I can see how someone doesn’t like the idea of abandoning a sinking ship, therefore they’re sticking with Hillary to the bitter end. A lot of people out there had an inordinate amount of sympathy for her when her husband was abandoning her, and they don’t want to abandon her now. I, on the other hand, see her as a scheming politician and have no reason to trust her in any regard. The fact that she’s upsetting the Democratic applecart right now is typical of her unrelenting control-freakishness; the thought of her as President of the United States – another chapter in the Bush-Clinton-Bush episode – has me seething. Of course she should just let it go for the higher good and greatest benefit of the Democratic party, but it’s hardly in her nature to think in those terms. One wonders if she’s trying to set some stage to vie for the presidency in four years, but I seriously doubt if even she in her bordering-on-insane egocentricity would imagine Barack Obama would invite her to work alongside him for the next four years!
