Agree. But, how without a miracle, could that happen? Have we ever had a candidate that rose from the ashes of the Primaries without going through the process and get the nomination at the National Convention? If she is drafted after or near the end of the Primaries, how could she overcome the conventional processes?

All kinds of them. The most recent was Ike, IIRC. Many 19th and early 20th Century nominees were picked at the convention, not in primaries.
