Will Hillary pull a Lieberman-style stunt when she is forced out?
I can see it now... Hillary runs as an independent...

3. Who knows how far her hubris and sense of entitlement will push her over the edge.

7. I think this is a very valid question...
...because she's completely run off the rails---and has demonstrated that she will do anything
to win the nomination--including deluding herself into thinking that she can win.

She appears like a loose cannon to me.

This portion of the race isn't even rooted in reality, as far as I'm concerned. Even if she wins
PA by 10 points, she'd have to win all remaining contests by 67 percent. It's just not possible.

However, she continues on--behaving as if every state is her new firewall.

It's very rational to debate what she'll do after this ends--because her outlandish behavior
during the process has been so off the charts.

10. nonsense. If for no other reason than she is the wife of the last dem
president. His legacy is her legacy, and she knows it. Furthermore, her behavior has not been outlandish- at all. Ruthless, yes, but that's not the same thing.

15. Everyone is entitled to their opinion Cali...
...and I guess the "outlandish" is in the eye of the beholder.

I do understand Clinton's thinking. She wants to win. She's hoping
that she can bloody up Obama enough during this process, to make him
unelectable--thus convincing the remaining uncommitted SuperD's to go
her way.

I find that outlandish. I think it's absurd. She's banking on so
many 'what ifs' that all hinge on her tearing apart the person who
will be our party's nominee, unless she can slash and burn him to
ashes.

She's totally focused on herself, and on what she wants. It's
totally understandable that she wants this. I can only imagine the
angst she is feeling. I'm not without emotion for her struggle
and for the impending pain that will hit her, when she finally
realizes that it's over.

However, her hyperfocusing on herself has left her making really
poor choices for our party. She's totally ignoring reality and
focusing on the 1 percent chance that that she has--while creating
a wake of destruction for that 1 percent.

That's outlandish in my book.

13. No, I don't think she'd become an independent.
I do sometimes worry that maybe she'll pull out some underhanded shit at the convention. Hopefully it won't matter by then.
