Hillary Clinton made one mistake. She got in the race. If she stayed out of the race, by the time the Rat convention rolled around, Biden, O’Malley and Sanders would be so far behind any Republican that the DNC would beg her to join the race to unify the party.
In July, the convention would demand that Hillary be recruited to save the party and the country. She wouldn’t have needed 500 million, the love the press would have given her would have been enough to generate the publicity needed to get her over the hump. Also, she wouldn’t have to campaign, nor answer any questions, nor debate. All she would need to say is the talking points which would be, “I have been recruited by America to take our country to the next level.” There would never be “level down.”
That was Hillary’s road to the White House.
Too risky for Hillary!, I think: the result would have been Biden/Warren taking the nomination with a plethora of superdelegates.
Dirty little secret: the Democrats want to lose in 2016, they just don't want Hillary! to be the loser, because she won't leave smiling, the way Jokin' Joe will. Why do they want to lose? Because when the SHTF in 2017-18, they can blame whoever is in the Oval Office, and the MSM will obsequiously comply, so that in 2020 the real Transformer of America can arise, someone perhaps like Amita Omara, or Akilah Ensley, or Julian Castro.
That's why we HAVE to ensure that the GOP nominee is NOT a GOPe nominee, because the only way the Dem strategy can be thwarted is for a GOP President who turns things around the way Reagan did in 1981-84, so that when 2020 arrives, the Dems can have their Progressive Hissy Fit and it won't matter, because the nation in general will be unified behind a President Cruz or even a President Trump.
Nice take-—not getting in would have been Hillary’s best bet...waiting to be recruited by the party.
However, I believe she got in b/c it was a money-maker for the greedy Clintons.
Betcha everytime she showed her face as a candidate, a letter went out from the Clinton Foundation assuring donors “payback is coming when Hillary wields the presidential pen.”
Would be interesting to know just how much money they raised on her candidacy alone.
They are beholden to a lot of people....wealthy people who always get a return on investment.
