Democrats 'meeting in secret' to pick Hillary replacement
WND ^ | 12 Sep 16 | Joe Kovacs

In the wake of Hillary Clinton’s physical collapse on Sept. 11 – which her campaign blames on pneumonia – some journalists are reporting secret, high-level meetings are taking place among Democrats to consider a possible replacement for Mrs. Clinton at the top of the presidential ticket, should the need arise.

Hillary Clinton collapses while being carried into a van in New York City on Sept. 11, 2016

Among the reporters making the claim is David Shuster, an Emmy-award winning journalist based in New York City who formerly worked for MSNBC.

After Sunday’s episode where Clinton apparently fainted in the arms of Secret Service agents after she was spirited away from a 9/11 ceremony, Shuster posted numerous tweets about the machinations of the Democrats.

Shuster has since tweeted on Monday that it appears Vice President Joe Biden would be the likely choice to run at the top of the Democrat ticket if Hillary withdraws, and that Bernie Sanders’ team is “scrambling.”

Darrel Rowland, who is covering the presidential race for the Columbus Dispatch, tweeted Monday: “Tim Kaine ‘ready to become the president’ if that ever became necessary, ex-Ohio Gov Ted Strickland says in intro at Dayton Stivers High.”

Radio host Rush Limbaugh speculated on the names that may be thrown into action.

“Would it be [Vice presidential pick Tim] Kaine? Would they automatically elevate Kaine since he’s the VP? … Or would they go out and get crazy Bernie [Sanders]?” asked Limbaugh rhetorically on his Monday broadcast. “If they didn’t choose Kaine it’s because they don’t think he can win. They don’t have much of a bench.”

"“If I were a betting man, I’d put my money on the idea that Hillary’s a ‘bitter clinger’ when it comes to seeking the White House. She has no intention of dropping out. Even if she wanted to, she probably can’t because she owes favors to so many people. To put it in ‘mob-speak’ she’s simply ‘in too deep.’

“So, while the story isn’t going to go away, you shouldn’t expect, hope for, or dream of a scenario where Hillary Clinton bows out. If you’re looking for conspiracy theories, try this one on for size: Hillary has to stay in the race. The minute she’s no longer a political force, any high-level protections that she and the Clinton Foundation have been enjoying will evaporate. She’s running not just for president, but for self-preservation.”"


And there it is. Cain gets it 100% right.

The only that I would add would I think some DNC members and MSM press people are freaking out. They know Hillary is a loser and think some else should run for the Dims. These people should trend lightly. Bad things happen when people cross the Clintons. Bad things.

Obama said he will be campaigning hard in October. Could be a problem if the candidate is at Chelsea Urgent Care all the time.

Yeah, but did he specifically say he'd be campaigning for Hillary?

Good Point.

I think even this latest episode of the Clinton walking dead has him worried about his legacy.

This is the wild wild left and for some reason we have to go through this. That woman needs that finish line.

The powers that be could care less if she dies 5 minutes after the oath.

The Clintons own the DNC outright, free and clear.

The DNC is not going to fire Hillary.

She has to quit.

And my guess is she'll not quit until pronounced dead.

If they did make such a change, is it still possible for them to change the ballots? Or would a D selection be for whoever they now nominate?

Ted Strickland implying Kaine will be POTUS. The Dems REALLY can not wait to talk about dumping her. It has been less than 24 hours, and they can’t shut up about it. It is shocking. They must know/assume she is very ill.

Well if Trump isn’t doing well in the polls near election day then I guess the republicans can just meet and pick a replacement right up until the day before the election. Right?
Think about that.

Smart-o-matic voting machines will multivote and Hillary will be elected.

If the corpsewoman does not survive until November, she truly will receive the dead people’s vote.

I wonder how many of Bernie’s snowflakes would still be motivated to vote?

Just as a matter of perspective, was it only three or four weeks ago the GOP leadership was supposedly meeting about replacing Trump at the top of the ticket? My, how times have changed.
