As Hillary implodes, the Democrats have no real Plan B
New York Post ^ | August 24, 2015 | John Podhoertz

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.

Looking at a sample of the 2008 polls at this link...

At this point in the race, Giuliani was the favorite, neck and neck with Fred Thompson. McCain was looking hopeless. Then McCain is suddenly breaking out and both Rudi and Fred have fallen.

I fear Jeb will perform like McCain. We never learn.

If the GOP had a theme song it’d be “Where Have All The Flowers Gone?”

Trump has enough money to spend on TV ads in the upcoming super-primary days, so Jeb won’t have a decisive monetary advantage. Even Cruz has enough money to stay in the game.

Don’t bet the farm. Hillary has more lives than Count Dracula.

You think Lois Lerner has attitude? Hillary will go before that Senate committee, sneer “P*** off, MoFo’s!” then get up and walk out.

There’s big, b-e-e-e-g money riding on Hillary’s panttails. She doesn’t dare let them down. And she’s mean enough to make millions do her bidding. Don’t forget the Arab connection through Huma.

Hillary’s tentacles are everywhere. She’s not done yet.

Plan B was Elizabeth Warren. It is still Elizabeth Warren but with a Joe Biden tossed in at the top. But watch out for Obama. He needs a really good puppet in that office for the next 4 or 8 years and Hillary never really filled that bill.

Paint me nervous about what Obama is actually planning.

I suspected Warren was running when she had Suze Orman quit her show after travelling with her on student loan forgiveness tours.

HILLARY IMPLODES

I have this picture in my mind of Hillary recreating the climatic scene in the classic James Cagney movie, "White Heat":

I MADE IT, MA!...TOP OF THE WORLD!!! BOOOOMMMM!!!!!!

I’ve thought there could be a Clinton/Jeb “Unity” ticket for a while. Wouldn’t it be hysterical if they had to run as a third party against Trump (R no e) and the goo-goos (D)...

Bingo. That is being widely talked about, and is the most likely Plan B.

Biden gets in the race. Takes Warren as his VP.
Agrees to serve only one term, and she is perfectly positioned for the next 8.

A Trump/Ben Carson third-party ticket is also being talked about. Jeb Bush is going to finish 20 points behind in 3rd.
