Yup, Hillary would be the default candidate if anything happened to the Kenyan. She would reap a “sympathy” vote, too, as one of the seeming victims of the “bad luck,” if, say, the Kenyan had a fatal incident.

They gots lots of practice canonizing every far-left liberal who was shot by another crazy leftist (here in Tucson). One guy who got shot just won the seat, after 1.5 years of it being empty.
