I don’t consider what has happened in the past two weeks (and I have been watching) any worse than what she has had to take since 2008.

So, no. I don’t credit that to be much worse than any thing else she has taken and sloughed off. If it was too bad then, it would have been just as bad in 2008, 2009 etc. and said children would have been begging then probably.

In the last 2 weeks it was ramped up. Everybody has a point where they just can't take anymore. I think that two of her children hitting that wall was enough for her. And I would say that she also did not feel God urging her to run.

The choice was hers to make and she made it. Now she can poke the lion without any constraints. No one "owns" her including the GOP.
