If only she had retired when there was a chance to replace her with a progressive instead of hanging in until she died.

Sadly that's what power does to people. It's more addictive than crack, they can't let go.

Obviously a very intelligent woman yet so fucking stupid at the end. I wonder if she wasn't already in the clutches of dementia when she decided Hilary was certain to win.
