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.

I’m a lady. I’ll thank you to not use the term to describe Hillary.

What major policy issue have the Democrats not already implemented?

Now that the Supreme Court votes Liberal, the Democrats can sit back and play defense for the next eight years while they enjoy the money they looted from the public treasuries.

They’re getting old. They want to enjoy their later years.

If Hillary wins, that’s just a bonus.

Listening to Jeb, you’d think he was angling to take her place on the Rat ticket.

Dems can run a “First”...

The first Hispanic President... or the first gay President... something silly - not a person who can do something - but a “FIRST”...

How about a trans-gender married to a lesbian with a physically challenged child born in China and adopted 2 years ago?

Or a fake Indian who scammed the system to get breaks for herself at the expense of real minorities?

Dems are f-ed in such a massive way it’s hard to even describe. The presumptive nominee of three months ago is a presumptive inmate in six months from now, and even should she by some diabolical miracle walk free, she’s politically untenable.

That’s on top of the historic wipeout of 2014 which eviscerated their bench of up-and-comers and revealed a vastly weakened network of support in nearly every single state.

Biden’s a rancid pervert and there’s no way he could sub in. There are no important federal department heads who aren’t already enmeshed in scandal. There are no popular governors among their ranks, either, and their Senators are all demonstrably corrupt and radical miscreants.

Gore might be their best bet among those not declared yet, and he’s been a recluse out of politics since losing in 2000. After that there’s some real bottom-of-the-barrel reaches like Richardson.

This dismal outlook is what leads me to believe the eventual Democratic nominee will be Martin O’Malley. I see no better option for them.

Caroline is still around. May be as dumb as Biden, but she's a Kennedy and a woman, and much younger than Uncle Joe. But I don't think anyone is giving her any consideration.

Who else is there? Jerry Brown? Candy Crowley? Wesley Clark? Bill Richardson? Patrick Fitzgerald?

I want to know why nobody told her doing a press conference in her Orange is the New Black pantsuit wasn’t a good idea?

I do not think Hillary will win. She is TOAST. Nothing you post will convince me otherwise. Besides the Bern has caught fire by the turnout he has had at his rallies.

The reality is that Donald Trump could very well defeat her or any Dem presented they are in trouble.

Let’s face the reality. This is the Donald’s to win, 2016, and if he put’s either Cruz or even Carson on the ticket, he will be the next President.

Nobody said it was a good plan!
That's why it's Plan B!

Hillary Clinton was dead-on-arrival, politically, when her most recent book tour failed miserably. After that fiasco....everything else has gone downhill!!! Between the inept, Ms. Clinton, total failure, POTUS, Obama and bumbling, Joe Biden...the Democrat Party is dying of old age and political failure across the board!!! The country cries out for change but the Democrat Party is totally deaf!!! And....fot that matter so is the Republican Establishment RINOs!!!

“As for dough, the CGI has enough $$$ to keep them in the potentate class until death.”

That would be wishful thinking on the Clinton’s part. Kaddhafi thought he had enough $$$ to keep him alive, or at least escape in one piece out of Libya. He ended up shot dead on the hood of a SUV.
