100. sadly that has been my journey too
yes, she has every right to remain in the race. however, the longer she does, the more she alienates people. this election cycle is about change. major change. the republicans have an 80% disapproval rating. they are losing seats in solid hard red states.

Hillary is not and cannot be the candidate for change because of her history. That's just not her narrative. It never can be. She cannot inspire people in the way that Obama does. These things aren't the down and dirty part of politics, but they are a very important part of leadership, like it or not.

The only way she can hope to win now is to change the rules she agreed to, which puts her in the position of a spoiler. So not only is she the candidate of the past, she would be the candidate who crushed hope. Not a good place to start a presidency, imo.
