She committed what has always been a fatal flaw to any true Conservative, that of not facing reality, or to adapt to it. With getting a deal through rendered unworkable, her clear direction SHOULD have been to obey the 2016 mandate and walk away from the EU minus a deal.
She absolutely refused to do that.
That the Commons ruled out a 'no deal' exit was ultimately unimportant. The far wider UK-EU default position in law was to crash out at the end of March, if the deal hadn't been ratified by then. She could have just sat back and let it happen, obeying the democratic Will of the People in doing that.
No. Her ego got in the way, and she never stopped trying to sell her dodgy deal (.. made that way by EU intransigence and THEIR dodgy dealing).
It's really that simple, STTAB. Her character is fundamentally flawed, she refused to concede reality, and now, since in truth reality MUST always win out ... she's paid for her blindness to it.
