I dunno, here’s a scenario that might work for her:
Poor Bill’s health ‘suddenly’ deteriorates, and he passes away. Poor heartbroken Hillary just can’t campaign anymore due to this, and reluctantly drops out, endorsing Obama as the best one to beat those ‘wascally wepublicans’. Then, right before the convention, the final dirty story comes out about him, sinking his campaign, and she is asked to come back and ‘save the party’ (conveniently without the albatross hanging around her neck).
I’ve often thought that Hillary had a better chance at winning as a ‘stoic widow’ bud didn’t see a way for her to pull it off, but this way might work for her...Bill had better employ some food-tasters pretty quick!
It is highly ironic that the theme of the movie “American President”, which we all thought was Bill’s inner hidden secret wish to be a widower in the WH, might actually apply to his sourpuss spouse, LOL!
I was working on a novel 10 years ago with some of the same themes. I should have finished it. It had her blackmailing the VP candidate after the convention and being put on the ticket. A brinbed alternate elector in a small state steps in after an elector is whacked and gives the Dems the victory in the electoral college. After the election, guess what happened to the president-elect?
