Right now, Michelle Obama is 100:1 odds. Stacey Abrams is 200:1.

I don’t think Hellary would “settle” for VP.

The other side is pretty much incapable of critical thought and has been brainwashed into thinking people like Hillary and Obama are enlightened leaders trying to save the planet and change the world to some nebulous Progressive and cosmically better social order>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yes.

There is a name for it: “ Utopian Liberal Fascism”

And a great article with historical analysis on how it works, a great read:

“Barack Obama: The Quintessential Liberal Fascist “

Hate to burst your bubble so early in the morning, but no one is going to be indicted or held accountable.>>>>>>>>>>>>

Oh yes. there will be an accounting. If its not in the courts it will either be at the ballot box or in the streets.

Indictment is far more preferable to handle these traitors.

Maybe, but I think Hillary is really aiming at a Supreme Court spot.

Then she and her ‘husband’ can continue their life’s work of stuffing their pockets and trashing the US

re. I don’t think Americans want another four years of the Magic Negro.

Perhaps so, but far too many people vote to get stuff for them or make a statement, not to improve America.

She ain’t running.

If she’s breathing, she’s scheming, plotting bribing, cajoling, threatening, promising, etc. people to run.
Right now she’s trying to figure out how to clear the boards so she can walk in and take the nomination. She may not succeed in getting the nomination but she’s not done by any means.

If she’s breathing she’s trying!

The person who comes into the convention to save the day will not have the baggage of having to take unelectable positions to appeal to the Democrats lunatic base nor will that candidate be tainted with the bitter animosity of the Democrat base like Hillary was with angry Bernie Bots who refused to bite for Hillary, just like the pissed off Hillary PUMAs who refused to support Barak Obama in 2008

I don't think it is possible for someone outside the field of candidates to be nominated at the convention. By the time the of the convention, I can't imagine more than 2 or 3 candidates left. The nominee would be one of those. I don't think the rules would permit them to nominate someone else. If something happens to a candidate after the convention, the executive committee would make the selection.

> I don’t think the rules would permit them to nominate someone else <

I’m pretty sure that’s for the first ballot only. After that, anyone can be nominated. And more importantly, the establishment superdelegates then get to vote. So if no one comes to the convention with a majority, Hillary has a real shot.

Hillary Clinton may soon be under indictment for sedition and trading in classified information.

I don't believe that for a second. However:

1) Have you seen any recent pictures of her? Her legs in particular? She shows every sign of congestive heart failure. It will be a miracle if she's even around in 2020 let alone running.

2) The rabid moonbats who have seized control of the Democrat party are actually FURIOUS with her. In their view she played dirty pool to kneecap Bernie and then ran a lousy campaign which made EEEEEVIL Orange Man the POTUS. They are heaping scorn and blame on her in the places where Leftists hang out. She is viewed as a corporate sellout. No way they allow her to be the nominee again.

Permit me to add a few things in Hillary’s favor for 2020. She has proven that she can beat Trump. By popular vote, that is. And compared to the rest of them, she’s a centrist, someone who can appeal to the independents.

But then there is that health thing. Well, the mainstream media covered for FDR. They’ll cover for Hillary. Heck, if Hillary somehow gets the nomination, she’d probably be too physically weak to debate Trump. So she’ll refuse to debate him, because he is a “hater”. And the the media would agree, and praise her high moral standards.

I guess people are incredulous that all the Dems have are a bunch of 3rd rate leftist radicals and Joe Biden. Will the world wide progressive socialist movement die whimpering?

Hopefully!

The Mooch is not going to run in my opinion. They just bought that giant estate. Why would she want to work as POTUS. Her ego is huge. She demands $4200 to come hear her spew out her racist rants against white people. Loves to hear herself talk.

Let's say you are correct. Obama controls the DNC through Perez. It is unlikely Hillary gets the nod. If something like that happened, all heck would break loose even if it was someone else. There would be a big risk of voters being angry and staying home on election day. There is still plenty of time for someone else to get in, but Joe would have to get out. Right now 2/3 of the polls go to the commies and 1/3 to the perceived moderate, Biden.

That’s an important point that works against Hillary. Let’s say it’s a brokered convention. I can see Biden’s delegates switching over to Hillary on the second ballot. But Bernie’s delegates certainly would not.

So Hillary would need Warren’s delegates to get the nomination. “Hey, Liz. Release your delegates to me and the next seat on the Supreme Court is yours.”

Unlikely, but possible.

Talking through this, it seems to me Warren eventually will be in the drivers seat. Biden has a slight lead in the polls because of name recognition. Once it becomes clear he has too much baggage and isn’t as mentally sharp as he used to be, he is finished.
