In the wake of Hillary Clinton’s physical collapse on Sept. 11 – which her campaign blames on pneumonia – some journalists are reporting secret, high-level meetings are taking place among Democrats to consider a possible replacement for Mrs. Clinton at the top of the presidential ticket, should the need arise.
Hillary Clinton collapses while being carried into a van in New York City on Sept. 11, 2016
Among the reporters making the claim is David Shuster, an Emmy-award winning journalist based in New York City who formerly worked for MSNBC.
After Sunday’s episode where Clinton apparently fainted in the arms of Secret Service agents after she was spirited away from a 9/11 ceremony, Shuster posted numerous tweets about the machinations of the Democrats.
Shuster has since tweeted on Monday that it appears Vice President Joe Biden would be the likely choice to run at the top of the Democrat ticket if Hillary withdraws, and that Bernie Sanders’ team is “scrambling.”
Darrel Rowland, who is covering the presidential race for the Columbus Dispatch, tweeted Monday: “Tim Kaine ‘ready to become the president’ if that ever became necessary, ex-Ohio Gov Ted Strickland says in intro at Dayton Stivers High.”
Radio host Rush Limbaugh speculated on the names that may be thrown into action.
“Would it be [Vice presidential pick Tim] Kaine? Would they automatically elevate Kaine since he’s the VP? … Or would they go out and get crazy Bernie [Sanders]?” asked Limbaugh rhetorically on his Monday broadcast. “If they didn’t choose Kaine it’s because they don’t think he can win. They don’t have much of a bench.”

Web Bot predicted this event around the third week of September. She doesn’t care who she inconveniences. Good riddance!
These journalists are speculating. None would have been told about such a meeting.
The same Smoky Back Room which shoved Obama into the Oval Office and stabbed Sanders in the back.
Classic Democrat Machine politics. They never change
Hell hath no fury as a Hillary scorn.
Don’t do it Dems! There will be mass Arkanside if you do!!!!
I think Al Gore would be excellent.
As Herman Cain said: But Cain says he doesn’t expect Clinton to drop out before Election Day in November.
“If I were a betting man, I’d put my money on the idea that Hillary’s a ‘bitter clinger’ when it comes to seeking the White House. She has no intention of dropping out. Even if she wanted to, she probably can’t because she owes favors to so many people. To put it in ‘mob-speak’ she’s simply ‘in too deep.’
“So, while the story isn’t going to go away, you shouldn’t expect, hope for, or dream of a scenario where Hillary Clinton bows out. If you’re looking for conspiracy theories, try this one on for size: Hillary has to stay in the race. The minute she’s no longer a political force, any high-level protections that she and the Clinton Foundation have been enjoying will evaporate. She’s running not just for president, but for self-preservation.”
I notice “some journalists” aren’t named. Is it because:
a) Desire for anonymity?
b) Desire for longevity?
c) Another hoax?
After all the speculative stories about DJT being ousted as the nominee, this is kinda fun.
NOPE, they don’t have the balls or the spine to do this to the Clintons...if they did, they would have ‘erased’ them years ago...
The Clintons are ‘trailer trash’ always have been and it’s no different right at this moment...lies, scandals, cheating, stealing, buying and selling secrets to foreign countries, making women’s lives hell to bear...
...and another one bites the dust...
GO.TRUMP/PENCE.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!
Hillary’s old nag female voters will not take kindly to Hillary being pushed
out for a man.
There is another variable that needs consideration: Soros.
If the Evil Backstage Emperor wants Hillary gone, she will be gone. Period.
Sloe Joe has shown no ability for draw voters. Besides, she has Bubba, who will keep her on life support, and, Webb Hubble’s daughter will keep her in a Lenin mausolean to show she is still alive, while her robo-pen and Bubba keep the gob’mint running.
Any of the main characters in this crap shoot would present problems for the Dems. Sanders is too left wing, Kaine is just not a strong enough candidate on a national level, and Biden would represent Obama 3.0.
My guess is the replacement would be Bite Me.
Totally agree. This woman will not drop out.
“Nice little conference you got going here. Be a real shame if anything were to...happen to the participants, you know what I mean?” It better be secret. Real, real secret.
She may not physically make it and have no choice.
So they're not picking her replacement unless she quits. Hope she fights them for the next 45 days or so.
I would pay to see this!!
The ONLY source for these rumors is David Schuster. Something doesn’t add up.
