    They’re going to run Hilary. Bet on it. Biden will drop out and Clinton will “step in”.

    For extra bonus, she’ll choose someone like Kerry just to sweeten the deal. It will be peak Democratic party insanity.

      I’m so glad that our first woman president will be someone less popular than Hillary goddamned Clinton, and she will only get in because an old, white man couldn’t give up power, so he died in office. Yay feminism!

      They could swap in another completely unknown candidate tomorrow and have a chance at winning. They won’t so that tells you all you need to know about how much they want to win. Two cheeks of the same ass.

      It’s pretty simple actually. There is no penalty for the party when Trump wins. All that’s going to happen is that they’re going to restart the talk show industry bleating about Trump being bad, and they’re going to have a much easier time raising money. On the other hand, if they go against zionist lobby then they lose money.
