Why in the world would she get in now? She saves money, makes money, lets others pound each other and not her, not waste her time with 8 people on stage, let others waste all their money...

I rather appreciate Theodore Roosevelt's 1913 response to this question:

THE MAN IN THE ARENA

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming...

Teddy wasn’t talking about a candidate getting in when it’s strategically smart, rather than jumping in stupidly soon.
