When they replace Hillary who would get your Vote for?

I feel like its an interesting question. The DNC worked pretty hard to beat Bernie. Does that camp still hold sway? They know Biden would crush Trump but how would they justify it?

We can only hope she is removed. I find it unlikely.

As far as who the DNC goes with in this hypothetical situation:
Choosing Bernie would be following the will of the voters most closely.
Biden has been elected before, so the voters have chosen him before. That lends some credibility to that pick.
Kaine was appointed by Hillary, so that doesn't reflect the will of the voters at all. But coming from Virginia, I have voted for him every time he has been an option on the ballot. He's good and would make a good president.

God, what a thrill if Biden ran after all. He still would never agree, but hey.

If Kaine got it, that would be like Hillary getting passed over for promotion. Hard to run again when the guy under you got picked. But Biden as former VP, vs. Hillary as former Secretary of State, that would almost be like she had politely deferred to her boss and figured she'd catch the next elevator. Psychologically, Biden leaves the best opening for her to make a third try.

What if the whole thing's a setup? Like the DNC figured out it's too close of a margin after all, and told her she had to get replaced with someone stronger, but let her stage a slowly-growing fake medical issue to save face? Stuff of TV dramas written by Aaron Sorkin, I know. Not how it happens in real life. But I do love a good conspiracy theory.

And the CIA killed Kennedy. I feel it is true. So it must be true. Where is my idol Limbaugh on this?

If asking hypothetical questions, more useful is to ask about things that have basis in reality and are of concern. What happens when a nuke is launched by the kid in N Korea? Does Japan have the right to invade N Korea? Will that happen even though it is completely justified and required by military doctrine even 2500 years ago?

What happens if China start building on the Scarbourgh Shoals? That is a hypothetical that all in that region are rushing to plan for (except an idiot running the Philippines).

The Donald invading N Korea using his emotional justifications also is not discussed. That is not a hypothetical question based in reality. A better hypothetical question is by how much wacko extremists remain outnumbered in polls.

It sounds like you want to say Chelsea Clinton; but, can't quite spit it out.

It sound like you are spitting The Donald venom again. That happens when you drink Ann Coulter rhetoric.

Find your dictionary yet?

I'm not sure arguing for Nixon, W, and Hillary's foreign policy is a winner for you.

I need not say. I am a disciple of The Donald. Truthiness: ideas that 'feel right' and therefore should be true. I too can have a hoard of supporters.

Next. Order the Blue Man CD called "How to Be a President". Then I know everything that The Donald knows.

And I need not go searching for a dictionary.

Hillary Clinton regrets her Iraq vote. But opting for intervention was a pattern.


It was hours before Sen. Hillary Clinton would vote in 2002 on whether to give President George W. Bush the authority to go to war with Iraq. She had been advised by her husband and many close associates to vote “yes.” ...

...For years, Clinton has blamed Bush for misleading her into voting for the resolution. But an examination by The Washington Post found that her decision was based as much on advice from her husband’s advisers as from Bush administration officials. There were also significant gaps in her fact-gathering, most notably her apparent failure to read a classified analysis that other senators cited in voting against the resolution. ...

... Fourteen years later, Clinton’s decision is a heated issue in her presidential campaign against Republican Donald Trump, who said at a Sept.*7 forum that her vote and other hawkish actions show that “she has a happy trigger.” Clinton responded that force is her last resort, even as she acknowledged that she regrets the Iraq decision. (Trump has repeatedly said he opposed the resolution, but fact-checkers have determined that he favored it at the time Clinton voted.) ...
Proof positive that if that double-crossing Democrat, Iraq invading, mission accomplished, over 5,000 dead Americans, whacko extremist Hillary Clinton were out; then, Donald Trump would be the logical candidate to vote for in lieu of her.
