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.

Dick Morris knows much more about these things than I do. But I have read that the DNC rules say that should the nominee bow out, the person with the next-highest delegate count then gets the nomination. And that would be Bernie.
Of course, the DNC can interpret the word "gets" in the above to really mean "doesn't get".
Morris just got excited from seeing bare toes when Rodham-Clinton’s shoe flew off her hoof,the pervert.
And people have known that about Biden for decades. Quite a few Saturday Night Live episodes mocking his sanity and abilities. Trading one fool for another, that's what they would do.

Vice-presidential candidates Sarah Palin and Joe Biden will face off in their first and only debate this Thursday in St. Louis, Mo. Quite a few Explainer readers have asked what would happen if one of the presidential candidates were to die or become otherwise incapacitated before Election Day: Would Palin or Biden assume the nomination?
Not necessarily. Each party has its own protocol for this scenario, but in neither case does the running mate automatically take over the ticket. If John McCain were to die before the election, the rules of the Republican Party authorize the Republican National Committee to fill the vacancy, either by reconvening a national convention or by having RNC state representatives vote. The new nominee must receive a majority vote to officially become the party candidate. If Barack Obama were to die before the election, the Democratic Party’s charter and bylaws state that responsibility for filling that vacancy would fall to the Democratic National Committee, but the rules do not specify how exactly the DNC would go about doing that. (Congress could also pass a special statute and push back Election Day, giving the dead candidate’s party time to regroup.)
I’m not aware of that DNC rule. Do you have a source?
The BernBots didnt get the payoff. The head Socialist took all the money.
We may have a conflict.
If Dick Morris says it, it’ll never happen.
Sanders is not a Democrat.
Nah. The Clinton crime family will go on no matter what
BFL
She will have to be on her deathbed to voluntarily withdraw. Yet the Biden scenario is becoming increasingly likely.
A Tump v. Biden debate would be fun.
Can you imagine Joe Biden with his finger on the red button, ready to nuke someone? He's the one who joked about firing your shotgun through the locked front door to deal with someone outside. "Take that, Putin!" and then "Oops".
With an earbud for remote control, Biden could be a problem.
Chelsea is old enough...the Democrats could just do it the North Korean way, keeping it in the family.
Obama’s wife.
Biden and Kaine won’t work.
Old Morris The Toe-Sucker, ha ha.
No, electors cannot vote for Biden unless he is one of the top three electoral vote vote-getters in the Nov. 8 general election.
She would be really, really tiny at that point. Now...in a coma, she would still be the size she is.
Don’t let the Slow Joe routine fool you. Biden is evil.
