The hard landing

The NYTimes has an article looking at the environment of a Hillary Clinton return to the Senate.

She'll return as a profile major player, if for no other reason than she now has a giant 50 state fundraising list,

But talk outside the Senate of Mrs. Clinton becoming majority leader is considered truly fanciful within the Senate, where it has also provoked unspoken irritation at the image of Democrats waiting for Mrs. Clinton to swoop in off the campaign to guide her waiting colleagues.

Also, in a WaPo piece on Clinton's quest for a popular vote "win,"

A decision about the fate of delegates from Michigan and Florida could come Saturday, when the Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee is scheduled to meet. If either side is dissatisfied with the outcome, the matter will move on to another subcommittee and could take until the end of June to resolve.

That next pertinent subcommittee meeting would be the Credentials Committee on June 29, although I doubt superdelegates, party members, etc would extend that level of patience.

The mumblings from the party folks, even those sympathetic towards Clinton, seem to be pointing to "some kind of sanction" against Fla and Michigan.
