COKIE ROBERTS: DNC 'nervously beginning to whisper about trying to have' Hillary 'step aside'
The American Mirror ^ | 9/12/2016 | Kyle Olson

Posted on 09/12/2016 7:15:34 AM PDT by Kyle Olson

Is the Democratic National Committee looking into the possibility that Hillary Clinton will step aside? Or perhaps even forcing her to?

Cokie Roberts said on NPR's Morning Edition on Monday that Democrats are "angry at the lack of transparency" after Clinton's collapse on a New York City street on Sunday.

"It was hours after the pneumonia diagnosis was revealed after seeing this incredibly damaging video of her being helped and stumbling into a van," Roberts said.

"Look, there's a reason why the campaign's not transparent, obviously, it gives Trump ammunition and he's been setting her up for this for months.

"Back in January, he started saying she didn't have the strength and stamina to be president and he knew at some point that she, like all candidates, would get exhausted," Roberts said.

"But the fact that it comes now, when the polls are tightening, and Democrats were already saying that Hillary was the only candidate who could not beat Trump. And it's taking her off of the campaign trail, canceling her trip to California today.

"It has them very nervously beginning to whisper about trying to have her step aside and finding another candidate," Roberts said.

Good comment. Lot’s of groupthink in the pundit class.

I wish people would stop saying this. Hillary could kill a baby and dog live on TV and end up on life-support a month before the election, and she would still gather at least 200 EVs. There are that many screwed up states, including the one I live in (California).
______________

If you think Hillary is going to win at this point you are seriously delusional.

She is done and finished.

She might win a few states, but Trump has this in the bag. That does not mean that Trump won’t need to eviscerate her and drive a stake in her heart a la Dracula, but as of this instant she has no hope of winning.

And yes! It will be a landslide.

Since much of the democrat support comes from the Republican Establishment this year, they should probably reach out and replace Hillary with Jeb Bush.

“She is done and finished.”

Just like Obama in 2012.

A story appeared yesterday similar to what now is being outed by Roberts. It was cast aside by many as being not worthy of any credence. Now that this has been given mainstream credence the issue appears obvious. If she dies campaigning or goes comatose the MSM and the enablers will be exposed as having abetted in her physical demise all in the name of power. Not good for business. This is why WApost for the first time stated her health has become an issue. So I’m sure the Demo powers are indeed in panic mode. The perception of rag doll Hillary being dragged into a van by enablers has hit a political nerve.

actually, a generic Dem already has at least 256 EV’s locked up,(those believing PA or WI could flip are dreaming) so Hilary Clinton could go into hospice care and it would make no difference; in fact, it would probably ensure a Dem win...

Why? Insulting and showing comtempt for half of American voters and passing out due to serious health issues that you have been hiding is no cause for worry.

‘Illary’s got something on everyone who might approach her to step down. And, she’s got the will to use it. Asking Ivan the Terrible to step down won’t work. If they want to get rid of her they will either have to pray she expires or they will have to arrange it.

She should just get in a wheel chair and go for the FDR strategy. Besides, that sort of tactic worked in the Lazio debate, sans chair of course, but same audience manipulation tactic.

40% are going to vote for the democrat even if the ballot was blank. I’ll be content with anything that puts Trump in and the democrat out.

However, Hillary would much rather die than step aside. It is not in her nature to be close to power and not grab it!

I guarantee you that this is a crisis that Obama will take advantage of.

I see his wife as Hillary’s replacement.
