She knew she had no chance as a democrat or republican. But instead of crawling under a rock like she should she’s going use her last two years to wring as much out of this situation as possible. She’s made some back room deal with McConnell or whoever to run again and throw the election to Lake. Then she cashes in as a conservative lobbyist. She is just plain stupid because if she stayed a real democrat (instead of leveraging her position) she would’ve been a senator for long time.
