Clarification from dem operatives @HillaryClinton pneumonia: Expect emergency DNC meeting to CONSIDER replacement. #HillarysHealth
Hillary arrives for the first debate...
Al Gore, John Edwards, John Dean, Bernie Sanders all have been vetted. Plenty of losers to pick from.
“I must be reading this wrong - the Dems have up to Dec 19 to replace Clinton? Even if we vote Nov 8?”
Yes, he is clearly correct. The popular vote in the states elects electors. Then the electors vote for President.
If the Democrat candidate is unavailable, the Democrat party could simply tell its electors from each state to vote for a replacement. Electors can vote for whoever they want. This was a safeguard built into the election process to assure against corruption.
Elector votes are valid. There might be challenges, but if enough electors voted for someone other than the person on the ballot, that person would be the President.
All true.
We’re looking at a Trump landslide - and down ballot Democrats would suffer massive losses.
At this point, its no longer about saving Hillary, whose is damaged goods but preserving the party.
“If she performs poorly in the first debate, they have a ready-made excuse. Shes recovering from pneumonia.”
hillary didn’t appear triumphant after the matt lauer event, but hilliary will be the comeback kid when the next debate occurs. that is how obama did it.

We’ll soon have a rolling stream of Arkancides.

In 1972 after the primaries and conventions, McGovern’s VP selection, Tom Eagleton from Missouri was found to have undergone mental evaluations; he was replaced by Kennedy in-law Sargent Shriver. The Democratic National Committee made the choice.
Does anyone doubt that in the event of a narrow Trump win, there will be incessant calls from Dems, nevertrumpers, and there pals in the MSM for the electors to “vote their conscience”.
They tried this with Bush/Gore. Lets just say I hope that Utah’s 6 electoral votes are not needed.
See this?
I simply can’t keep up..if you’re already on this thread, disregard pinf!

>> “She isnt running on her own money.” <<
Right, she’s using money from America’s global enemies!
That is what the Clinton Crime Foundation is all about.
.
“...so doesnt that also mean if Trump wins they can replace him with someone else...”
No.
TY!
It’s going to get even more rough and tumble.
Don’t hesitate to ping!
;)
Exactly. If they ever do replace her, those who have voted for her, their votes won’t count. Which states have early voting? Any swing states?
As I understand it, their votes *will* count; they’ll just go, through the electors, to whomever the party puts in her place.
And we haven’t even seen the latest emails Assange has. We’ll get them starting next week.
Jeb could replace her.
“And, refresh my memory. Was put on suspension for something, correct?”
Yep:

And after glancing at this guy’s wiki bio, he pretty much looks like a nobody.
If they chose either Biden or Kerry, each would have previously been vetted.
