      The more I think about it, the more it looks like she’s a really smart politician who is good at playing dumb. She made herself a household name with the ‘Jewish space lasers’ and now she’s ducking out before the AI bubble bursts. She’ll write a book, go on tour, and be rested and ready in 2028.

      Historical note. After Nixon lost in 1960, he tried to run for the senate. After he lost that race everyone wrote him off. Except Nixon was smart. He went out and busted his hump helping every GOP candidate he could find. By the time 1968 rolled around he had a giant following in the Party. I expect she’ll be doing something similar.

          If she fights Trump now she loses a lot of votes. If she steps away ‘gracefully’ she is in a much better position.

          “I trusted Donald Trump, and I was mistaken. But MAGA is bigger than any one man.”
