While many of our readers have a longer time-frame than do I, at age 59 I would say that this is the weirdest presidential election I’ve ever witnessed.
Thus far the election process has produced one candidate who is so thoroughly corrupt and meglomaniacal that the fact that Hillary’s even still in the race is an indictment of our society.
The other candidate is a billionaire real-estate tycoon who started off his campaign with some pretty inflammatory and controversial statements, but who never-the-less defeated some impressive competitors to win his party’s nomination. Since this seems to be the election year of the “outsider,” this may actually help Mr. Trump.
For me, the choice is obvious. Hillary needs to be kept as far away from the White House as possible. With her warmongering and bellicose statements, there might not be much left of planet Earth by the end of her presidency. While The Donald is obviously not without his faults, the world is much more likely to be in one piece at the end of a Trump presidency. And he might actually get some very positive things accomplished.
But debating worthiness of candidates isn’t the purpose of this piece. Exploring what might happen if one of the candidates ceases to be able to run is.
Part of this interest in how candidates are replaced stems from specualations about the health of Hillary Clinton. There are clearly reasons to wonder if she has one or more serious illnesses. Her erratic behavior coupled with her known health history and comments by medical professionals have done nothing to quiet speculations that failing health may remove her before election day.
Trump is another case. He’s actually a bit older than Hillary, but does not appear to have any of the questionable health issues that besiege her. Concern about The Donald centers more on specualations on whether there might be attempts on his life — tragically, not an unprecidented possibility in U. S. elections.
So what could happen if one of these candidates became unable to continue for whatever reason?
John Whittington Obama wrote an Executive Order so that he can postpone/ cancel an election – Obama is a very sneaky & clever Muslim.
Or throwing a shoe.
Agree – HRC is his bait to cause turmoil & HRC doesnt know it.
Agree & Obama did write an Executive Order keeping him in office .
If she did dye she will be able to vote for the next democrat. This is just wishful thinking .this$#%&!@*won’t kick. She might wonder off. It will look like weekend at Brenies they will carry her there
Obama should not hold any more terms.He is done . We need a new administration that is for the good of this country. Americans should revolt and expect a temporary President fit to serve until all our government is stable. The most experienced Person and an American that is for America.Who that would be is something to think long and hard about. Obama should be done as serving his time.
I think we are in for a remake of Weekend at Bernies, with Reid and Pelosi dragging Hillarys disfunctional or dead corpse around as long as they can get away with it. Dems will never give up on her and will continue to perpetuate her as “the one”
Killary is suspect in getting rid of people to want to spill the beans or go against what she wants but I don’t think she will do anything to Trump. He knows her history and is well protected. On the other hand if you are talking about Killary it is obvious her health is band and she is under a lot of stress because of her criminal behavior. Dumbama will not be president much long so he cannot protect her and she will never be president because we don’t want her. Rigged votes and voter fraud will not put her in the WH because we will all be watching.
WHAT HAPPENS if HILLARY DROPS OUT???
It goes on… Her VP … Takes the torch for her.
