| Trump: The Only Way Hillary Will Be Stopped Is If She Gets Indicted [VIDEO] |
| 2016-02-22 |
| [Daily Caller] Donald Trump said Sunday that if Hillary Clinton "gets indicted, that's the only way she's going to be stopped" from getting the Democratic nomination. Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union" with Jake Tapper on Sunday, Trump said, "I will tell you this, as a candidate, I will bring over many, many Dems. We're going to bring over a lot of Democrats, we're going to bring over a lot of independents. Nobody else will. In all fairness to the other candidates, they will never bring over independents." |

| #11 Stopped? Hah! The people who would vote for Hillary now would still vote for her if she was sitting in a jail cell. Pablo Escobar ran the country from prison. Why not Mrs. Bill? |

| #8 If Sanders gets the popular vote and its taken away by superdelegates we may see the Dems divide into two parties. Socialist and Power-hungry crony capitalist pseudo-socialists. |

| #6 Bobby, one would think so. However there was a Supreme court case, Ex parte Garland, that said that the president can pardon a federal crime at any point, even before conviction. |

| #5 My not-quite-a-constitutional-scholar-but-pretty-bright wife says they gotta convict her before she could be pardoned. Sounds logical... |

| #4 Left out is the possibility of a full and complete pardon. |

| #3 ... rigged in favor of Hildebeest. Given that Mr. Sanders refused to join the Democratic Party throughout his long political career because he is a capital S Socialist -- he spent one summer at an openly Stalinist kibbutz in Israel, his honeymoon in Moscow, and flew down for an America-bashing fest in Noriega's Nicaragua -- it seems fair to me that those who hitched their wagons to the Democratic Party might prefer he not be their standard bearer. Unfortunately, they foreclosed all the options that aren't Mrs. Bill Clinton. |

| #2 There is another way, but good taste and sensibility prohibits further discussion. |

| #1 He's right. The Democrat (as opposed to Democratic) nomination is rigged in favor of Hildabeest. The superdelegate votes are stacked towards Hilary. These voters can vote for whomever they want; they don't have to represent the general Donk voter in any particular way--they are uncommitted in that way and are going for Hillary rather than Sanders. In 2008 about a third of the delegate votes were superdelegate votes. The superdelegate votes tend to protect the party and the establishment candidate. |
