So whatever gave you the impression she was leaving the party? If she doesn’t, would you still support her? I’m afraid that if she wanted to run for pres. any time soon, it would be too soon to win in a 3rd party! Now someday, however, it could happen.
There have, in times past, people who started political movements and parties. Some were very successful, some not. At this time, we may or may not have a country left to argue over! We may not have that luxury. I realize the Repub. and Dem. parties have their faults; but they are the only ones with clout at this time! Yes, even Repubs. still have some clout, not much, but some.
I read her speech. She pledged to support candidates regardless of party. And yes if she doesn’t leave I will still support her. And if she chooses not to run for President I support her decision. But the Republican party no longer has my ‘hold your nose and vote’ support.
