Hillary is not liked by many voters, let along by many Democrat voters and won't have the same election turnout that Obama had in the 2012 election. She is slipping away in the polls and momentum appears to be on Trump's side. If for some reason Hillary isn't the nominee; then it's highly plausible that the Democrats will select someone that's more likable to the base and that may certainly energize peole, even those that don't like Hillary and are considering voting for Trump but may be swayed to go back to vote for Democrat ticket. Joe Biden is one that while he says and does stupid things, he gets a pass by many as 'joe being joe' and is considered just a 'good' guy. There may be other candidates out there too that may have the same effect on the race and change momentum. Trump may still win despite a change in nominee but there is a risk. Agree?
Up until the convention....they could have replaced her. By mid-August, ballots were being printed and things falling place for state elections. Even if she passed away today....the ballots would still likely list her name in most states.
