Consider for a moment Richard Nixon, 1962 to 1967, he suffered two devastating losses, yet rose again in '68 to become President. He spent those years in NYC, close to the real power people behind the scenes.
Hillary is well positioned to both hob knob with the real power and stay in the public limelight through various means: TV, public appearances, as a 'talking head' etc. She is banking on an Obama defeat, count on it.
So is Soros and others.
It’s also their next step on the road to serfdom uh communism. Sure hope Romney/Ryan are who they say they are.
