Hillary’s fading health has become a national issue. While only a few weeks ago the subject was considered a rouse by conspiracy theorist, a cold hard reality set in this afternoon when Clinton collapsed on the streets outside of the 9-11 memorial in New York City. The DNC, as reported by Emmy Award-winning journalist David Shuster, are moving to hold an emergency meeting to consider a replacement for Clinton.
Clinton’s inability to walk will be almost impossible for the Democrats to sustain. In an election that’s already considerably close in the polls and facing a motivated group of Trump voters who will go to the polls on election day, the DNC must act now and replace her. But replacing her would seem a complicated matter. Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine wouldn’t likely be the choice. He has no real following, no star power to carry him past an energized Trump. Joe Biden formerly turned down the offer, though it doesn’t mean he’d turn it down again. He’s the only likely choice at this juncture. Clinton saying she “feels great” does little to help her party. She will likely field calls to formally resign from the election. And the media (who is currently banned from seeing her) will swarm in on this story as the tide has turned.
Bakari Sellers, a Hillary Clinton surrogate and CNN political contributor is now questioning if Hillary should be forced to reveal her medical records in light of today’s events. The Washington Post even turned on Hillary writing “Hillary Clinton’s health just became a real issue in the Presidential campaign.”
But what about Bernie Sanders? The DNC doesn’t want him, that was shown in countless emails exposed by Wikileaks several weeks back. The DNC could infact pass on Sanders completely and push election day. Strategically possibly?
Democratic Party bylaws stipulate that in the event that a major party’s presidential nominee dies or drops out, the party can hold a special meeting to find an appropriate replacement. It is further possible that Congress could delay election day if such an event were to occur too close to election day.
As it stands, a nominee for a major party has never dropped out or died prior to a major election. And pushing election day might not be the sanest move by Democrats, but the fact is, they are desperate to remedy a series of vile mistakes: 1) They were proven to have pushed Sanders out. 2) They helped conceal Hillary’s email scandal. 3) They’ve clearly concealed Hillary’s health demise. All of this has been shown to be a coordinated effort on the part of the DNC. And now they could actually attempt to manipulate election day.
The DNC moving to replace Hillary is a fantasy idea. It won’t happen. The DNC does not want Sanders as the nominee. They’ve currently provided the party with a sick, corrupt candidate over him. They aren’t about to have a change of heart anytime soon.
Here is Bernie running to the elevator, seeming the picture of perfect health, which is now making the rounds on social media.
