will you accept that she won fair and square or call it some kind of coronation? Isn't that some kind of sweeping generalization on the nature of her candidacy? Doesn't that diminish her supporters as vassals and serfs.

She has no control over who runs and who doesn't run. The candidates make up their own minds.

She's been deflecting daggers from the left and the right since Jerry Brown first brought up Whitewater in '92. If she win's the Presidency in 2016, she'll have earned it.
