Well, no, actually. She went a bit further than that. Stating the fact would be strange in and of itself, but what she did was state the fact in connection with her continuing to run. The implication there is that she is continuing to run because she considers such a thing a possibility and, as we can assume that she wants to win, that she's hoping for it.

I'm not surprised by a politician be selfish and/or callous. I am surprised that people are attempting to defend this.
