INSANE Liberal Plot To Install President Hillary

[AgeOfEnlightenmentSCP]

Serious question: what drugs are these people on?

Even as the bombshell story breaks of the FBI / Obama / Clinton / Russia collusion to sell US Uranium to Russia; and funnel laundered money to the Clinton Foundation; Hillary compares the wild allegation of "Russian hacking the election" to 9/11. 

Not to be outdone, Harvard Law Professor, Julia Glum (aptly named), writes a delusional scenario where, after a series of impossible events leading to the installation of Hillary Clinton as President:

1. The Trump-Russia investigation, which is based entirely on a fabricated "Dossier" and has yielded nothing of substance, would somehow force the resignation or impeachment of Trump.
2. Pence should then resign since he benefitted from the supposed Russia conspiracy before appointing a vice President would mean
3. Paul Ryan would become President, and out of a sense of honor, choose Hillary as VP, and then HE should resign admitting the GOP doesn't deserve the presidency.
4. Hillary would become President and then,
5. Hillary should appoint Ryan VP out of a sense of political goodwill to "heal the wounds".

Friends, I'm watching the left have a collective mental breakdown. Every day yields another insane plot to overthrow the duly elected government of the United States. 

Say what you will about Newsweek's traditional liberal bent, they've gone off the rails running this. This isn't worthy of Daily Kos. This is nothing short of the ramblings of a lunatic- but anymore this passes for the kind of mainstream thought you find in Newsweek, or in the rest of the fake media...

Yet another drama thread for no good reason. Most people would not even mention one offs that have little chance of occurring. (Confusing unlikely scenario with a plot is almost as extreme as doing the usual one person thinks this so everyone on the left must. )

This thread isn't because Trump was tacky in talking to a soldier's grieving widow, was it?

[resolution]

I don't know why Newsweek would publish anything so ridiculous, but even Hillary knows that she is done and has promised not to run again.

If you read the article, Newsweek even admits it's a fairy tale.

Hillary promised to not run again after she lost to Obama. I foolishly believed her then - I'm not so quick to believe her now.

The bolded part is very similar to a Battlestar Galactica plot. Entertaining sci-fi.  Reality - I don't think so.

Maybe, but the chances are good that Trump will run again in 2020. If that's the case, I don't see her running, why repeat 2016 all over again?

That would leave 2024 and she'd just be too old by then.

The only scenario I see her running again is if Trump isn't running in 2020, and even then, one has to question if the Democratic Party would even nominate her after losing not only once, but twice.  

[zibazinski]

They ran her to begin with and she has enough on them to get their nomination again. If trump can't keep any of the promises that got voters to vote for him, and it looks like he can't, he won't get re-elected.

Actually they ran her to begin with and realized she was unpopular, uncharismatic, and didn't pull in the female vote like they thought she might.

Of course I don't know what they'll actually do, but if they are smart, they will run a younger person (Sanders, Clinton and Biden are all fairly long in the tooth) and someone who can galvanize the crowd, something Clinton could never do very well.

I don't think so.  First given his age and second I don't think he'll want to.  I've said it before but I believe Trump ran for president thinking it was the biggest popularity contest of all time.  Now that he's in it's dawning on him how much it sucks to be president and that he's never going to be Mr. Popularity he's not going to have any interest in round two.

My guess is he'll finish his term then ride out into the sunset on his 15 minutes of fame with book deals and lectures and maybe attempt President Trump: The movie..

[movingforward]

Well, I am hoping neither Clinton or Trump run again. Having those two run again would be like watching Groundhog Day about 50 times in a row.

Like drama, I don't think Trump will run again. He can't take losing so I don't see him risking it. As we have seen a couple times now, Clinton is not very likable (at least to a lot of folks).

Give us new and improved candidates for both parties PLEASE!

You may be correct regarding the Russian investigation...but it is still early into this investigation...as example , look into similar congressional, special prosecutor investigations...it will be interesting to see where it ends up and as in any special prosecution investigation..it can go anywhere...see Clinton...Monica...Not where it was started...Why are u in such a hurry..afraid longer and more thorough it goes something might come up...I know u won't admit it but our Donald is a flawed individual...so far not a Presidency going the right way...believe if we o end up in a war of some kind. it will be blamed on another POTUS  ...definitely not our Donald.

If they let Hillary run again, I will declare the dems the dumbest party to ever exist.

I think Trump will run again. If he choses not to, he will have to listen to the news say exactly what you all just said - he is afraid to lose again, he can't hack it, etc. The only scenario I see him bowing out is if Ivanka runs, or he dies.

In the current era of state presidential primaries being used to select delegates to national nominating conventions, I have to question who "they/them" are in these posts.

I wonder what new/additional information she got on "them" between 2008 and 2016 that got her over the top. Or maybe it was a different "they" then. Will "they" be the same "them" in 2020 or a new "they" then? And if "they" are a new "them" then, will she have enough on the "them" then to get her the nomination?

He only listens to news he likes so that really doesn’t matter..,

The same people who manipulated the primaries in favor of Hillary over Bernie?

The reality is the party needs to figure out a way to beat an incumbent president. "They" need a theory that will rally a huge number of their base without alienating the middle / independents. Hillary is not that candidate. If she doesn't know that "they"need to educate her.

I don’t think Clinton will run against Trump again, wheather or not Trump will win if he runs again is a separate issue. It’s too early for me to speculate what his chances are of re election.

The point is it would be foolish of the democrats to run her again, particularly against Trump. Whether or not Trump wins is irrelevant.

I think Trump v. Cuban would be an exciting race- and one I could live with the outcome either way. Because here's the thing- it would cement the defeat of the establishment that right now thinks they're coming back.

Hillary is DONE. When I said she would likely not remain healthy enough to finish out a single term, and may not even live that long-- I meant it. This is NOT a "broken toe", folks.

[Tennesseer]

You also claimed she would be dead in two weeks in July of 2016.

[busymom]

I started laughing at #3, because can you even imagine Paul Ryan resigning the presidency?  I can't even give the man credit for having a sense of decency.  Isn't this the same Paul Ryan whose family received public assistance when he was growing up, & now doesn't want anyone else to have access to the same program?

Not the first time I've seen someone say they'd broken their toe when, in fact, they'd fractured a metatarsal. If it breaks at the distal end of the metatarsal, I guess it could be looked at either way.

Yeah- you can't trust Paul Ryan. He personifies the swamp. He even married a millionaire liberal Democratic K-Street lobbyist (she's a "SAHM" now. Of course.) 

The good news for you is that he's probably "decent" in every way you regard as "decent" and he would never cut off the welfare spigot. The Paul Ryan budget was always a foil designed to get the GOP base all tingly in their nether regions while it predictably failed.
