Desperate times do indeed call for desperate measures. For the Democrats, a truly desperate time could come if Joe Biden is forced to withdraw from the presidential race. While the former vice president is the presumptive Democratic nominee to face off against President Trump in November, his nomination is still far from official.
Some Democrats tell me they fear that Biden’s political survival is getting more problematic with each passing day. They cite three main issues. The first is their concern that an allegation of sexual assault leveled against Biden by former staffer Tara Reade won’t go away anytime soon. If anything, it appears to be about to gain a new life.
Next, they worry that another shoe could drop regarding questions related to Biden’s son Hunter and his business dealings. Lastly, some Democrats are concerned about Biden’s age and possible cognitive issues — a concern that some also have expressed about Trump.

The process is actually fairly straightforward. If Biden quits the race right before the convention, delegates would select a new nominee. If he drops out right after the convention, members of the Democratic National Committee would pick their replacement candidate.
Who might be in consideration to become the new nominee — and who would be selected as the vice presidential running mate? Several likely combinations come to mind, starting in many minds with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, but one particular, truly out-of-the-box combination stops the discussion in its tracks: Hillary Clinton as the nominee and Barack Obama as her running mate.
No, it’s not possible.
NO.
How many DNC leakers would have to die to make it happen?
BHO is ineligible, no way around it.
HRC would love nothing better than to head the ticket.
An HRC/Mooch ticket is possible, however.

Never say never, Obama wasn’t eligible the first time.
Regarding Barry, the 12th Amendment would prohibit him from running as VP. But some folks argue that the 12th Amendment only applies to those restrictions in place when the 12th was ratified.
I guess it all depends on how liberal the Supreme Court is feeling when and if it decides the matter.
From the 12th:
But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
It’s a Democrat merry-go-round of sexual predators, their enablers, and other bizarre perverts and deviants.
“ Never say never, Obama wasn’t eligible the first time.”
Put nothing past these pretend Americans.
Why anyone does, I have no idea.
No Obama can’t run again and he doesn’t want to. It’s surprising this gets published in mainstream media, since it’s such a kooky idea. Then again, maybe it’s not so surprising.
Anything is possible with the DNC. As an example, how could a non-citizen from Kenya or Indonesia be the president for 8 years?
It would be fascinating to have the Democrats just openly and blatantly put up a VP candidate who has already served 2 terms and would OBVIOUSLY to ineligible to serve again. Just do it anyway. Nakedly. And dare President Trump to make a stink. Because the media would back the Democrats to the hilt.
Really grasping at straws here. But then the Constitution means nothing to the Left/Democrats.
Hillary is possible. In fact i’ve been saying it would happen since Nov 2016. Obama is not possible, VP has to be constitutionally eligible to assume the Presidency and he is not.
No.
But Biden will be replaced. The question is by who.
My prediction -
Someone wealthy
Someone that never served in Government
Someone with name recognition
A “person of color”
Possible a woman but not necessary.
Someone who “appears” to be a moderate
It will not be any of those that ran during the primaries.
not possible
he cannot be president again, vp is out for him
The other reason it’s impossible is that Obama certainly remembers how Bill Clinton cracked in 2008 that In his time Obama would have been bringing him coffee. There is no way he agree so serve under Bill’s wife. No way. He’d much rater golf and jet around to his multiple million dollar estates.
