BREITBART, MOONIE TIMES, Drudge, Daily Caller, or Rush Limbaugh, etc. They're really pushing these silly frogmarch/indicted memes.

And "overseas sites?" LOL! They aggregate their news, often as not, from places like BREITBART, MOONIE TIMES, etc.

If Hillary is indicted and leaves the campaign could the DNC just replace her with Joe Biden? [View all] Seeinghope May 2016 OP

How undemocratic of you to suggest the idea. N/T Big Blue Marble May 2016 #1

I am not SUGGESTING the idea. I have seen it mentioned as a possibility. That is why I am asking Seeinghope May 2016 #3

"Seen it mentioned?" Where? No Democrats--unless they were real mendacious--would suggest such MADem May 2016 #9

AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA JonLeibowitz May 2016 #40

You didn't think that was snark? I did. It was a smackdown to the laundry list provided MADem May 2016 #58

It was absolutely not snark. The others on the comment thread were shocked and Kos never clarified. JonLeibowitz May 2016 #67

It was a snarky answer to that piece I bolded. Anyone seeing it as anything other than MADem May 2016 #69

No, not a wishing-and-hoping complex -- I just know how to read. JonLeibowitz May 2016 #72

Don't put words in my mouth--it never works well. MADem May 2016 #73

Nonsense post; I was just holding you to your characterization of Kos. JonLeibowitz May 2016 #75

I'm not invested in "Kos" at all. From what I know of him, he was a Republican before MADem May 2016 #77

Thats what a lot of people have said is their plan. Baobab May 2016 #97

Well, someone on the internet said it Dem2 May 2016 #92

I have a life. I took an old lady to the grocery store--can't you find something to do if MADem May 2016 #60

ageism - lady would have sufficed. 840high May 2016 #63

No--she was an OLD lady. It's "ageism" to find something "wrong" with being OLD. MADem May 2016 #65

Heehee - I am 77 - 840high May 2016 #79

If you are, you should know better. nt MADem May 2016 #88

Actually I posted that to show 840high May 2016 #95

Silly, you say? These are YOUR people writing this garbage: MADem May 2016 #105

I love my people. Relax. 840high May 2016 #106

Your dismissive "relax" is the ultimate in condescension. MADem May 2016 #107

We won't forget either. If Bernie 840high May 2016 #108

He won't be, you'll either have to hold your horses, or leave. nt MADem May 2016 #109

You know, Hillary will " Break the Wheel". FarPoint May 2016 #20

Are you angling Aerows May 2016 #53

No, Hillary has done the "walk of shame", and will wreak vengeance ... JustABozoOnThisBus May 2016 #70

I'd also love to see this site try to enforce party loyalty in that case. HA! Good luck. reformist2 May 2016 #25

You would? I can guar-an-TEE you, you will see just that. nt MADem May 2016 #61

I Have Met And Spoken W/ Biden For More Than 30 Minutes Once... Good Used Car Salesman! CorporatistNation May 2016 #112

It may be undemocratic, but it's precisely what Barney Frank & the Rules Committee will end up doing leveymg May 2016 #51

I think Biden will come out of the convention as the candidate. Peregrine Took May 2016 #2

If she's indicted and her poll numbers are plummeting, they might go Biden. Obama would back it. EndElectoral May 2016 #4

She will not be indicted. apcalc May 2016 #78

How would that happen? Seeinghope May 2016 #5

Supers cast their votes for Biden SheenaR May 2016 #36

If that were the backup plan, the supers would not now be signalling that Sanders karynnj May 2016 #96

I was asked how it could happen SheenaR May 2016 #99

If Biden is not on the first ballot, there won't be a second ballot. thesquanderer May 2016 #111

My understanding SheenaR May 2016 #116

Although not literally "names on a ballot" (since there is no ballot per se), my understanding is... thesquanderer May 2016 #117

I think the DNC will do whatever they want. HooptieWagon May 2016 #8

Bingo. nt SusanCalvin May 2016 #48

Hillary has the power to release her delegates to someone else as she did in 2008, Thinkingabout May 2016 #10

Did either of them get to double digits in the primary? libdem4life May 2016 #33

Replacing her with Biden would prove the DNC is more invested in stopping Bernie than Trump whatchamacallit May 2016 #11

Bernie is stopping himself. He doesn't have enough delegates. MADem May 2016 #21

No you are not addressing the issue here... ljm2002 May 2016 #71

What would they do? They'd watch pigs fly while they sing Fitzmas songs! MADem May 2016 #82

Ridiculous. Cue X Files theme redstateblues May 2016 #39

I wonder also what would Sanders do with his delegates should he be indicted for Thinkingabout May 2016 #12

She's received the same letters from the FEC. Fawke Em May 2016 #17

No she has not--see post 23, last sentence in the message text. nt MADem May 2016 #24

This is just one source, there are many others. It's a well-covered story. MADem May 2016 #23

Here's some cold water to throw on "just one of many" bogus claims you think to make... MrMickeysMom May 2016 #29

Waah-I hate the source, so let me gish-gallop but not prove it wrong!!! MADem May 2016 #87

The campaign that is in debt is Clinton's MrMickeysMom May 2016 #89

You're the table pounder--don't like the source/change the subject! MADem May 2016 #90

Yeah... MrMickeysMom May 2016 #91

I don't think you can force your delegates to vote for someone else. Fawke Em May 2016 #13

If Hill is bumped, her delegates are automatically free larkrake May 2016 #37

And wouldn't that be just terrific? SheilaT May 2016 #15

I would think the other candidate would be the next guy. apnu May 2016 #31

yes,or anyone else, but that person will have to get more votes than Sanders larkrake May 2016 #32

You know, there are plenty of other sites that cater to various fantasies. You don't need DU. randome May 2016 #34

They have to go where Karl assigns them. nt Andy823 May 2016 #52
