Her gamble is a brokered convention (no single candidate winning enough primaries to get a majority WITHOUT her “approved” DNC master delegates (governors (?), representatives, senators)).
As soon as that “first ballot” is finished (with no 50% winner) all bets are off and she is cleared to be “acclaimed” as the nominee - WITH NO PRIMARY CAMPAIGN. Hillary's biggest fear is a primary win (by somebody else, an Oprah candidacy, or a "Draft Michelle" campaign.
"After my inauguration, I plan to appoint Hillary my Attorney General, or maybe to the Supreme Court. My son Hunter will be my Secretary of the Treasury. My Vice President Buttgiggity will be sent to a lot of state funerals around the world."
No, I don’t think it will wait til the convention. Once ComanChe flames out and it’s Biteme or Dinobernie, then it will be apparent to all that the demented dickweed Biteme will have to be taken out, and no one is gonna let Dinobernie win unless all the far leftie candidates (i.e., everyone but Biteme) back him.
If Cankles gets in, she’d get in around Super Tues.
