    She’s an awful person with awful, hateful policies, but she’s right to stay in from a purely tactical perspective.

    The sick, ancient fuck isn’t likely to drop dead in the time frame, but he’s old enough, out of shape enough, stressed enough because his money is threatened and aside from himself that’s all he loves(I wouldn’t say this if one of his kids or spouse were in trouble or sick, he wouldn’t care much), and prone to blood pressure raising rage fits, so she’s more playing a couple numbers on a roulette wheel than a lottery, there is a significant chance it could happen even if it is still unlikely. For that job, it’s probably worth staying for that spin. This occurring is almost certainly more likely than the chances of any third party run in living memory had at winning the general.

    If he has one too many cheeseburgers, she’ll be the one with the most delagates that also happens to have a fancy, schmancy pulse.

      Also, if by any chance he gets convicted prior, he might be the only option not currently in jail.

        That too, but the last few years have destroyed any remaining faith I had in our nation’s state and federal judicial systems.

        If he manages to get disqualified, sure, Haley would be the shoe-in replacement. But getting convicted of any of the other stuff doesn’t actually stop him from running.

        That would only get more support for him from those who blindly worship him. There’s no legal restriction.
