Recent polls have shown a trend. And that trend is a downer for Clinton. She has been losing her lead more and more as we head into April, and closer to voting in PA. If Hillary loses PA, or wins with less than 5%, and after losing NC, will she or SHOULD she step aside?

She should go ahead and stick it out until June until the final primary. But if she is losing badly and it's clear that she can't win (as we already know) she should quit trying to drag Obama down with her. I don't care if she stays in the race, that's her right. I do care if she ruins the party's chance in the fall.

If she wins PA by any margin she will stay in, as long as there is money available. If she loses PA she should call it a day and move on.

But isn't the point of her running based on the fact that she will win big and convince everyone the rest of the country made a mistake and she's the best choice?

That's true. But she'll take the fight to the convention and hope that she and her thug husband can indimidate enough people to vote for them. But it won't happen. Hey, no one said she's selfless, she just continues to prove that she could care less about the success of the Democratic party.

Good point. Seems this plan will backfire in the long haul. If she tries to overturn the votes of the people to win the nomination, it will hurt her chances in the future to run again.

This is her one and only shot. She will not get a second chance.

My husband put it this way. You will literally need to tie a rope around her legs, tie her to a pickup truck and take off doing 90 MPH to drag her from this race. In other words, she will never, never, never quit this race no matter how badly she is losing because it's about her winning, not what is best for the democratic party.

You're right. So she is on the road to self-destruction due to her blind ambition.
