Democrats should ask Hillary Clinton to step aside
The Chicago Tribune ^ | October 28, 2016 | John Cass

Posted on 10/29/2016 6:44:16 AM PDT by right-wingin_It

Has America become so numb by the decades of lies and cynicism oozing from Clinton Inc. that it could elect Hillary Clinton as president, even after Friday's FBI announcement that it had reopened an investigation of her emails while secretary of state?

We'll find out in a little more than a week.

It's obvious the American political system is breaking down. It's been crumbling for some time now, and the establishment elite know it and they're properly frightened. Donald Trump, the vulgarian at their gates, is a symptom, not a cause. Hillary Clinton and husband Bill are both cause and effect.

FBI director James Comey's announcement about the renewed Clinton email investigation is the bombshell in the presidential campaign. That he announced this so close to Election Day should tell every thinking person that what the FBI is looking at is extremely serious.

She won’t do it, and there is no way to force her to do it. They know that, so they won’t ask.

At last someone in the media gets it.

TRUMP is the ‘vulgarian?’ Incredible. I’d be interested in knowing the orientation of the Chicago Tribune’s editorial board that came up with that descriptor.

The Democrats are already looking ahead to 2020. Meanwhile, the globalists in both the GOP and the Democrat Party will fight President Trump tooth and nail the next four years, cause havoc around the world, and wait to put their next puppet in the White House in 2021!

She also has medical issues. Trump will out campaign her 10 times over in the next 11 days.

That’s richh coming from likely the most corrupt paper covering the most corrupt city. This is just to make them look righteous.

Yep. But they’ll never do it.

Worst case scenario for her is lose in a landslide burying democrats everywhere. Best case scenario is win and spend the next 4 years under investigation and likely impeachment, again burying democrats everywhere. If they were smart they’d take their chances with the gay VP.

They rather have her lose so that the “progressives” can finally clear out the old Clinton machine and any aspects of the DNC that stole the election from Bernie.

For the next 5 years they will engage in a cold civil war.

In 2020 they will run a radical young candidate from California and Bernie will become the VP nominee.

If this was trump with his head in a vice, the GOPe would gleefully join the Democrats in demanding Trump step down. Now crickets from both. We’ll deal with the GOPe quislings later.

If President-elect Trump was asked to step aside for saying mean things over a decade ago, Kankles should step aside because of destroying over 50,000 subpoenaed emails.

Don’t think it will happen but if she did step aside I would bet that they pick Michelle Obama; she’s a woman, a very good campaigner (don’t agree with her on an issue) and she would stir the minority voters. Too short between now and election time to dig up dirt, as well.

TPTB have decided to kick Hillary to the curb. Yesterday morning MSNBC began to turn on her with Mika and Joe finally figuring out 30 years after everyone else knew that she’s a crook. Then the FBI reopens the email investigation 11 days before the election. They know she’s toast as the “it’s over she can coast” meme has failed miserably. Rigged polls aren’t working anymore.

I doubt she’ll step aside. This is the thing she’s chased after her entire life.

The best thing would be for Democrats to ask her to step down now. It would be the most responsible thing to do, if the nation were more important to them than power.

Yeah, but it's not.

Didn’t the Chicago Tribune endorse Hillary?

Aside from the fact that she won’t give up, voting has begun with the Felon as the candidate. If Hillary quits, it’s over. Trump wins.
