“Hate to say it, but: if Hillary drops out, Trump loses.”
First, Kaine won’t get the hard-core Hillary voter who like Hillary only because she has a vagina. That bus will run out of gas, quickly.
Second, Hillary will take down the entire world rather than see any other Dem be the nominee. She will NOT drop out - not unless she drops dead (without an assist from the 2nd Amendment).
Third, Trump can easily paint Kaine as someone not particular fit to handle the Presidency in these times. He’ll paint Kaine with all of Hillary’s positions on the issues - and he’d be right.
The DNC is under no obligation to name Kaine as the nominee should Hillary drop out. I doubt they would pick Kaine.
If Clinton dropped out, the Democrats would face a civil war of epic proportions. How could they not give the nomination to Sanders? Would his voters accept Kaine? I think not.
We are coming to a point were a Candidate such as Hillary can’t be removed from a ballot, so if she does have a health event, what do they do? Many States do not allow write-ins. They are gambling it all.....
