    I think she knows she’s a protest vote.

    What are the rules if Trump suddenly dies? I can’t imagine they just crown her the nomination.

      I think the real reason that Koch foundation, etc al, funded her campaign until last week was still that they’d have somebody qualified in case it’s rolled that Trump is ineligible.
