Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, believes Joe Biden’s death could prove to be the ‘October Surprise’ in the U.S. election, even if the so-called “Clinton diaspora” has to “make it happen.”
Citing an Axios report that quotes a Bill Clinton administration official as saying the “Clinton diaspora is freaking the hell out” about Biden’s reelection prospects, Kassam referred his social media followers to a podcast from Thursday where he raised the possibility of the 81-year-old dying.
“You had a snap election in the UK, and you had a snap election in France,” Kassam said on the podcast. “There’s a globalist theme for 2024. I just would not be surprised—do not put it past them—to watch Joe Biden die on his feet in front of the American public. Maybe not literally, but literally to pass away, a week, two weeks, three weeks before an election, and then, boom, it’s a snap election, it’s a snap candidate.”
In these circumstances, Kassam said, the Democrats could strongly benefit from a “sympathy vote.”
“And the sympathy vote… Go and look at that [Barry] Goldwater blowout if you need reminding of that,” he advised.
“A sympathy vote just can take enough away from the moderates and the independents. Can [bring out] a lot to the people who were going to stay at home, not vote for Biden. Suddenly, you’re in a different situation,” he stressed.
Barry Goldwater was the Republican challenger to Lyndon B. Johnson, who became President after the assassination of John F. Kennedy Jr, in 1964. Goldwater had been expecting to challenge Kennedy, having been the frontrunner for the Republican nomination prior to his 1963 assassination. He faced heavy backlash because he publicly criticized Kennedy before his death, despite their personal friendship.
Johnson carried all but six states.
“Jill would like that. The green will match her Contacts...
..I mean her eyes!”
So the Rats have just doubled their hit list?
“Nobody would believe that Trump supporters would kill him”
Maybe not Trump SUPPORTERS, but the spin will be that Trump contracted it, and everybody would believe that.
What’s wrong with you people? The issue is how to address a hypothetical issue if it presents itself.
If he croaks you say it’s fake news. If it’s real you say it needs to be investigated while people wonder. Tell them RFJ Jr. needs to watch out.
If he’s slowly dying you say he’s faking it. Part of a scheme-it’s October.
Too many of you would put it past them.
FR needs a crank warning.
What's good for the gander is good for the goose.
Better label would be “Mr. September”
It’s certainly within the realm of possibility.

I have no idea what any of that means. Bafflegab
Hi.
Alamo Girl kept a tab on every death (whatever the cause) associated with the Clinton’s. Suicide, traffic accident, dead bodies on train tracks etc. I believe before she passed there were 128.
Give or take 10.

Beware the stairs, Brandon.
If this were to happen, I think the more likely play by the Democrats would be to demand a “do-over” of the election. You know, democracy and all that. All the usual suspects - Raskin, Schiff, Pelosi, Schumer, etc. - will demagogue over how Trump’s win is illegitimate because the people were deprived of an alternative candidate, etc. It won’t matter that Trump is legally elected or that the outcome was one of their own making. After all, the first rule of the Democrats is that rules are made to be broken.
And then the Antifa riots, or worse, will start. President Kamala will be instructed by the bureaucratic state, to declare martial law. The Presidential transition of power will be suspended until “the crisis” (manufactured though it may be) can be sorted out and new elections held. I hope I’m wrong, but I fear I’m not.
It would only take a normal flight of stairs going up to Air Force 1.
Hillary as VP is a death sentence for POTUS.
In Orlando the county tax collector died of old age, three weeks before Election Day in 2012, and was re-elected anyway.
That at least makes sense, no one around to collect taxes. :^)
