John Kass writes at the Chicago Tribune that in the face of the FBI reopening an investigation into the emails of Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State, it is time for her to “step down” as the Democratic Presidential nominee:
Has America become so numb by the decades of lies and cynicism oozing from Clinton Inc. that it could elect Hillary Clinton as president, even after Friday’s FBIannouncement that it had reopened an investigation of her emails while secretary of state?
We’ll find out soon enough.
It’s obvious the American political system is breaking down. It’s been crumbling for some time now, and the establishment elite know it and they’re properly frightened. Donald Trump, the vulgarian at their gates, is a symptom, not a cause. Hillary Clinton and husband Bill are both cause and effect.
FBI director James Comey‘s announcement about the renewed Clinton email investigation is the bombshell in the presidential campaign. That he announced this so close to Election Day should tell every thinking person that what the FBI is looking at is extremely serious.
This can’t be about pervert Anthony Weiner and his reported desire for a teenage girl. But it can be about the laptop of Weiner’s wife, Clinton aide Huma Abedin, and emails between her and Hillary. It comes after the FBI investigation in which Comey concluded Clinton had lied and been “reckless” with national secrets, but said he could not recommend prosecution.
So what should the Democrats do now?
If ruling Democrats hold themselves to the high moral standards they impose on the people they govern, they would follow a simple process:
They would demand that Mrs. Clinton step down, immediately, and let her vice presidential nominee, Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, stand in

Several decades too late.
What are the chances that if she did, Insane Kaine would receive a huge "sympathy vote" because the Beast was "mistreated"?
I just posted a link to this on today’s FR Sunday Morning Talk Show thread.
Hopefully, this will emerge as the prevailing message throughout the democrats this week.
Just an FYI- all my Leftist Facebook friends are furious with Comey and blaming Republicans for Hillary’s problems. SMH
Step aside?
Um, someone’s gotta go to prison.
That’s another reason Trump and conservatives need to step up effort to highlight what a poor and problematic candidate Kaine is, ie: corrupt, ineffective, unpopular (highlight his pathetic “Rally” turnouts)
Prepare for All likely possibilities.

Precisely 0
The Clintons weren't skilled merchants. They weren't traders or manufacturers. The Clintons never produced anything tangible. They had no science, patents or devices to make them millions upon millions of dollars.
All they had to sell, really, was influence. And they used our federal government to leverage it."
This was really all we needed to talk about.

First of all, she’s not going to “step down!” She is in this to the end, and that’s a good thing. There is no reason to let the RATs off the hook and move the Kaine weasel up a notch, because he might just pull it off!
So how do you handle that? Do you laugh at them?
Why would one have leftist friends? Acquaintance? OK, but friend?
Should one have adulterous, thieving, lying or child-abusing friends?
Just curious?
found your problem, right there :)
“Chicago Tribune: Time For Democrats To Ask Clinton To Step Aside”
At least they’re not suggesting that she would have to “step down”. Down from where?!
Most are relatives. But the Leftist friends I have usually go way back, high school, junior high, etc. Although there was a period in my life when I was more Lib than I am now. Some from that era that I still enjoy following.....others are on my list, but I have unfollowed them anyway.
