Not too long ago, Hillary Clinton was quite prepared for the process to end without most states having voted

Hillary Clinton has recently become the most ardent advocate for the long primary process:

She has taken the calls for her to quit and re-cast them as attempts to disenfranchise the voters. In making it clear that Mrs. Clinton is not dropping out, Maggie Williams, her campaign manager, evoked a moment that for Democrats was a searing injustice: “The last time that we were told we’d better cut the process short or the sky would fall was when the Supreme Court stopped the recount in 2000.”
Always the overly dramatic responses from the Clinton campaign. And, they really do have no long term memory because, actually, Maggie Williams, your boss was very happy to cut the process short just a couple months ago. She said it would be over February 5th -- and seemed quite pleased with that prospect.
What a difference a couple months makes. Jed, of course, has the video:
