Well, Claire accepted the job and has already ceded to pressure on her first policy of no party. And based on Liz's suggestions, I strongly suspect her fallback of small party is going to go out the window too.

I don't like to immediately jump on newest comics to point out a problem, as sometimes it becomes apparent that Jeph might be intentionally creating it to resolve later. I remember originally this thread was posting that Jeph was cluelessly making Moray a terrible interviewer, when it is now clear he wanted her to be read as incompetent.

That being said, I'm certainly not optimistic that the narrative arc of Claire whipping Cubetown into shape is presaged well at all by this immediate backing down and the promise of wacky chaos.
