She will let the world know her final decision at the end of the week-long Columbus Day recess.

She will probably end up retiring on the 2026 elections.

Considering the odds she'll be serving in the minority after 2020, and better than even odds with a Democratic president, staying in D.C. can't be that appealing.

It's probably the constant hounding by conservatives that's straining her.

The GOP should not be driving the moderate wing away... they are in danger.

I tried telling that to some people in the Ffx GOP years ago. I was called a RINO. The GOP has gone off the rails. Better to let it be taken over by the clowns and let it shrink then let it have a chance to pass harmful legislation with a bigger tent.

It's okay to wish she were in your party, buddy, but she's not.

The conservative wing that likes to refer to moderate Republicans as RINOs were much, much more successful in getting rid of moderates in 2010 than they were in 2014. I have my doubts whether those Tea-Party types are still effective in the GOP organization.

No Democrat would've voted DeVos out of committee.

I think she'll forego a gubernatorial run and I'd also be willing to bet she doesn't run for reelection to the Senate in 2020.

This is why I don't see why so many Democrats want her to run for Governor.

Why is she deciding now anyway? She can wait until 2019 to make up her mind.

If she had decided to run for governor in 2018, she would have needed to get started fairly soon.
