Rasmussen: Dems want Sanders running if Clinton drops out

If Hillary Clinton were forced to leave the presidential race due to health reasons, Democrats would want Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) to replace her as the party’s nominee, a new Rasmussen poll finds.

Forty-eight percent of likely Democratic voters backed Sanders in that scenario, according to the poll released Friday.

Twenty-two percent picked Vice President Biden, with 14 percent saying Clinton’s running mate Tim Kaine, and 9 percent choosing someone else.

Questions about Clinton’s health intensified when she suffered a mishap in public Sunday, stumbling and struggling to enter a van outside a Sept. 11 memorial in New York City.

After the incident, her campaign revealed that she had been diagnosed with pneumonia two days earlier. Clinton came off the campaign trail for several days while she recovered.

It doesn’t matter what the Democrat rank-and-file want. It only matters what the Democrat bosses want. And the bosses don’t want Bernie.

Here's the thing. If the power brokers at the Democrat want to replace Hillary, they won't pick Bernie. After all, he has already left the Democrat party. But, the voters do want him. They really are between a rock and a steel bollard.

Their worse fear is the thought of her hanging on while heading downhill.

Does this mean Bernie will have to give back his new home and air plane?

She is taking them all down with her, and will be vindictive with those in her party who questioned her in public forums, helping cement her doom.

I think it’s best to blame liberals for Hillary’s downfall, anyway.

Exactly right, Bernie will not be the replacement if needed.

illary would have to be dead or comatose for her not to continue.
This is what she has put up with her rapist-philandering husband all these years for.

The prize is so close ahe can smell it.... or maybe that’s her Depends.

These are the people Hillary's SS detail should fear...not ‘the deplorables’.

That 48% can forget it. The democratics will never again nominate a white male for President. At least not in my lifetime.

Too bad Bernie, Citizen Kaine and Uncle Bill do not approve and Mark Cuban will die if he’s stopped from jumping in.

That’s hilarious. When some of us suggested the lefties putting Bernout back in the game it was poo-poo’d as a virtual impossibility. That the desire is 2-1 to Slow Joe doesn’t surprise me a bit.

The left doesn’t know what it wants - but it knows it doesn’t want the Hildebeast.

She is taking them all down with her...

Should we expect a Monday morning document dump of all those FBI files she purloined 20+ years ago?

Or will she invite them all for a plane ride and a repeat of Ron Brown?

Were the FBI files of Republicans only or did they include files of Democrats? I thought they were supposedly of Republicans being considered for appointments by Bill Clinton.

Unfortunately for Hillary, many of the current politicians entered politics after 1993 so may not have had an FBI file. But perhaps Comey sends over files as requested.

It’s a good thing this replacement of Hillary controversy is allowed to foment. It means the DNC will reject Bernie and dash the hopes of the millennials all over again.

They want sanders? So half the demo rat party does not want a demo rat to be their candidate this year. Given Hillary, this makes perfect sense.
