(469 posts)59. To whom, exactly, will she look "silly"?
To the few political junkies here on DU and over on KOS, Alternet, etc.? How much do we count for in the general election? The media EXPECTS (and, truth be known, WANTS) her to tack right, so they're not gonna tell the low-info crowd that she'd doing anything silly - so they won't think it's silly at all! It'll be taken as a "politics as usual" move - nothing more & nothing less.
Here's what I KNOW will happen on the morning of November 9th if a Democratic Candidate wins the election. If it's Bernie, his first move will be to build a transition team and start making cabinet nominations. If it's Hillary, her first move will be to fund the PACs & Super PACs for 2020.
