You have something there. Rational thought would dictate (as noted by a poster below) that she could NEVER EVER EVER get the dem. nom. in 2012 after such a stunt. But... 1. Her ego would not allow her to believe that she didn’t have a shot. 2. She just MIGHT have a shot in 2012 because millions of dumb ass dems still think the clintons are worshipped by millions of Americans.
If she didn’t get the nomination this time around it is over for her. No one is going to want to spend another 100 million on her run, especially after they saw her dismal performance this time around.
