Hillary Clinton being promoted as the way out of the Biden mess
“The strongest argument against replacing President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee is the notion that no suitable successor exists. But there is, and not just a good one but one of the most qualified people ever to run for the office: Hillary Rodham Clinton….”
Things just got interesting.
NBC News is reporting that Clintonworld is backing Biden staying in the race:
Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have privately been supportive of Biden’s decision to stay in the race and have been actively encouraging donors to stay with him, according to two people familiar with the Clintons’ thinking.
Both sources used the word “deferential” to describe the Clintons’ position as it relates to Biden’s commitment to continue his re-election campaign, which the president himself has stated publicly in recent days.
Behind the scenes, the Clintons have been in touch with the White House and have offered to help however they can, the sources said.
My first inclination was to view this as Clintonworld getting even with Obamaworld, which wants Biden to withdraw. The Clintons have never forgiven Obama for taking the 2008 nomination away from Hillary, and for using the “race card” on the Clintons in the 2008 primaries.
So I was inclined to agree with Mark Hemingway that Hillary might be doing this out of spite:
I don’t believe any of the reporting on Biden, but the thought of the Clintons doing this to stick it to Obama world is amusing.

But then I saw other headlines praising Hillary and suggesting she may the Democrats’ answer, like this Opinion piece at The Hill, Ready for Round 2: Why we Need Hillary more than ever:
The strongest argument against replacing President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee is the notion that no suitable successor exists. But there is, and not just a good one but one of the most qualified people ever to run for the office: Hillary Rodham Clinton….
The Democrats have a seasoned, savvy and adaptable candidate in Hillary Clinton. Without the burden of incumbency, she can run on a platform of stability, restoration and progress, with the credibility of her lifetime in public service and proven leadership. In her candidacy, we might just find our best chance to retain the White House and transcend the gladiatorial spectacle of politics.
It actually makes sense. Clintonworld keeps Obamaworld at bay, protecting the carcass of the Biden campaign and preventing Kamala from grabbing what most people assume would be the top spot if Joe bows out. Biden knows Kamala is unqualified and unserious, and he is not going to withdraw just for Democrats to lose.
Plus, “Dr.” Jill reportedly hates and has never forgiven Kamala for playing the “race card” on Joe:
Joe might, however, be comfortable handing the reins to Hillary, someone he would consider his equal in stature.
And it would make sense for Hillary to do it this way. She would not be seen as forcing Biden out, unlike devious Obamaworld, she would be his off ramp, a way for him to preserve what little dignity he has left.
Jason Miller, Trump’s Senior Advisor, is predicting that Hillary will make her move:
SHE’S RUNNING!!! These opinion pieces don’t happen organically – Crooked is on the move!!!

Hillary, in her own world view, is the most wronged woman in the history of wronged women. Obama stole the presidency from her. Trump stole the presidency from her. And then there’s Bill.
Hillary considers herself a natural born president.
Of course Hillary is trying to figure out how she can pull this off.
As the founder of this blog, I really would welcome the rematch.
DONATE
Donations tax deductible
to the full extent allowed by law.

LOL. Name ONE actual qualification. Shrillary is skilled at … nothing. She’s a second-rate lawyer who hasn’t practiced in decades … and, when she did, as with the Watergate hearings … LOL.
Shrillary’s only “qualification” is that she was married to Bill.
PEREGRUZKA!!!
Grifting.
She took grifting to a whole new level with the “Clinton Global Initiative”. If anyone has any doubt that CGI was a pay-to-play scheme, look up the donation numbers for the years she was the presumptive POTUS-in-waiting and the years after she lost to Trump.
She knows where the bodies are buried because she helped put a bunch of them there.
She’s good at losing to Trump…
Traitor Joe doesn’t care if the democrats win or lose. Not one whit. All Traitor Joe cares about is whether the dems can come up with the $100 golden parachute he’s demanding. That’s it.
Can we please stop pretending that Joe is making any decisions at all in the White House – except maybe what flavor of ice cream he gets, when he’s allowed to have any?
She wants to lose twice?
Three. This would be her hat trick.
Hildabeast packing on the weight cannot be in much better health than Sundowner
worse, remember when they had to toss her like a sack of potatoes into the scooby van on 9/11 because she just fell over for no reason.
Heh, heh….”no reason.” Remember all those videos of her falling down steps and having bizarre freezes and twitches? The emails, the destroyed phones, the open server etc., etc., etc.
She is bringing lots of baggage, and not just her butt.
Make it stop. The thought of hearing that harridan’s voice is giving me great agita.
Toward the end of the Thousand Year Reich, the German people developed a new slang word, “Gör”, as in Göring. It was a measurement of the energy expended by all German people reaching for the OFF switch off their radios when Gôbbels started giving a speech.
I foresee the “Hil”.
Absolutely anything is possible. But, Bill Clinton has more baggage than American Airlines, including one very problematic carry-on named Epstein. I just get the feeling the more powerful Dem donors want to turn the page on history and pick someone untethered to both Biden and previous scandals. Plus Clinton is old with her own health problems.
You know they’re desperate if they hold this thing up as their savior.
She would give her soul to be POTUS.
I know. I know. That’s a funny one. What soul?
she has no soul!
There was never a time when she wasn’t expecting to be the “alternative”. If she’s patting Biden on the back, she’s just looking for a good spot for the knife.
Hillary already has her campaign slogan for 2024 — “You Owe Me, America”.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
That is one bugger of a witches’ brew and curse for the country that you are summoning.
Subotai Bahadur
Would Jill and Kamala be the other two witches? 😉
Oh, please, please, please make the most unlikeable, snide, and pissy person the nominee. When I read the title by reaction was

