Unfortunately that election is 4 years off.

She ran her campaign like the nomination belonged to her. She pissed off reporters (The Atlantic for one) and took some things for granted.

I like her a lot, and smart people learn from failure, but I am concerned about her being out of the public eye.

Why did she not run for re-election at the same time?
