Is the Democratic National Committee looking into the possibility that Hillary Clinton will step aside? Or perhaps even forcing her to?
Cokie Roberts said on NPR's Morning Edition on Monday that Democrats are "angry at the lack of transparency" after Clinton's collapse on a New York City street on Sunday.
"It was hours after the pneumonia diagnosis was revealed after seeing this incredibly damaging video of her being helped and stumbling into a van," Roberts said.
"Look, there's a reason why the campaign's not transparent, obviously, it gives Trump ammunition and he's been setting her up for this for months.
"Back in January, he started saying she didn't have the strength and stamina to be president and he knew at some point that she, like all candidates, would get exhausted," Roberts said.
"But the fact that it comes now, when the polls are tightening, and Democrats were already saying that Hillary was the only candidate who could not beat Trump. And it's taking her off of the campaign trail, canceling her trip to California today.
"It has them very nervously beginning to whisper about trying to have her step aside and finding another candidate," Roberts said.

Although I’m not totally serious, I will point out that they never found Hale Bogg’s plane.
Did they lose a plane?
Did the pilot just get a new identity?
I dunno. All I know is that Hale Boggs disappeared.
And that was convenient because he was disagreeing with the Warren Commission over JFK’s assassination.
Not so funny now, to the DNC. But, it's their own fault for picking a loser.
Obama did not have those kinds of health problems. Hillary is dead man walking! She is toast.
The problem with all of these replacement scenarios is that the DNC and all replacements are part of the cover-up of Hillary’s health. It’s not as if Hillary’s health problems are a revelation to anyone in the DNC. They tried to pull a fast one on the American public. They are all tarnished.
Hillary owns the DNC and will never agree to a replacement. The Clinton’s know the dirt on everyone in the organization. If anyone tries to take Hillary down, the person(s) trying such an act would be taken out politically. It is like a giant mafia organization. Mutually assured destruction if anyone crosses Hillary.
The Dems have made their bed, now they have to live in it. Other Dems have to save their jobs, and to do so, they cannot cross the Clintons. This replacement talk is all fantasy.
The perception of rag doll Hillary being dragged into a van by enablers has hit a political nerve.
that much is true; the optics are terrible...combine that with her overall oily persona, and the unravelling starts...
Tim Kaine has been called to the bullpen, and told to warm up in a hurry...
How could they get another on s ballot?
The Dems are in a very bad place.
They rigged the election, they handed all the superdelegates to Hillary, they worked against Bernie for the rest of the delegates, and all the while they likely knew how awful Hillary was. They didn’t care. They shafted others to make sure Hillary got what she wanted.
Now they have to switch horses in midstream, and they are going to end up all wet.
I want Kaine to debate Trump on Sept 26.
He’s not ready for Big League pitching.
Early voting is going to be starting g any dasdasy now.
hmmm...there are typos, and then there are TYPOS...
Hillary and Bill Clinton own the DNC. When she refuses to step down, who is going to stop her?
Uh oh. Journalist looking to be Arkancided.
Cokie Roberts, married to Steve Roberts; daughter of Hale Boggs.
Its called auto spell on an Tablet. :-)
Yes, A fine intergenerational legacy of deceit.
Whisper means they believe there is a huge issue. And they are worried she can’t pull it off. Most would like her to get into office. And then the press will kill her. But she will hide like a treed fox. It will turn into a 1980’s Soviet style death watch.
The person who will keep her alive in a closet somewhere will be whoever is Chief of Staff. Whether its Podesta or Blumenthal, either will take the cabinet and start running the country by themselves. They will hide her and release a quote from her every day.
On the other side will be Keane and the Press who will want her to resign in a big messy way that sells papers. They will be hunting her down like dogs after a fox. You could imagine her lasting two and a half years. And then Keane gets in just in time to run for President.
Hey Cokie - why don’t you go play in traffic over there on the DC Beltway?
What the hell kind of name is ‘Cokie’ anyway?
I will add - she’s a Catholic who is ‘a bitter clinger’, that is, she is clinging bitterly to her Democrat roots, as being a good Democrat is so infinitely more important than being a good Catholic. Baptized into Christianity, now immersed into secularism.
He’s not ready for Big League pitching.
depends what you mean by big league...if you mean politics, well the guy is a sitting senator, a former mayor of the state’s largest city, former state lieutenant governor and then governor...he’s got plenty of political clout, especially executive...
he brings more to the table than Hilary Clinton does, or ever did...
Its called auto spell on an Tablet. :-)
