I don't think she was meant as a glass cliff candidate. This wasn't an election that they knew they were going to lose. I think they thought she was their best hope at that late stage in the election cycle. Maybe they were right, and there weren't any better candidates who had a chance given how little time there was. Maybe not. But, this isn't like the typical case like say the 1984 election where Walter Mondale was sent out to compete with an extremely popular Ronald Reagan.
