There MUST be somebody in power to continue the cover up. Hillary has the desire, but she probably doesn’t have the physical ability. There really is nobody else that has the name recognition and is entwined enough to be trusted to keep up the scam.
Thats how Chicago politics works - never deal with anybody that you don’t have something on. Think Lisa Madigan getting “elected” as Attorney General in Illinois. She was in there to keep a lid on things. You need somebody in the family.
I understand what you are describing, but taking the House may have sufficed to accomplish this. Given the motley crew of Dem candidates today, I suspect serious Dems who want to be president are waiting for 2024. This same scenario played out in 1992 (with a surprise ending); BJ Clinton announced his candidacy when Bush I was very popular, and other Dems assumed he would win re-election. It would be hard to repeat that now, because the media that cost Bush I the election, and put Obama in twice, has been circumvented by Trump; he communicates directly with his base, and his support seems unshakeable with most of them.
