I just moved from Texas (solidly red, so I voted knowing all my candidates would probably lose) to NJ (solidly blue, so I voted knowing my candidates would win even without me.)

I wondered about that over my dinner tonight. Hey, remember how everyone talks about going back in time to kill Hitler, before it all started? Well.

I’m sure NYC still loves her. She is probably out as a Presidential candidate but I doubt she’ll retire.

I seriously fucking hope not, because that would be a guaranteed way to lose another election.

No, maybe she’ll make a documentary about Global Warming or something.

She’ll run the Clinton Foundation, which is pretty successful at solving world health problems. I won’t blame her at all if she goes on a vacation for a year. Rent a villa in Italy, Hillary! Her political career is over. But her life is not.

The idea she would every run again is horrifying. She got beat by Obama and then beat by Trump. In hindsight the Democrats should have had someone else on deck for 2016. We can wring our hands about Stein and Johnson but at the end of the day it starts at the top. Trump is the DNC and Clintons fault.

She’s 69. Of course not.

Pretty much discreditted her as a Presidential candidate and, likely, completely ended her political career entirely. The Democrats are not as forgiving of failures as the Republicans.

She’s 69, so probably not. And I’d like to see someone who isn’t named Clinton or Bush run. (And stop saying Michelle Obama in 2020; she doesn’t want anything to do with politics, and again, I’d like someone who wasn’t first lady to be the first female president.)

I will bet good money that she will stay involved in politics at some level, but her days as a presidential candidate are over.

It’s over. But they are very, very rich and it’s my hope that they funnel that money to progressive down ticket causes, or to green initiatives. Anyone who wants to respond “yeah but, yeah right, blah blah” I don’t care right now. I can hope that.

She’s run twice and been soundly rebuked twice - she won’t run again, she’s just not connecting and it’s too important to let her swing and miss a third time in 2020.

The American people have rejected her twice in 10 years. I think it’s safe to say it’s over.

She’s in her late 60s. Democrats historically don’t give failed Presidential nominees a second bite at the apple. The Clinton political machine is dead.

Sure, we know something bad happened, and that the security are careful because they recognize how malfunctioning hosts could be dangerous - but our interpretation of that is shaped by knowledge of what happened in the movie.

I think the fly from the beginning was less of a “do no harm” lesson and more of a “this thing that I have likely been programmed to ignore is registering in my brain as a pest”, pointing to how she thinks when monitoring human eyes are not around. It’s meant to hint at off the script behavior.

I’m also not a fan of the parallel timeline theory, but I think that Dolores still being a part of both of them, and the fact that she’s the oldest host in the park, is because she holds some kind of sentimental value to Ford. I think they showed us his family hosts to reveal that he is capable of sentimentality, to…

Actually the techs don’t know that a host’s “prime directive” can be edited. Elsie just found that out this episode.

“Maeve’s tour of the building was pretty emotional. Was that music another repurposed 90's song, or did they make it for the show?”
