Theory: she and Bubba have taken so many bribes on a “sure bet. It is in the bag, we have dirt on Jeb” sales pitch that they cannot drop out now or ever. She will be in it until the end unless they walk her off in handcuffs, thereby destroying the DNC bloc and handing it to Trump. Watch Bernie go third party and hand it to the Repubs who will then disqualify Trump and hand it to Jeb. Maybe Trump and Cruz will go independant at the last moment, but unless they do, GOPe has already figured out how to cheat. That is why the Want Trump to commit so badly
I agree with you completely. The GOPe plays dirty. But I think it is possible that Jeb will be so utterly damaged in 6 months time, that handing it over to him at the Convention really is not an option. In that scenario, they would give it to Trump, thinking, let’s just wait this out and if he wins the election, we’ll turn him into another Nixon. This is not as crazy as some might think when you consider the GOPe and Dems will still control Congress. Smear Trump for a year, then eject him from office, and then its back to business as usual.
