Biden should REPLACE Kamala Harris on the ballot with Hillary Clinton, Washington Post columnist claims
Daily Mail ^

Posted on 06/18/2024 9:57:56 PM PDT by algore

Joe Biden is being encouraged to replace Kamala Harris with a blast from the past to aid his floundering chances at re-election.

Biden, who has struggled in the polls nationally and in key swing states, has left Democrats wondering if major change is needed to beat Donald Trump

Questions and doubts exist over the health and ability to perform the job of Biden, at 81

Harris - the first female and first black vice president in American history - has also struggled, with poll numbers saying a majority of Americans don't think she would be a good president.

Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Kathleen Parker wrote Tuesday that Democrats should look to their recent past for a new VP.

In her piece, she wondered why no one has floated Hillary Clinton as a potential running mate.

Clinton, of course, served as First Lady, Secretary of State and a United States Senator before losing to Donald Trump in 2016.

Parker argues that Harris lacks 'competency' which deters voters who see Biden's 'steady decline over the years' and that Clinton could provide reassurance, despite being 76 years old herself.

'If Biden needs to step down, even those who didn't vote for Clinton would have confidence in her ability to keep the country on track,'

She also believes that Clinton's 2016 loss - which she's spent the last eight years playing the blame game over - still rankles her and leaves her with unfinished business.

'At 76, she might want no part of it, but it's hard to retire when you feel your job isn't done,' she wrote, citing Clinton endorsing a candidate in a New York Congressional district to unseat 'Squad' member Jamaal Bowman.

Parker, a Pulitzer Prize winner, called it 'impossible to ignore' Biden's ''stumbles, his search for words, his occasional blank stare.'

Secret Service protection isn’t like the old days. It is worthless.

Nothing can stop Hillary except Superman.

If that happens, in an instant she must be charged with over 30,000 felonies! Just because comey recommended she not be charged doesn't mean she can't be arrested and jailed until her trial date. It was a true, “Insurrection” and act of treason.

Hahaha...not only are these people delusional, they miss the fact that Hillary would have to be NUTS to do this. No way she is interested. She couldn’t win when she was running for POTUS, now she’s supposed to be interested as VP running with BIDEN????

It’s just another sure-fire way to be another loser, again.

It should be pretty clear that Clinton is not wanted as president.

So the plot is to return the governance of America to the Clintons and the Bushes. Common people are starting to see through the facade of the oligarchy.

The racial optics of it would cause a lot of issues I think? The more liberal parts of the RAT party are not fond of Hillary.

This would definitely boost Joe with the important Angry Divorced Older White Women demographic.

You betcha, Kathleen...on track to a tragic failure of the world's best hope for comfortable, happy and healthy lives.

Two elders stumbling and screeching at us…who wouldn’t want that? Maybe Trump can nominate Grassley…to round out the pack!

..no doubt - Hillary is behind this story..

And should it happen, Joe will undoubtedly befall some sort of “calamity” within days of his “re-election”…

And Jill will wind up either VERY rich or room temperature..

Yes, racial optics would be an issue but I think that Clinton would be the one non-person of color that he could substitute without too much issue.

Let’s break this down (queue Chris Pratt as “Starlord” facing “Ronan” in “Guardians of the Galaxy”)

2) ANY Veep replacement must be confirmed by BOTH houses. The GOP will not confirm Cankles. Period. End of story. Johnson, however, might fake it and drag the replacement hearings out for over a month, COMPLETELY SABOTAGING the DNC ticket.

3) Remember my substack from two days ago: ballots are done by counties, and they are on a ticking clock. ANY changes must be done no later than mid-August to accommodate ballot printing, sending to candidates to proof, return, new total ballot printing, sending out by Oct. 7 for early/absentee voters. That clock cannot be changed.

2) If there is any ‘swap out” after Oct. 7, ANY ballots coming back with either Biden’s or Harris’s name on them-—IF they are not actually the candidates WILL NOT BE COUNTED. This will cost the DemoKKKrats 30% of their total vote and give Trump states such as Kollyfornia (where he lost by under 30) New York (where currently he is within single digits) not to mention ME, NM, VA, CO, MN, OR, WA, and others where Trump is only trailing by low double digits.

3) BUT THERE IS ANOTHER CLOCK: The DNC, in order to actually have ANYONE on the top of the ticket, must nominate them before AUGUST 7!!!!!!! Otherwise, they’d lose OH, cause a massive ripple there that would cost them a senate seat & probably a house seat, and reduce overall turnout by as much as 1 million. That’s why they announced they would nominate Rutabaga “virtually” before Aug. 7.

Your #2 is inaccurate.

In the event that one of the named candidates is not around to be elected, the state recognize the party affiliation. So, you would be voting for the party nominee, not the ineligible candidate.

JFK came up with the brilliant idea of replacing his VP when he ran for a second term.

His VP had another plan.

Lol.
