What happens if Clinton drops out?
Fox News ^ | September 13, 2016 | Adam Shaw

Whether an October surprise may have come a month early, it’s too soon to say.

But Hillary Clinton’s weekend health scare already has started to stir speculation about whether Democratic officials should be discussing the possibility of a Plan B, in case they need to hastily arrange for a replacement nominee.

Which raises a basic question: How does that work?

Democratic Party bylaws say the DNC has the power to fill “vacancies in the nominations for the office of the president and vice president” when the national convention is not in session.

Under party rules, the DNC chair – currently Donna Brazile – could call a special meeting, and fill the vacancy by a majority vote of those present.

Bring her on then - there's 55 days left to hear all her policy proposals- the works.

It would be the biggest electoral massacre in history

Not so, active union members will not vote in majority for her. Billery is the most beatable candidate in the Democrat party.

Who was that close friend? Was it Goldwater, who later called Nixon the most dishonest man he had ever met?

I don’t know if Barry Goldwater was really a “close friend” of Richard Nixon...but he was someone so respected in the party that Nixon could not dismiss what he had to say.

Conventional history is that it was not a close friend, but rather it was Barry Goldwater, House Republican Leader John Rhodes and Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott, who told Nixon he didn’t have the requisite political support.

Amazing. Barry Goldwater and Lyndon Johnson were both in the Senate at the same time, and Goldwater never met LBJ?

There was a report this morning that Bill Clinton is already talking to his lawyers about how to prevent the DNC from removing Hillary from the ticket.

Ed Klein was on "Fox & Friends" and had a number of interesting things to say about Hillary's health and other matters. He said Bill tried to persuade Hillary not to go to the 9/11 memorial, offering to go in her place, because he is well aware of how serious her health issues are. He has been trying to get her to get a full physical but she refuses.

The DNC and the media think Michelle Obama is wildly popular with the American people...so they may think she could win the election. There was a recent poll that claimed that Obama has 58% approval, so they may expect the voters to vote for a third term for the Obamas.

Michelle Lurleen Obama. But unlike George Wallace being Lurleen Wallace's #1 advisor, Barry would be her #2 advisor, after Valerie Jarrett.

How is that possible? She has no government or political background whatsoever.

Just like her husband.

Michelle Obama. You heard it here first.

I think Mooch would be a formidable last minute replacement.

However, the lying criminal is not going to leave the race easily. They are going to run a weekend at Bernie’s campaign for her so she is rarely seen or heard from in person. I don’t know how they are going to rig the debates, though.

I don’t believe early voting has started yet, but ballots have been printed up in some states. Minnesota and Vermont start earliest, I think, in about a week.

If it starts looking more like they’re going to replace her, I’ll do early voting.

If they do, I will file a federal lawsuit to block it as I have already voted and my vote will no longer have the valid standing. Their illegal act has denied me my right to vote.

You have no right to vote for president at all. President is selected by Electoral College, whose members are determined by state legislatures. States use popular vote for PR and convenience. You night have a state court case depending on your state laws.
