Instead of the hubris to hold onto the job until death and thereby subsequently undo many of the things she spent her life fighting for.

A bit off-topic, but this seems to be an ongoing problem for the Democratic party. They just lost an important vote on a budget bill in the House by a single vote, because Gerry Connolly wasn't willing to give up his House seat and instead clung on until he (very predictably) died of cancer a few days ago.

This is drama, a republican congressperson was asleep for the bill. This is producing storylines to sell during the mid terms.

Dont believe it for a second. The Republican Party moves in lockstep.

But if the Democratic guy had stepped down and they had a non sick person then the story would have been much better: Republican bill fails because one of their members was asleep and missed the vote.

He would be awake for the vote.

They would go to his location and shake him awake if they had to.
