The State Department's report on Hillary Clinton's insouciant attitude toward cyber-security would finish any other American politician. She ignored the law, flouted it repeatedly, and didn't care; folks are in prison for less. The only thing that's holding her up at this point is her Amen Corner in the media, most of whom know her personally and who long for a Clinton Restoration in order to reclaim their places as house courtiers. But 2016 is not 1992 or even 2008, and the retinue of retainers is as long in the tooth as the former first lady herself. They can't protect her as they once could, and the multiplicity of media means that while the gatekeepers are still at the gates, the walls on either side have fallen. Meanwhile, State has publicly called her a liar and left a stinking mess on her doorstep that even her faithful house boys are going to find difficult to sweep aside. Now what? Maybe this what:
The Democratic National Committee is considering a plan to re-insert Vice President Joe Biden into the presidential race, Donald Trump said Wednesday in California, a stunning claim on a day when front-runner Hillary Clinton faced new questions about her classified email scandal.
'I hear they're gonna actually slip Joe Biden in and he's going to take Bernie's place,' Trump told a rally audience of thousands in Anaheim, California, referring to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. 'I hear they want to slip him in,' he repeated. 'Cause I will say, the system is rigged against Bernie, 100 per cent.'
Well, that's certainly true. Mrs. Clinton was declared the nominee even before the first pro-forma ballots were counted, and nothing that's happened since -- including Sanders's remarkable series of victories over Hillary -- has changed the official narrative. But the State Department's report is yet another straw on the staggering camel's back.
Biden, who has been vice president since 2009, withdrew himself from presidential consideration in October, citing family pressures following the death of his 46-year-old son Beau. 'I believe we're out of time – the time necessary to mount a winning campaign,' Biden said then.
But if Clinton were forced out of the race, Sanders – who describes himself as a 'democratic socialist.'– would become the presumptive favorite. That's an outcome the Democratic Party could find undesirable.
Trump was reacting to a damning report from the State Department's Office of Inspector General report that clobbered Clinton over the security of the private, homebrew email server she used exclusively during the four years she was America's top diplomat. Among the report's conclusions was that on at least two occasions hackers tried to penetrate the server, which was housed at the Clintons' home in Chappaqua, New York.
Sliding Biden into the top spot would not be all that difficult for a party that doesn't care what the law says anyway. In fact, it would be a Torricelli Maneuver on a grand scale, the illegal replacement of an all-but-dead candidate with a party hack. There's no way the establishment Democrats are going to hand over control of their cozy racket to a crazed geriatric communist who wasn't even a member of their party a few months ago.
Whether they can get away with it, of course, is another story. The Clinton's hold on the media is waning; she is a terrible candidate, even worse than she was eight years ago; and by the time the campaign hits the summer, her unfavorables will be far higher than Trump's. For all their bravado, the Democrats are looking at a very bleak future. And if the FBI recommends prosecution...
It might actually be doing the Democrats a favor. Obama, crocodile tears in his eyes, can say he did his best, but guess what: Hillary ain't that likable after all. Attorney General Lynch can move forward with an indictment, schocked, shocked to find gambling going on in the casino. Under pressure, Hillary pleads health issues and steps aside -- but not before tossing her delegates to Biden. Riots ensue, but the party leaders don't care: la cosa nostra is safe for another generation.
And here you thought the GOP had problems.
Trump smelled blood, and hammered Hillary on Wednesday at the Anaheim Convention Center. 'Crooked Hillary!' he boomed. 'She's as crooked as they come. She had a little bad news today ... not so good. The inspector general's report. Not good.'
'But I want to run against Hillary,' he insisted, even if her legal problems make her candidacy untenable. 'I just want to run against her. Look, I don't know if you're going to be able to. It could be we run against Crazy Bernie. That could be. He's a crazy man, but that's okay. We like crazy people,' Trump said of Sanders.
Somebody call the men in white coats.
Weiner didn’t withdraw...Hillary is a lot tougher and more psychotic than he is.
They don’t leave of their own volition, you have to force them out or beat them. The party “elders” have no sway over her. They might need Trump to put the stake in her heart for them.
She had a bad day today and she has to see Trump surging. She knows somewhere down deep he is going to beat her, but I doubt she’ll ever admit it to herself. She won’t live long after being denied the presidency for the final time. She must hate Trump as much as she does Obama.
What if she is a party boss?
Creepy Old Joe can be Trumps’ nickname for Joe Biden. Lol
What if Hillary goes to the dims convention and picks Joe Biden as her vice president. The convention selects that ticket. Then Hillary can step aside leaving Joe Biden on the top of the ticket and selected by the dims convention.
"Thank Heaven, for little girls."
Biden is not going to send a shiver up anyone’s leg. Hes the guy theyve kept in the closet the last 8 years. He is covered in Obama.
Warren. The dims really wanted her anyway.
Well there is that but remember Obama beat her in 08.
Is he (Obama) a party boss?
If Hillary gets really desperate, she may have Bill Clinton fake a heart attack requiring hospitalization, just before the nomination vote. When she is declared the nominee, Bill Clinton ‘miraculously’ recovers, practically overnight!
If Bill refuses to be part of the charade, Hillary may ask Chelsea to help her stage a health drama featuring her grandchild Charlotte the infant. Nothing is out of bounds. This is likely her very last chance at the presidency before dotage sets in.
waterboard Hillary
it’s the ONLY way we will ever get the truth outt of the witch
Mr. Walsh must read FreeRepublic.
This has all been posited for months here on FR.
Music to everyones ears.
If the powers that be in the dim party really wanted shrillery, 0 would have pardoned her by now. Dim’s don’t want her either.
She won’t drop out willingly.
I like it. How many pols have we heard resign in the fax of allegations saying they need to spend more time with their families.
face
He is now. Then, not so much...
She’s also selling sensitive intel and laundering the money through the Clinton Foundation - not that any Leftists have an issue with that
She’s already put the “dot” into “dotage.” As ever with the Clintons, it’s just that the media doesn’t report it.
And later, almost never again. Remember how fast the Democrats dumped any mention of Jimmy Carter until he safely reappeared in the '90s as the delightful grandpa making houses for old people? Obama will be similarly discarded.
