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.’

Isn’t it curious as the weeks progressed Hillary’s political problems have gotten worse and worse and Trump has gotten better and better, after the debates Trump should be 10 points ahead.

Yup. She owes some very bad people some high level favors that only the President of the United States can get access to. There are many Democrat officials who are keeping silent, but are probably wishing for her defeat to finally rid themselves of the Clintons as a political force permanently.

Not gonna happen. The Dems take their lumps this election so they can end the Clintons as a political force for all time.

Her wannabe replacement, Mark Cuban, has been making public political statements and attacks against Trump for the last couple weeks.

Hey, they’ve gotta figure out their backup plan if she simply keels over and doesn’t come to sometime in the next8 or 20 weeks.

The same Smoky Back Room which shoved Obama into the Oval Office and stabbed Sanders in the back. Classic Democrat Machine politics. They never change

I hope that the back room deal gives the Democrats Elizabeth Warren as their replacement nominee. She'd be such a joke of a candidate that every purple state will turn red overnight.

What you say about the DNC's back room deals is exactly right. The RNC is no stranger to this game either, they did their utmost to shove yet another Bush down America's throat. They just didn't count on a flamboyant billionaire coming along to throw a wrench into their political machine this time around.

These journalists are speculating. None would have been told about such a meeting.

Might be they're floating a trial balloon to see how various subs are received.
