Cokie Roberts: Dems ‘Nervously Beginning to Whisper’ About Hillary Replacement; Floats Biden...
Breitbart.com ^ | 12 Sep 2016 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 09/12/2016 6:59:14 AM PDT by Rockitz

Monday on NPR’s “Morning Edition,” ABC political commentator Cokie Roberts offered her thoughts on the apparent health issues regarding Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and the how the party could be looking to handle things if a replacement is needed for Clinton.

According to Roberts, there was already conversation within the party about such a possibility.

“The fact that it comes now when the polls are tightening and Democrats are already saying that Hillary was the only candidate who could not beat Trump and it is taking her off of the campaign trail, canceling her trip to California – it has them very nervously beginning to whisper about having her step aside and finding another candidate.”

When asked if that really could happen, Roberts called it “unlikely to be a real thing,” but floated the name of Vice President Joe Biden as a possible replacement.

I would disagree only to this point: if she were to refuse or otherwise drop out of the debates for anything suspected of being a health issue, then that point would suddenly become the number one issue in the election... and of course, it’s now trending that way regardless.

If things get that far, then they’re toast.

They might also push Biden and have Hillary run as VP. Kaine would be out of luck.

Maybe instead of slow-Joe, they’d try and stick Moochelle in there, they’d still get the ding-bat and vagina vote.

“The lawsuits would tie up the election for a century”

And who exactly would be the aggrieved party filing the lawsuits? Trump? He will likely win the election.

They can make all the changes they want and deal with the lawsuits after the election. The loser can always sue for any reason.

I never said all Bernie supporters wouldn’t vote Biden, I said many will vocally fight tooth and nail... and like Hillary many will just sit it out. The problem isn’t election day so much as all the days between now and election day if Bernie supporters are showing up at rally’s and protesting and causing scenes and screaming and kicking.. it doesn’t help Biden it hurts him.

If the Dems are openly having a civil war 6 weeks from the election, its not good no matter who the nominee is.

Hillary had 2 giant death knells over the weekend, the DEPLORABLE comment sealed her fate... she basically went over the top.. and even the press itself called her on it... the only reason that dropped off the front page was her complete collapse on sunday....

Either of these events ensured her loss was going to be big... together she is beyond done.

They are going to try DESPERATELY to put the cat back into the bag on her health.. but the blood is in the water.... the feeding frenzy is under way.

The oh she was just overheated... and when that didn’t fly.. oh she has pneumonia... and now the reports everyone in the office has it... its laughable... She’s done. She won’t be replaced, unless she dies or goes into a coma... THe times tied their wagon to this glue factory horse... and they are going to ride her all the way down.

Trump, disaffected Dems (yes, there will be a lot), Republicans who might have been cheated out of votes (think, for ex., of GOP senators who now are leading-—say, Rubes, Toomey, Burr but who then might lose votes as the campaign goes along. In other words, they have an early vote lead, now would lose that); state AGs challenging the legality of changing state election laws-—it would be an attorney’s dream.

Hillary is paying the price for her methods...which is to say her closed system of secrecy and corruption.

She’s kept her entire party in the dark, and they’ve followed her along like the stupid sheep they are. She’s got the money, she’s got the balls and ruthlessness of Stalin...so they just follow along like the good takers they are.

And now they know nothing and are afraid for their phoney-baloney jobs and their phoney-baloney wealth that they’ve stolen from the people.

And now she has to calm them down when they are frightened. And she’s not capable of it any more.

Do we know she has pneumonia? Hasn’t everything been lies so far?

She absolutely, positively does not have pneumonia. Anything this cabal says, especially in a moment of panic (i.e. getting caught) is inherently a lie. So we can rule out pneumonia.

What legal means at this point can they use to replace her? How could Biden get on the ballots in time?

If they do this, and pick someone other than Sanders, the Rat will lose in a major way.

Depends what kind of pneumonia it is. Even the common viral and bacterial pneumonia can be fatal, especially for the very young or old, and she's what, late sixties now?

They can’t make her go. She would have to do it willingly and she won’t.

There is one other way the DNC would be permitted to replace the Wicked Witch: her death. Don't put it past the DNC.

IF and that’s a big if, this old mare does make it to the debates and has a seizure, hacking fit, can’t stand or just zones out, she will indeed be toast.

I would imagine this has her handlers and staff and even the Beast herself very apprehensive and nervous. Hopefully that is weighing on Hillary’s mind every minute of the day.
