What if Hillary should drop out? Who else is out there?

"Before this is over, Dems will put Hillary in a wheelchair and call her the 2nd coming of FDR."  "Old, tired, ill, and a congenital liar not a prescription for success."

Drudge: Which Democrat Should Replace Hillary?  The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 48% of Likely Democratic Voters believe Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s primary rival, should be their party’s nominee if health issues forced her out of the race. Twenty-two percent (22%) say Vice President Joe Biden should be the nominee, while only 14% opt for Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, the current Democratic vice presidential candidate. 

How Bernie Sanders Die-Hards Echo Clinton Conspiracy Theories
"It’s not just conservatives pushing the idea that the Democratic nominee is sicker than she admits."

Even the Libertarians aren’t serious about fiscal reform.  "Weld, for his part, pours well-deserved scorn on Donald Trump and Hillary Rodham Clinton for their flat refusal to take seriously the need for entitlement reform. But even the doughty Libertarians — who, let’s face it, do not actually have anything to lose, politically speaking — are knee-deep in wishful thinking when it comes to fiscal reform."

Democrats Have No Choice But to Continue With Hillary



. . . "Cass Sunstein once observed that Democratic presidents could count on being "lucky" -- being elected in times of prosperity following someone else's administration. Hillary will not have that advantage thanks to Barack Obama.  She comes at a moment when the world is aflame and the nation is divided. If, to paraphrase Lefty Gomez, you have to be lucky when you aren't good, then this time America had better be lucky, because it has no reasonable expectation of good." . . .

There is little mention of Jill Stein out there, perhaps because of stories like this.
