But what if Hillary Clinton is truly so unhealthy that she decided it was best for the Democratic Party to quit the race? A major party nominee giving up on the White House journey with less two months to go has never happened before; in fact, no major party has had to scramble and deal with a situation like this, an event that would incite a panic of epic proportions. As one might expect, however, the Democratic National Committee has a contingency plan in case some unforeseen development happened — including the departure of their nominee for President of the United States.
…
If Hillary Clinton or any other Democratic nominee had to leave the race, the DNC would need to gavel back into session and re-do the process all over again. The DNC consists of more than 200 members, selected by Democrats in all 50 states as well as the chairs and vice chairs of each state party.

It is not a proposition. It is a done deal. The DNC will replace Clinton with Elizabeth Warren.
Alright, Jim. Gonna hold you to that.
Given the short time frame they have, I believe the path of least resistance would be to have HRC play the victim while endorsing Sanders. Everyone else would take too long to get up to speed.
If Hillary Clinton had to leave the race. You can be very confident the Obama will orchestrate an “National Event” that would without a doubt allow him to declare “Martial Law!” You can believe that that is his plan or even part of the agenda from day one!
That is what the every “True American” fears! That Hillary Clinton is nothing but a decoy to Obama’s real Anti-American Agenda!
Warren/Kaine not too far off the mark. Dems have to have a woman president now and Moochelle needs to run for NY or IL senate before her bid. It would piss off Kaine, but who can the dems market a white probably-hetero-but-open-marriage male to? My Moochelle angle isn’t too far fetched. Consider Hillary and the American voter’s record of dynastic elections. Clinton (x2) trying for 3, Bush (x3), now add Obama (x2 +..?).
Unless Kaine and his butch wife come out of the closet, then he can try to get the gay vote (miniscule by population but politically heavy). I think HRC will continue by hook or crook. She does have the media (propaganda) and pop-culture. I suspect the long game for the left goes something like HRC, then an open male Bi/Homo, possibly Kaine or the Army’s new Sec, to buy time for Moochelle. Then after the wookie comes a white lesbian, possibly Biskupski (SLC Mayor). Then maybe a plaid midget cis-gender clown, who knows, because by then we will be fighting anything breathing for what little we still have left.
what will happen is she gets elected and between election and inauguration something happens? who takes over?
