    All that financial backing didn’t help her win. She would rather lose the election than lose a source of money.

        Would she? What part of the money she received made her pivot to the right more palatable to the average voter?

          Correct!

          She wasn’t a good candidate in 2020 and wasn’t better in 2024.

          She COULD have won if Biden had stepped down in 2022 and let her run as the incumbent president, or if Biden had decided not to run early enough to run a proper primary and she survived the primary process.

          Giving her only 100 days and blocking her from running down Biden doomed her candidacy.
