It really doesn’t make sense. She is not the 2nd choice of the majority Trump supporters. If somehow Trump were not able to run in November the party masters could not successfully run her as the Republican.

She has to know this. She cannot unite that which she has insulted. The only avenue that this makes sense for her and her political career is if somehow she were to run as a 3rd party this time around.

If she runs as a third party, she can say goodbye to ever winning a Republican nomination. The primary system isn't designed to be a situation where you become a sore loser and then muck it up for the person that beat (dare I say, trounced) you. I don't see how going third party in her situation would be a good career move, unless she is doing it for the campaign contributions.
