What If… Hillary Has Been Planning All Along to Drop Out of the Presidential Race
You're right.
Call me crazy.
But what if — with the Democratic primary following the Republican one — Hillary Clinton — along with the top honchos of the Democrat Party — had been planning all along to drop out of the presidential race, once Donald Trump is nominated?
Drop out in favor of a far more electable Democrat?
And have that Democrat run along the problem-riddled New York billionaire?
Joe Manchin? Evan Bayh? Andrew Cuomo? Terry McAuliffe? Amy Klobuchar?
Even Joe Biden or Al Gore?!
Yes, I know it sounds crazy. I know it doesn't sound like Hillary's — or Bill's — personality to bow out in favor of a fellow politician.
But after eight years of let's-bash-Americans policies, I am far less willing to dismiss crazy conspiracy theories out of hand…
This hasn't been on my mind incessantly, but for a month or so, maybe more, it has been bugging me on and off, and t'is what came up again upon reading Matthew Sheffield's Praxis article (thanks to Ed Driscoll) on a somewhat different subject.
Let us hope, let us pray, that I am indeed crazy…
