I never understood why she was touted as presidential material. She lacks experience, leadership, credibility and above all else - charisma. But then again, you can say that for the other 20 Democrats vying for the nomination.
I'm sure those who invested in Lizzy are disappointed by what they finally got, but now they'll wring whatever they can out of their investment. If she controls 10% or even 5% or 3% of the primary vote, that's a heck of a lot of power and money for her handlers/investors and they'll cash it in by selling their endorsement to whatever candidate they can.
So for most of these candidates, it's not about winning, it's about power and influence with the one that wins, or for the little guys, maybe book that nets them half a million and some power if in fact they deliver something of value along the way to the loss.
Throughout history, human kind, in groups, is disgusting :-)
That is clearly what's behind Ayn's notion that the evilest word in the English language is 'we.' It's not that groups are always bad, and in fact they are necessary and certain types of voluntary groups are almost always beneficial. But while mankind has achieved much through cooperation, it's also the source of most of his misery throughout history.
Progressives, who throughout history have changed their name constantly to erase the past, are usually the vehicle of the most disgusting evil. I count histories fascists among them, there is nothing 'right' or 'conservative' or even truly nationalist in a Hitler or other so called far righty. For them, the country was just a vehicle to power, the nation and its people was ancillary. They were not for their country or it's people, that was just the platform they used to rise to power.
But alas, you didn't ask me for a vain exposition! Too late!
