap seconds" from time to time.
