Strategic voting is a feature of any voting system. Whether it’s a good idea or not (I’m torn—the only way I can see it backfiring is a Clinton/Obama ticket, but even there the more radical part of the demonRAT base will go ballistic calling Obama Hillary’s ‘house n*****r’, and saying ‘the Man’ has robbed African-Americans of the Presidency), Operation Chaos is just an extreme manifestation of strategic voting.
No subversion of the sacred trust of voting, just an odd way of using that trust.
I think you have a better chance of Hillary running as a third party candidate than her sitting on the bottom part of the presidential ticket.
Besides, interesting factoid, the last sitting VP to be elected president was George H.W. Bush. The last one before that, Martin Van Buren. History is not on her side. (and no I didn't know that it was a Final Jeopardy question).
