2016 has been a big year for applying the term "glide path" to a political
process:

On Face the Nation Sunday morning, I heard Reince Priebus use "glide path"
in a negative sense, talking about Hillary Clinton. Very unusual:

"Look, she has put us on a glide path which has created a situation that
Americans are hurting in this country."
