Cokie Roberts, David Shuster: Dems nervous, looking at replacements

Hmmmmm...... She's running not just for President, but for self-preservation

Before we get started, please take a moment to ingest the biggest grain of salt you can find. We’re about to enter the realm of abject speculation. However, rumblings we first heard 10 days ago have grown louder, so we’ll do our best to break the rumors down.

Back at the beginning of the month, CBS News reporter Hannah Chanpong (who’s currently embedded with the Clinton campaign) allegedly tweeted - and deleted - the following:

I like that Trump wished her to get well and nothing more. The DEMs would love for Trump to say he wants Hillary out of the race. Just don’t say it.

Oh, so the new line is she fainted? I saw her lock up in a seizure so horrifying that she had to be spirited away in her rolling ICU with her shoe still in the street - as if she had been hit by a truck. Notice the Praetorian Guard surround her and block all camera angles!

We live in Yuri Andropov's Soviet era USSR.

When Bubba was in the White House, with the media’s help, he would run rings around the GOP. The lefties were bragging about how smart they all were and they would defend the Clintons with every new allegation from Whitewater to Charlie Trie to Monica Lewinsky. I remember telling my lefty friends that what goes around comes around, and that the Clintons were gonna end up hurting the Dems. It’s happening now. They want Hillary off the ticket but that ain’t happening. She and Bill have the goods on people in their own party, and if they try to pry her from the top spot she and Bill will unload on all of them assuring mutual destruction. The Dems made a deal with the devil and now it’s gonna blow up in all their faces. They’re stuck with her.

Hillary's official response:

“I don’t feel no ways tahhrred. I come too far from where I started from. Nobody told me that the road would be easy.”

I don’t think this will happen. Hillary’s old nag females voters would riot.
Especially being pushed out by a man (Biden).

However, the rumor may have a side effect.
It could slow Hillary’s fundraising as donors might be hesitant to donate.

The Clintons are in a pickle. Biden, Warren or whomever, are not acceptable choices, because they would not continue the pay-for-play scam run though the Clinton Foundation. It’s all about the money, and what the Clintons need is someone who will owe nothing to anyone but them if Hillary is going to be replaced. That’s why I assume they picked Kaine as their VP. None of the other choices, and especially Biden who is aligned with Obama, fit that description.

I don’t think the Dhimmi’crats could take Hillary off the ballot. In many states the ballot is already finalized and by law can not be changed.

Hillary could withdraw from the race and still be on the ballot and the new Dhimmi’crat challenger would not be on the ballot would have to be a write in candidate.

It would almost guarantee a Republican president.

I think the Dhimmi’crats would rather have a dead Hillary on the ballot than have that happen. At least with a dead Hillary winning the election the Electoral College might elect a Dhimmy’crat.

“take Hillary off the ballot”

On Fox&Friends, it was discussed .. somebody with knowledge of these rules stated that it wouldn’t be impossible, because many states have not even started printing their ballots.

The only thing I thought of .. the states that have “early voting” might be the only ones who could not remove her, or add in someone else.

Remember, these are 50 different states .. most of whom all have a different set of election laws.

My opinion; too late. Huma must have known that Hillary was exhibiting Parkinson’s Disease when she was the SoS (owing to the FACT that Hillary was having staff at the State Dept research a drug for Parkinson’s). If that’s so, then this has been a sham; a scam; and a run-around from the get-go.

And .. maybe the real goal was to have Huma as Hillary’s surrogate President ..???????

I imagine if Hillary were to actually die in October the Democrat states would pull out all the stops to change their laws and spend millions of dollars to change the ballots to put another Dhimmy’crat on the ballot.

One thing you can say for Dhimmy’crats is that they don’t let a little thing like the law get in the way of their having their way.

Well .. if only the Dems changed their ballots; you might end up with a “contested” election. That would not be good for anybody.

If you had people who voted for Hillary .. believing they would be electing the Dem candidate - whoever it was (and the Dems have some voters who might believe that), it would definitely be a “contested” election.
