That's likely also what led them to waiting on Hillary for 2016. She was originally going to be elected in 2008, but they switched to Obama. They probably realized that the timing would be off if she was elected then and that was likely one reason they decided to push her back to 2016. Since she and Obama are only puppets I doubt even they knew the true plans of the DS. They were just happy to dance along to their master's whims. Hillary in 2016 would fall perfectly in that 2017/2018 box.
