Dick Morris: Hillary Could Be Replaced by Biden
Newsmax ^ | 9/11/2016 | Dick Morris

Posted on 09/11/2016 6:36:20 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Hillary would not have left the 9/11 ceremony unless she absolutely had to. She has always made 9/11 her signature issue and, amid concerns about her health, she would not have left unless she had no alternative.

As she got into her car, she appeared to faint, losing a shoe as she was virtually carried into the car.

She won't withdraw unless he has to. But anxious Democrats will be so worried if she fails to be able to campaign and her health escalates as an issue that they might bring unbearable pressure on her to step aside.

If that happened, the Party rules state that the Democratic National Committee -- two from each state -- would be empowered to nominate a new presidential candidate. Tim Kaine would have no special claim on the nomination and, if there were a switch in the presidential nominee, would remain as the VP candidate.

Democrats are getting more and more nervous about Hillary's campaign now that she has blown her August lead and settled into a tie with Trump. If she is sidelined for much of the campaign, their worry is likely to reach a crescendo.

In any event Hillary will now be forced to release her medical records, a step she has heretofore resisted and perhaps submit to a new examination.

Be careful what you wish for. Biden would be a lot harder to beat than Hillary.

Once she’s elected the devil will come calling.

Seriously, why would anyone so close to death give a damn about getting elected to anything?

Problem is early voting in many States.

Your Question tells you what owns her.

If she loses, expect hell to pay.

He had a legal claim that he legitimately won that nomination (and he did), but threats against his family turned into Hillary’s biggest fan.

It's looking more and more like Dick's got this one right.

Whatever Hillary has, or has her, or how, or what might be its cause, whether man-made, like they did in Ukraine, or natural, unnatural or even supernatural, it's interesting to speculate about, but...

While she might "win" the election and be the first woman president, her ego's reward and place in the history books for all she thinks she's had to put up with, it's looking like she won't be given much time to enjoy it.

With lots of bodies and all the rest she's stashed away in her closets, there's bound to be lots of karma hot on her heels...and she runs for POTUS???

What a dumbass. I almost can't help but feel sorry for her.

Just like I'm sure her party's voters will when the time is right for a medical crisis they won't let go to waste. Surprise, surprise!

Agreed—a last minute Biden slip-in could also simply be what they force if Trump gets too far ahead in the polls.

“According to the Constitution, the state legislatures choose the presidential electors”

I just looked that up. The electors were chosen in each state by popular vote over a five day period.

If he wins, at least we'll be able to keep our shotguns.

Kristin Gillibrand will be the next President of the United States.

I bet 95% of the people in America have never heard of her. Of course, that doesn't matter to Dem voters. "I'm supposed to vote for this Kristin guy? Is that the one from Free Republic? No? OK. Voting done. Several times."

Ego. She wants what she believes is her rightful place in history - 1st woman POTUS. And she’ll do as much as she can to make this country into the America that she can pledge allegiance to. (IOW - not the way the country is now)

You would think that having grandchildren would change this woman, but NOOO, she’s still stuck on the same old Marxist utopiia principles that she discovered in the 60s. What was it she asked Alinsky? “did I miss the fulfillment of Revelation?”

Biden would be more of obama’s failed years... some blacks have already said they are game to try someone else, and they didn’t mean another democrat. biden might be one the left didn’t dislike.. and vote “lesser of 2” .. but it would still be another 4 years of more of the failure of the past 8. They’d do that, in the face of a new possibility in Trump?.. IF Trump can do the next weeks, well... the debates well... he has a chance of a landslide victory.

Here is a direct quote from Article II of the Constitution:

Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors equal to the whole number of senators and representatives to which the state may be entitled in the Congress, but no senator or representative or person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States shall be appointed an elector.

The Congress may determine the time and place of choosing the electors and the day on which they shall give their votes, which day shall be the same throughout the United States.

In our first presidential elections, the state legislatures chose the electors. Then the states began to pass that onto the voters via the formula that Maine and Nebraska use today. Then when the two party system, as we know it, came into being, the states switched to a winner-take-all formula.

As late as 1844, South Carolina was still having its state legislature choose electors, and that didn't end until 1868. There is no constitutional requirement for a general election to choose presidential electors. It's simply how the system evolved over time.

The Supreme Court ruled in the 19th Century that final authority over electors still resides with the state legislature. That's why in 2000 the Florida legislature had a slate of Bush/Cheney electors ready to go by the Safe Harbor Date if the courts continued to dither over the subject.

from Wikipedia:

1st election —

“Only 6 of the 10 states casting electoral votes chose electors by any form of popular vote.”

However, presidents have always been chosen by popular vote. 1828 was evidently the first to have more exact counts, about 57.6% of eligible voters voted.

He was #2 of those running for the position. He may have been running as a lackey but his name is on the paperwork.

If something would happen to Trump would it pretty much have to be Cruz?
