Democrats should ask Clinton to step aside

2016-10-31

[Chicago Tribune] If ruling

Democrats hold themselves to the high moral standards they impose on the people they govern, they would follow a simple process:

They would demand that Mrs. Clinton step down, immediately, and let her vice presidential nominee, Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, stand in her place.

Democrats should say, honestly, that with a new criminal investigation going on into events around her home-brew email server from the time she was secretary of state, having Clinton anywhere near the White House is just not a good idea.

Since Oct. 7, WikiLeaks has released 35,000 emails hacked from Clinton campaign boss John Podesta. Now WikiLeaks, no longer a neutral player but an active anti-Clinton agency, plans to release another 15,000 emails.

What if she is elected? Think of a nation suffering a bad economy and continuing chaos in the Middle East, and now also facing a criminal investigation of a president. Add to that congressional investigations and a public vision of Clinton as a Nixonian figure wandering the halls, wringing her hands.

The best thing would be for Democrats to ask her to step down now. It would be the most responsible thing to do, if the nation were more important to them than power. And the American news media -- fairly or not firmly identified in the public mind as Mrs. Clinton's political action committee -- should begin demanding it.

#4 There isn't any voice in the Democratic Party that will ever suggest morality is anything even noticing. It simply doesn't exist. Reality to a Democrat is what serves the Democratic Party. The purpose of a thing is always itself.

Its been that way since Bill's days in the White House. The morally sound side was to vote in favor of Clinton's impeachment and removal from office--the Chief Enforcement Officer of our nation's laws can't be someone who has committed perjury and sexually harassed one or more government employees. The Dems chose to do NOTHING then, and they'll do NOTHING now. The Democratic party has no moral beliefs, and believe only in the Democratic party.

The Clinton impeachment debacle was the first thing that began my turn from Democrat into a card-carrying Republican. 9/11 was the other.

#3 I am in my "safe space." I am the alternative to Hillary without the abuse to those around her? And I don't say p*&&y or much else for that matter.

#2 To Hillary, Hillary is inevitable. Any democrat asking her to step aside will be screamed at. And, if she's elected, gets a ticket to Gulag. And there will be one, if she's elected.

#1 C'mon. NEVER happen.

The PURPOSE of a thing is ALWAYS itself. Hillary IS the Democratic Party. The good of the Country of America is a distant second, and actual moral issues simply don't exist. There simply is no God in the Democratic party. Never has been for a long time. Plus Democrats see nothing wrong in Abortion and killing babies. Never crosses their minds that its deeply and totally immoral.
And they will ban you or ruin you or kill you if you disagree with them. Its what they ARE.

Hillary is a rotting hulk and they will still hold onto her until the end. Buried tongue deep in the rancid meat.

There isn't any voice in the Democratic Party that will ever suggest morality is anything even noticing. It simply doesn't exist. Reality to a Democrat is what serves the Democratic Party. The purpose of a thing is always itself.
