If someone convinces you that the Democratic Party will replace the 82-year-old who beat Trump with the 76-year-old that lost to him, then you are extremely stupid and should have someone on hand to ensure that you don’t respond to the Nigerian Prince emailing you.
A little voice in my head has been nagging me to rethink the DNC’s predicament given the fact of Hillary Clinton.
@michaelmalice
convinced me that HRC replacing Biden on the ticket is not only plausible, but may even be likely. Color me spooked.
@lxeagle17
It probably won't happen, but it would still be a good strategy for Democrats, since Clinton both did better with key Democratic constituencies than Biden, and did better than Biden relative to nationwide in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania
@lxeagle17
Sure, but have you considered how undeniably hilarious it would be for the same reasons you think it’s implausible? Picture this…Biden has to step down due to health/inviability and Kamala is poised to break the glass ceiling that Hillary thought was her birthright
@lxeagle17
The need for outrage clickbait during the election cycle is so much more important than accuracy though!! Sigh. This is going to be a long 9 months.
@lxeagle17
Worse, this would be the GOP’s dream-candidate: they already have an infinite number of attack ads already in the can from 2020. This would be the worst replacement EVER. I can see the NYT headline now: “Was James Comey Right?”
