Conversation. It isn't likely to happen regardless of how toxic Clinton has become nor will continue to become, so consider it an idle musing. To what effect would various scenarios play out on the electorate, e.g. elevating Kaine to the top of the ticket, swapping in Bernie, etc. Would that messaging irreparably damage the 2016 Dem presidential ticket, and to what effect will any of this have on the downstream Dem picks?
I'm guessing there is a tinge of Barry Goldwater here, and with that, would future progressive tickets ultimately be empowered by a landslide loss in 2016?
Hillary won’t be forced out. It is too late. The dem voters would be so confused they would stay home. The Bernie voters hate the DNC. The Hillary voters would also hate the DNC for robbing them of voting for Hillary.
This would be a total debacle for the dems.
Rats have been known to gnaw off a leg to escape
a trap...
I believe we would see a war between the Clinton clan and the other clans like no one has ever seen before. It would make the cold war look tame.
It’s a very interesting question. My feeling is that Clinton is sooo disliked that almost any replacement would be a net positive for the other team. Just how much of a game changer would depend on who they put in her place. If it were Sanders, I hate to say it, but I think we would be in trouble.
We're actually witnessing a debacle in the making right now.
Hillary is in for the duration. Hopefully that duration doesn’t extend past January 2017.
If they slipped Biden in, he would be coronated by the Left.
:-)
It’s not too late for Hillary to be dumped.
Wiki though would have to do the indictment email in the next day or two. But they want to hold it until after she’s nominated, then destroy her.
Super Delegates could create an open convention. Problem is they’ve been bought by Hillary. So very unlikely.
I thought that might happen before the convention.
But it’s too late now. Bernie and Fauxahontas have sullied themselves in the eyes of the base by latching on to Hildebeast and supporting her.
There are more emails to be released.
Without knowing just how bad these are, it is impossible to predict.
I however can see a point Hillary drops out of the race.
The Democrats may want to cut their loses and “forfeit” this election.
Putting Sanders in there would alienate the Clinton supporters, however, they would be more likely to cast their vote for Sanders. Unlike Sanders supporters who are much less likely to cast their vote for Hillary.
I would think that removing Hillary could do nothing but improve the Democrats chances.
It could very well be that ELIZABETH WARREN could be appointed during the convention.
If Hillary is forced out (for “health reasons”, of course), it would have to be Kaine as her replacement. Or maybe - thinking outside of the box - Michelle Obama. No way would the corrupt Dem establishment consider Sanders or Warren.
Those last two just might upset the establishment apple cart. There’s too much money involved to risk that.
P.S. to my #5. For the record I don’t think that anything short of a felony indictment or diagnosis of a fatal illness would have any chance of knocking the wicked witch out as the Dem nominee.
Neither Clinton in a position of power?
Sweet!
I still think Bernie would suffer a massive loss.
Some of Hillary’s folks would stay home. The independents aren’t going to flock to him more than her IMO.
Trump is the flavor of this election.
He thinks in America First overtones. With as many people out of work, he’s sure to retain traction. Add in his border and immigration policies, and he’s hard to beat. His recognition of Islamic Extremist Terrorism is a move in the right direction. Someone at some point is going to have to admit Islam and Christianity cannot co-exist in the same nation. Trump comes the closest to that, to date.
Go Trump.
If they were to dump her and install someone else at the convention it would be utter chaos!
Hillary Clinton is a national UTI.
