Methinks that’s why her VP is a largely unknown (no apparent baggage) with relatively right-leaning views (can siphon some of Trump’s support). If she drops out, he has a viable chance of winning by getting the sympathy vote _and_ the “hate both candidates” vote.

Hate to say it, but: if Hillary drops out, Trump loses.

Just drag her to the end...no replacement

Does it automatically become Kaine? A lot of people might not have the reservations about him that they do about Hillary, but he is an unknown. To ‘Toricelli’ Trump, they might need a Lautenberg, someone with name recognition.

There may be truth to that.

Last week Michael Medved said the curious meme of this election is that of all democrats, Hillary is the one that would have the most difficult time beating Trump, and of all Republicans, Trump is the one that would have the most difficult time beating Hillary.

If either one quits, and is replaced by another from their party, the other loses.

This is one thing about this election I agree with Medved on.

Disagree.

First, Kaine won’t get the hard-core Hillary voter who like Hillary only because she has a vagina. That bus will run out of gas, quickly.

Second, Hillary will take down the entire world rather than see any other Dem be the nominee. She will NOT drop out - not unless she drops dead (without an assist from the 2nd Amendment).

Third, Trump can easily paint Kaine as someone not particular fit to handle the Presidency in these times. He’ll paint Kaine with all of Hillary’s positions on the issues - and he’d be right.

WHAAAAAT!??!!?

Who are you trying to kid? Kaine? "relatively right-leaning views"? It's a little early in the day for booze FRiend, in 2008 Tim Kaine was under consideration as Barky's VP, and he told the VP selection team "If I were Senator Obama, I would not pick me, because we're TOO MUCH ALIKE (emphasis mine), I agree with him on virtually everything."

My perception at this point is that Hillary Clinton doesn't make it to November 8th, for health or criminal reasons, and they will indeed trot out Tim Kaine to take her place (probably with Elizabeth Warren as VP), but there will be NOTHING 'right-leaning' about that ticket.

That’s like saying without Cankles Trump’s ideas are no longer appealing. Pure bovine droppings.

Vote Trump 2016
