There are signs that Hillary Clinton is dropping her bid for the nomination.

1. She is holding her speech after tomorrow’s primaries in New York rather than in one of the election states. This is unusual.

2. She is inviting long time staffers and donors to New York. There is no reason to do that unless there is something important to announce.

To make this much of so little, as many commentators are doing, is close to reading tea leaves and looking for omens. A spokesperson for Clinton is also denying the rumor. Apparently, it does not take much at this point for someone to jump to the conclusion that she is dropping out.

If she actually quits tomorrow it follows the regular pattern of how candidates drop out. One day they give the impression that they will continue the fight until they are completely defeated. Yet, the next day they concede the fight.
