She trusted Obama - she approved of Merrick Garland as his previous pick. But she didn't trust the Senate to approve him. And then when they proved to her that they couldn't be trusted, she chose to stick around as long as possible and hope that the Senate would be flipped to something a little less extremist ultra-conservative, and a little more moderate and reasonable.
