Hillary's Replacement thread

[UberNeuman]

She's done.

Cancelled visits this week. Presidental debates in 2 weeks. It's not looking good. Put a fork in her.

Get on your knees. It's time for master Trump to lead us into the dark ages.

Check your intake of bath salts.

Hey, I've got a damn good deal on this little bridge in Brooklyn if anyone is interested. It's in real good health too.

 

[boomerang]

It would be and perhaps will be interesting to see how this plays out. Is there precedent? Is there a procedure? A methodology? I would think it's her decision to quit the race and even if she's confined to a wheelchair with only the capacity to operate a light for yes and a light for no she won't give up her quest for the ultimate power on planet earth. IMO, there's some deep-rooted issues that drive Hillary Clinton. The Presidency won't cure them but she doesn't understand that.

But should she drop out, who picks her replacement? Her, the DNC, the courts? How do ballots get altered in time and would they need to be? What about early voting that is already taking place? Anything done would have to be done on a very accelerated timeline too.

She's much sicker than we are being led to believe IMO. But that's the Clinton way. Lie, lie lie.

If you believed that you really could keep your doctor, really could keep your plan and that it would cost $2500 less per year you probably believe that Hillary just has pneumonia. Raise your hand if you do.

Taking bets from anyone who thinks she is going to drop out. Minimum bet $100.

This thread is proof that America is far stupider than even the most cynical believe. How you are the "most powerful" country in the world is beyond me.

 

[FerrelGeek]

Never fear. Obama will intercede to save us all. He'll deem it a sufficient crisis to warrant his staying in office. The founders never imagined this scenario when they wrote the constitution, so it's only logical that he step in for another term to allow the country to settle down.

I am torn. I want to turn on Fox News to see how fanatical they are on this story... but every time I turn on Fox News, it reduces my IQ by at least 5 points.

If they are finally telling the truth about her health issues and she actually has pneumonia, then I can't see her bowing out. She'll fight through that and be sufficiently OK to get through the debates and a lightened campaigning schedule.

If, however, they are not telling the truth about what's going on with her health (remember, the rumors about her health started way before this most recent 'incident' with the freezing/confusion/hacking etc), then all bets are off and she might get pushed out still.

Given your starting IQ around 90, you'd better stay away from Fox News then!

 

[fskimospy]

If she was diagnosed with it on Friday then what do you mean 'finally telling the truth'? That's illogical.

 

[flexy]

Am I the only one who thinks YES, health is an issue, but it's not something "spectacular" in this case when a 68 year old woman has pneumonia and BY FAR, not even in the slightest, would affect her candidacy or competency to be pres.
The amount of idiocy aka "she's done" I read here and elsewhere is just MIND.BOGGLING...greatly reflects the wishful thinking of those brain-amputees who seek out anything (as trivial it might be) to find a reason that "she's done".
It's like birthers x9000.

That being said, I would vote for a "prepped up corpse" rather than Trump

There have been persistent questions about her health for much longer than that. I know, I know, crazy internet conspiracy theories, haters etc etc. Either way, just saying "nothing is wrong, everything is fine!" didn't sound particularly believable then, and it certainly doesn't now.

Well, pneumonia can be very serious and it could hamper her campaigning and the debates etc, but I agree, if that's it then there's no way she's "done" or dropping out or anything like that. However, that's based on the assumption that it really is "just" pneumonia. There are certainly reasons to think there's more going on.....

That's certainly your right and I suspect you're not the only one. But people who have already locked in to that extent that nothing can change their mind are not going to decide the election. There's a big block of people in the middle who don't particularly like either candidate that have yet to get really locked in.

By far most likely scenario is this is a one-off and not an issue after a couple weeks. Less likely is that she'll be more prone to pneumonia diseases due to her previous stroke(s) as it's a risk factor. It's not disqualifying but of concern if continuing infections become recurring and impair her ability to perform the job; it's low risk in terms of low likelihood * moderate severity of impact. If it was an unlikely but possible contributing factor like Parkinson's then she might not be able to fulfill her term if elected, that's a very low likelihood but * critical severity of impact.

Either way, hope she gets better soon.

There have been 'persistent questions' coming from her political opponents, one in particular who is known to be a pathological liar that routinely tries this trick of a secret evil with his opponents. (Birtherism, Ben Carson being a secret pedophile, Ted Cruz's dad conspiring to kill Kennedy, Obama being a sleeper Muslim agent, etc.)

If she really does have these other problems then her current diagnosis is not 'telling the truth' about her condition. If not, there was nothing to 'tell the truth' about. Either way it doesn't make sense.

There is of course no medical evidence for those other conditions, but that's never stopped the Internet before.

 

[Kazukian]

She won't drop out, and shouldn't drop out.

 

[edro]

I doubt it is coincidence that PBS was airing the JFK Documentary last night.
It spoke at length about his battles with health (Addison's disease) through his career.

So you're going with the "nothing is wrong, it's all just rumors by the conspiracy theorists and haters" option.

If she really does have these other problems then her current diagnosis is not 'telling the truth' about her condition. If not, there was nothing to 'tell the truth' about. Either way it doesn't make sense.

Nonsense, it is easy to see from videos of her recent events that *something* was/is wrong. They insisted nothing was wrong, but now after the collapse we are told it's pneumonia. It was already obvious that something was wrong before, the video of her collapse just forced them to address the issue.

With proper treatment (anti-biotics and bed rest), pneumonia usually takes about a week to get over to the point where you can be functional. My mother was over hers in about 4-5 days and she's 80 years old. I predict a week of bed rest.

It means we know exactly which websites he's been reading.

You got the first sentence & the last sentence right. The rest is speculative bullshit & assertion of facts not in evidence. There is no credible evidence that she had a stroke nor any reason to propagate the notion other than for propaganda purposes.

It works like this-

It's all bullshit between the first & the last link on the page, kinda like your post.

 

[Kazukian]

Jhhnn, that's not speculation, it's a fact, he's right.

Every time you get pneumonia, you have permenant lung damage and it predisposes you to developing it again, and the other complications are proven facts.

You need to stick with what you know, which seems to be surprisingly little outside of a Google search.

So what? In context, it's misleading bullshit, a wrapper for the outright lie, the reference to imaginary strokes.

 

[sportage]

Wasn't there once a candidate/president rolling around in a wheelchair or was it on crutches or both?
Maybe just maybe we need an age limit.
No candidate can run for the presidency if they are over, oh say... 50? ...45?

No, this is not going to be the demise of Hillary Clinton. Sorry Charlie.
"The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated".

However....
Trump "could" take advantage of this by appearing very concerned and becoming polite.
If Trump were to say, "I was quite concerned when I seen the video of her stumbling into the suv."
And Trump could add, "I wish her a speedy recovery. Politics is politics but her health comes first."
And just maybe Don will say something like that?
After all, they are both New Yorkers, and the Clintons did attend Trump's wedding.
They can't be all that anti-each other.
So I could see and would think Donald just simply be as pleasant as peaches about this temporary Hillary health setback. just be nice and act concerned. Rise above the politics.
Anything that makes Trump appear more human to the public has got to help him out in the polls.

THIS turns me off to Trump more than anything concerning ither of their health issues.
I NEVER want a presidential family in the whitehouse that kill like THIS.
And the son of a bitch is even smiling....

Just entirely, completely false.
