Call it irrational. Call it unrealistic. But Hillary Clinton has her view of how this is going to end, and it won’t be as result of her “quitting.” John has noted that quitting is anathema to the Clintons, who until now have never been beaten, let alone left any place voluntarily. It’s always worked for them to just keep going. It won’t work this time, absent some cataclysmic event, but she still isn’t . . . you know, quitting. She explained in an interview last night:

I don’t believe in quitting. I don’t believe in being pushed out. I feel I have a bond with the nearly 17 million people who have voted for me, and the million more who have expressed support for me or contributed to me or come out to see me. And I think that having a nominee is something we will get to. We’re not, you know, we’re not going to miss that opportunity. We will have a nominee, but only after everyone has had a chance to vote.

So perhaps the media should stop fretting over when and if she’ll quit and why she’s doing it and who it hurts or helps. They could, for a change, just tell us what actually happens every day, not what doesn’t happen or what they think is going to happen soon enough. Wow: this could revolutionize campaign coverage.
