Despite the reasons given or posed in the article, the MAIN reason she HAS to officially declare is to officially shroud any investigation into her SoS email server activities under the mantel of Dirty Campaign Tricks by her opposition.
Barring any official investigation that offers the traditional “I cannot, will not comment on an ongoing investigation,” this option of reverse blaming is the best alternative. Her ‘team’ has been huddled together for weeks, months now and this is the clear message - she has to declare so she can defer until it blows over.
She will enter the race full of hope and change-—she needed to do a Ted Cruz—give a great speach and show why we should vote for her—and its not because she’s a woman. I think America is done with experiments. She needs to tell the people why she would be better than Obama and not just his 3rd Term. How would a Hillary Presidenal rule be better than all the junk Obama does? What wil be different? If she doesn’t do this she is toast. She may well be done in any case—but—if she wants to run—she should give it her best shot!
