As Hillary implodes, the Democrats have no real Plan B
JOHN PODHORETZ (New York Post) ^

Posted on 08/22/2015 1:26:48 PM PDT by bryan999

The summer has not been kind to Hillary Clinton. The drip-drip-drip of revelations about her possible misuse and mishandling of classified information threatens to become a deluge in the fall. They have taken a serious toll on her reputation — and even more notably, her treatment by liberal media figures who surely would rather she be elected even if the Risen Christ were to be the Republican nominee. Democrats are worried — so worried five donors who raised millions for President Obama as well as Obama’s chief Florida strategist have both sworn off Hillary and joined an effort to draft Vice President Joe Biden to save the party from an unelectable (or, dare we say it, indicted) nominee.

Should they be worried? Sure. People in politics should always worry, and since she kicked off her presidential campaign by talking about being “dead broke,” Hillary has been a worry-generating machine for any rational non-Pollyanna Democrat who doesn’t live in a Media Matters for America bubble.

But is Joe Biden a serious Plan B? No. There is no Plan B.

Some other threads are saying Biden / Warren based on a meeting held today at SlowJoe’s house.

I could see that happening.

Plan B could feasibly be.

Kasich, Bush or Trump.

She’ll get a POTUS pardon if needed.
As for dough, the CGI has enough $$$ to keep them in the potentate class until death.

The only event that will persuade me Hillary is through would be her formal announcement that she is quitting; followed by the closing of her campaign facilities. This woman has massive support and an iron will. She is incredibly dangerous. Once she gets to the voters she will win. Look who the American people elected as President-twice!

As Hillary implodes, the Democrats have no real Plan B

In a way they do, as in B for Biden: Biden/Warren would be attractive to many on the left. It could happen. And to make your day even worse, consider the (unlikely) Biden/Michelle ticket.

Obama sees part of his legacy as handing over the keys to the White House to someone who will continue his policies.

Imagine if Obama turns over the keys to Trump or Ted Cruz or any other Republican.

It’s not just the presidency they have to worry about.

Without someone at the top of the ticket to drive turnout, it could be a midterm-like Republican wave down the rest of the ballot.

The MSM will break their pencil-necks looking the other way for a ticket headed by Joe: combo creep and `tard.

Plan B is that one of the RINOs win and the
Forward March of Progressivism continues, but at a slightly slower pace.

The advantage of having a RINO in the WH for the Progs is that it whips up the Prog masses so that when the “real” Progressive gets back in the WH, they can go full steam ahead and none of the Prog masses even care if it hurts them as long they think it hurts “those damned Republicans” more.

This willingness to cheerfully be damaged by their own party is why these people are a greater enemy to the security of the United States than the Nazis ever were.
