Hillary's not running. We already have a two time loser right wing warmongering bankster shill corporatist in the race, and that would be Biden. Hillary wouldn't want to split that vote.... which is also why Biden didn't run in 2016. They would cancel each other out.
If Hillary's planning something, it's far more sinister..... and that would be gambling on a brokered Democratic convention where no candidate has secured enough pledged delegates to claim the nomination (Bernie, Biden, Warren, or Mayo Pete being the likely survivors at this point)
Under the current rules of the Democratic party, only the pledged delegates can vote on the first ballot. Should there be no winner there, the so-called "superdelegates" come in on the second ballot. If they still can't decide on a winner, somebody might then suggest a "compromise" candidate that all parties can agree on. This is where Hillary might try to insert herself into the process, buy off the superdelegates, and emerge as the nominee without winning a single fucking primary vote.
Or at least that's her dream scenario. Chances of it happening in reality? Bernie delegates aren't going to put up with it obviously. Warren delegates? Probably split there. Those who support her simply because of her gender would switch to Hillary in a heartbeat. Same with the Biden delegates who would settle for any right wing warmongering bankster shill corporatist. Mayo Pete's fans would probably prefer a younger corporatist, but if Hillary offered him the VP slot, they would probably be on board.
Best way to avoid this? Bernie wrapping up the nomination by the end of March.Eat Us And Smile
