I don't think she is daft enough to 'fall into that trap'. I believe she is just preparing the ground where Scotland and it's interests as a progressive, outward and non-insular country are gonna be threatened/compromised by a right-wing Conservative govt at some stage of the abortive Brexit negotiations and that's where the 'fun' will really begin and Nicola will firmly drive home to many 'doubters' within the Scottish population that they were bl#### well wrong. I'd say that's the plan and It's a case of putting good money on a Tory govt botch up of the highest order, another one because they are good at botch ups esp on a losing hand called Brexit!! And this manoeuvre is not being fully orchestrated by Nicola anyway as she'll be expertly advised by a solid team of highly qualified people  who have been analysing all the implications of Brexit on the Scottish economy and all it's functions + the impact on the UK operations. IMO the SNP has not been static since that shock Brexit vote and they've been 'doing their homework' for quite a while!!
