In reply to the discussion: Ms. Clinton [View all]Jackpine Radical
(45,274 posts)77. Indeed, you have expressed the exact idea that has led me
not to comment on whether I would vote for Hill in the General. I'm not giving up that infinitesimal bit of power for no reason at this point. Just as, if I were Liz Warren, I would not be making ironclad statements about whether or not I were running. Whatever her ultimate intentions, the ferment around her possible candidacy helps draw attention to her issues, and magnifies her senatorial "Bully Pulpit" effect.
