FYI, the political threads during the American election tended to be very fast moving and there was a new thread every day - so there was plenty of discussion of her resignation, but it was mostly done before the thread you were in.

I recall looking around at the time but didn't see anything. The most recent thread was already done when it happened, and then the convention one was opened with pretty much no mention of it at all. Even now I can't find any substantial discussion of it.[1] It seemed to happen between threads and then the topic was just strangely ignored. I just can't imagine it would be so quiet if the RNC chair had resigned and the R convention was underway. At the time it felt like it came under the same bucket as the mod warning at the top of the convention thread about not "re-litigating the primaries" ... don't talk about it!
