the culmination of a quarter century of increasing warfare against her. Amazingly, she knew what she was getting into when she stepped forward.

Frankly, thinking about it, I might like her to run again, and not just to spit in the faces of all those who betrayed themselves and their nation by putting Trump and the Koch in power.

Not saying she's automatically got my vote, no one ever does, but who's going to be half as prepared, as able to fight just as hard to implement her agenda as she was to get there? Even if she didn't win the primary, she'd elevate the discussion of policy to standards some others would prefer to avoid. Could be wrong, so often am, but the Republicans may be readying a bit more of the electorate to wonder what our next president and congress will do with their power.
