Best outcome is for 'healthy enough' Hillary to be the nominee and lose to Trump on Nov 8

Posted on 09/11/2016 6:11:43 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

Hillary is not liked by many voters, let along by many Democrat voters and won't have the same election turnout that Obama had in the 2012 election. She is slipping away in the polls and momentum appears to be on Trump's side. If for some reason Hillary isn't the nominee; then it's highly plausible that the Democrats will select someone that's more likable to the base and that may certainly energize peole, even those that don't like Hillary and are considering voting for Trump but may be swayed to go back to vote for Democrat ticket. Joe Biden is one that while he says and does stupid things, he gets a pass by many as 'joe being joe' and is considered just a 'good' guy. There may be other candidates out there too that may have the same effect on the race and change momentum. Trump may still win despite a change in nominee but there is a risk. Agree?

Obama doesn’t like Hillary but he doesn’t want Trump to come in and reverse all of his policies. How much of a margin does Trump need to make it technically impossible for Jeh Johnson to deliver the election to the Democrats?

This could be interesting in ways I don’t want to speculate on until later.

Trump needs to win by a big enough margin that they can’t cheat ... which could be a big number considering ... The DHS secretary is going to insuinate itself in ‘the general election’.

Gerald Ford set the precedent. When Ford pardoned Nixon, he established that the President can pardon someone for any and all crimes, including those crimes that have not yet been discovered.

If Hillary steps aside and Biden gets elected, Obama might even deign to pardon her himself, on his last day in office.

Their real Democrat pollers have to be telling them that Trump is going to beat Hillary because most people hate her at this point. I would not be surprised if the real powers behind the throne say to pull her and blame it on her health conditions and then replace her with someone who doesn’t have the same negatives and theoretically can beat Trump.

And where was Bill?


Bill waved goodbye and immediately took a double dose of Viagra. He was occupied while she was in NYC.

FLASHBACK:

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2008/09/dead_by_election_day.html

Vice-presidential candidates Sarah Palin and Joe Biden will face off in their first and only debate this Thursday in St. Louis, Mo. Quite a few Explainer readers have asked what would happen if one of the presidential candidates were to die or become otherwise incapacitated before Election Day: Would Palin or Biden assume the nomination?

Not necessarily. Each party has its own protocol for this scenario, but in neither case does the running mate automatically take over the ticket. If John McCain were to die before the election, the rules of the Republican Party authorize the Republican National Committee to fill the vacancy, either by reconvening a national convention or by having RNC state representatives vote. The new nominee must receive a majority vote to officially become the party candidate. If Barack Obama were to die before the election, the Democratic Party’s charter and bylaws state that responsibility for filling that vacancy would fall to the Democratic National Committee, but the rules do not specify how exactly the DNC would go about doing that. (Congress could also pass a special statute and push back Election Day, giving the dead candidate’s party time to regroup.)

Hillary is in charge. She’s a sick woman, but she’s not leaving a dollar on the table.

This is all about Hillary.

The MSM will make no serious inquiries or investigations into the health of Hillary Clinton. Their open bias and dereliction of their duty to honestly inform the American people is a permanent stain on their reputation and trustworthiness. Yet it is becoming increasingly apparent to the American people that Clinton simply is not fit to be President. It is beyond apparent to Obama, his commissars and high ranking Democrats who have access to internal polling data. Obama no doubt bitterly regrets that despite the Clinton’s blackmail, he did not have her indicted and forced out. The problem is that if he had done that in July or before the convention, the unelectable socialist Sanders would have been the default candidate. She would have to be on her death bed to voluntarily leave. Nevertheless her deteriorating health, soon to be impossible to hide, may force her out. Biden could yet step in and be a formidable opponent.

It’s the opposite, she’s not going anywhere because she’s so close to so much more money.

She has very expensive tastes - and envies the Super Rich.

Hillary isn’t going anywhere, if they have to wheel her in.

“The MSM has nobody to blame but themselves. They chose to bury their head in the sand.”

I agree. The media has known about this for a long time and have hidden it. There is hardly any journalism left. Maybe 1 out of a 100.

The most important thing is to make sure this is labeled as another Hillary lie. Don’t allow sympathy. This is a greedy lady who is lying to everyone and making the people around her repeat her lie just so she can be president. Her greed for power is so strong that she is using her last breath to win.

However she is gradually being reduced to a Prince type character. She will steady be forced to take ever increasing amounts of dopamine until she is only coherent a few hours a day.

This is just like predicted would happen. She was just in it to kill time for someone to enter as the savior of the DNC and save them. To late to for anyone to give a real challenge and no time to go after the nominee.

Electoral college - they didn’t really vote for Hilary; they voted for electors who would vote for Hilary.

“More LIES. Overheating at first. Now pneumonia. They just can’t be honest.”

Do not forget “stumbled on the curb”. Another lie.

That is a good question. Do I see a lawsuit for the votes cast for Hillary to go to Biden?
