Monday on NPR’s “Morning Edition,” ABC political commentator Cokie Roberts offered her thoughts on the apparent health issues regarding Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and the how the party could be looking to handle things if a replacement is needed for Clinton.
According to Roberts, there was already conversation within the party about such a possibility.
“The fact that it comes now when the polls are tightening and Democrats are already saying that Hillary was the only candidate who could not beat Trump and it is taking her off of the campaign trail, canceling her trip to California – it has them very nervously beginning to whisper about having her step aside and finding another candidate.”
When asked if that really could happen, Roberts called it “unlikely to be a real thing,” but floated the name of Vice President Joe Biden as a possible replacement.

Cokie Roberts: Dems ‘Nervously Beginning to Whisper’ About Hillary Replacement; Floats Biden as Possibility
The Bernie people will not be happy...
like the Clintons would let this happen......NOT
They can’t make her go. She would have to do it willingly and she won’t.
Maybe you haven’t heard, but pneumonia can kill you.

She runs at the wish of the DNC. They can remove her. They will.
Putting a loser _on_ the ticket as replacement won’t work.
The instant he’s announced, Trump will run the Gaffe-O-Matic montage and Biden will be toast.
The ONLY viable replacement is Kaine, because (in the general population’s understanding) the whole point of VP is to replace a disabled/dead POTUS, so of course he’d be the one to just move up the ticket he’s already on.
Real question, not suitably explained yet, is how the electors will respond. That’s a can of worms being pried open as we speak.
Floats Biden?
They don’t know if he’s a sinker or a floater
She's waited all her life to be Empress of the World.
Besides, there's so much more influence to be peddled through the Foundation, to be operated (ahem) separately and independently by Chelsea! All that would be wasted if she stepped down.
Dems know that one more health episode from Hillary and its panic time. It could happen at any moment.
I dealt with this last night. No switch out is possible, as early voting has started. That’s just one of TEN reasons I gave

That will tick off Bernie Sanders people
When you start to loose Kookie, you are in deep trouble.
