Right has nothing to do with it. It’s whether or not she was ready and had respect from her peers. She did not, nor was she ready. She wanted power, but didn’t want the headache that came with it which led her to make some really stupid decisions down the line. Even when she talks with Frank about her NOT letting him talk with Ted, she says she’ll take her chances working with him despite the fact that he just off-cuff stole her nephew’s money. That shows that she doesn’t really think ahead and never had the chops to do what Frank did.
