LOL, that's what I'm sayin.'  Let's wait and see.

What she said to run as a Dem for president way back then is no more indication of her positions now 

than is her eventual endorsement of Biden an indication of her current stance towards him or Dems in general.

The "real" conservatives in the GOP will hold her feet to the fire on previous Dem issues.

If she wants political relevance and visibility now, she'll not get it outside MAGA venues. 

She'll likely struggle to adapt, reframing some of her "Dem" positions while rivals remind her of them.
The MAGA crowd accepts 180 degree turns, though. That's an incentive.

If she rejects that attention to keep her principles, that will indicate "integrity."
