Reply #53: Second that

at this point the facts remain unchanged - nothing about Puerto Rico/SD/MT will gain her the nomination. After today's comments, there is no way she could seriously be given the VP slot. The only thing left is salvaging her political career for the rest of her life.

For that, she needs to announce her exit from the race tomorrow. But I agree that she probably doesn't have that much character in her little finger.

So alternatively, and esp. since the votes in the remaining states couldn't propel her to victory even if she won 100%, she could stay completely out of the limelight until they are over, no more planting assassination threats in minds, no race baiting, no freaking comments at all. And then exit within 24 hours of the last primary election held (June 3?).

While waiting until then might make her feel like less of a loser, it will ensure she is never taken seriously as a politician again. A pronto tomorrow exit could go far to towards people eventually saying, yeah, she had a string of screwups, but remember she finally bought a clue, and left after the last inexcuseable one? Sure, let her have a senate seat still....

It is up to her - I am guessing she will again bet on the wrong horse.
