Hillary will not go voluntarily, and she has too much dirt on the democrat leadership for them to make her leave. They know she’s as electable as a dead dog but they are stuck with her and can’t do anything about it.
I think they just go through the motions of supporting her, watch her go down in flames, and disappear into political irrelevance. “Gee Hillary, we tried, we tried really hard to get you elected like you deserved. But that mean old Trump cheated. Oh well....”
They let the party take the hit but serve their own personal interests. They don’t have to worry about their files in her possession anymore.
This scenario would rise. Wasserman Schultz is in very hot water and except for clowns like Boxer, Dems have been pretty quiet.
Maybe this is a “sauve qui peut” situation where the Dems bail on Hillary and try to salvage state and local elections
