The tactics she will have to employ to defeat Sanders, those she and her cohorts and compatriots have already used, assure she will be left with no supporters by the end of this, or at least not enough to defeat the GOP.

Unless by some luck Trump ends up as their nominee, Hillary may have only a Pyrrhic victory. She might as well have lost.

Now, it's also good statistics to never declare something 100%.