It would be so much fun watching Hillary meltdown after losing again. Followed by prosecution for her crimes.
Bill diddling other women is understandable.
Problem is that with the recent SCOTUS decision the U.S. Attorney General can no longer appoint special prosecutors. They must be nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. And unless the republicans win control of the Senate that will never happen. Guaranteed.
If she were to run and lose again (as I am certain she surely would), then there would be no reason to go after her. She used pretty much all of her political capitol last time. Losing a second time would truly make her a nobody with no power or pull in politics. I honestly don’t know if she will take that chance.
If you are from Arkansas then it is pretty well known that Both Bill and Hillary have had their Mistresses and Misters. Their marriage was one of money and power, nothing more.
Hillary was just better at hiding her affairs than Bill.
the Dems wud love to find another obama .. not a lot of baggage or history in politics … not likely …
Hillary wud be funny …. esp. if they name here … and then Epstines list
is released …. ALL the names …
Hilary’s health was a problem in 2016. Only someone who stupid enough to have backed Biden in the past could believe that Hilary has improved since then.
I agree. But, they managed to lie and hide biden’s health until now. And there’s only a few months until the election. They might think they can pull it off.
they didn’t hide Biden’s health, everybody knew
And before the 2020 election.
That may be the poison pill – Trump need to put out word that he’ll insist on medical exams “in light of what has happened to Mr. Biden.”- America be immediately put into the same position it is now.
Can Ms. “Sack o’ Taters tossed in the truck” survive that? She can say that “She ain’t no ways tired” but her liver might not agree.
She might choose not to run if that’s a condition.
I have to admit however, sadly she’ll draw way more votes than Joe
Can see it. The Queen of Election Denial. The Godmother of Hoax. Stepping over Harris. What better way to expose the sheer hypocrisy of Democrats and their necessary forfeiture of leadership. Conniving is their forte, not serving the public interest.
I just threw up in my mouth.
Hillary lost in 2016, when Trump was an unknown. Conservatives worried that he was a NY Liberal parroting what he thought they wanted to hear. The idea of Trump as President was hard to imagine. And a lot of people found his bombast and idiosyncratic mannerisms off-putting, to say the least.
In 2024, Conservatives trust Trump. Everyone remembers what their gas and groceries cost when Trump was President. And the rest is all familiar now.
Not to say we can’t lose, but an 8-years-older Hillary doesn’t seem like a huge threat…
I think she would be a great candidate. Run Hillary run!!!!!
A dual purpose bumper sticker. On the back bumper or front…
That picture of the hildabeast wishing the first woman president happy birthday has got an addition forming a meme.
The addition is the kamel’s primary debate quote of “and that little girl was me”.
Nope. Hillary! is a white woman, and if Biden* is replaced it must be by a black woman. Otherwise the black supremacists will sit out the election – and the Communist fraud machine needs them to survive.
So how does a Harris/Abrams ticket grab you?
Seems bottom heavy.
Methinks that’s just another idle threat, just like all who said they’d move to Canada if Trump won
My suspicion is that the Clintons are making a big public show of support for Biden, so Hillary can’t be accused of submarining Biden when he drops out. Then the Dems can turn to the Dowager Empress herself.
The problem is that I don’t think the younger voters will accept Hillary. They will look at her as just part of the political gerontocracy, especially if the younger Kamala Harris, a minority, is passed over.
But she’s the woman who will never go away.
But she’s the woman who will never go away.
Like that turd that refuses to be flushed.
Lol still think it funny
Hil pushing aside a woman of color to try a second time..
Oh that will play well..
I need more popcorn…
I think it would go over very well particularly in big blue urban cities. Would make the summer of love look like a peaceful protest. You could have all kinds of competing rioters, BLM for Kamela, antifa for a communist candidate and Hamas supporters demanding the elimination of Israel as a Jewish state and death to all Jews. What a show.
“not just a good one but one of the most qualified people ever to run for the office”
She hasn’t half the experience at running that Adlai Stevenson does, and he has a much better chance of winning.
Good article, Professor.
As the founder of this blog, I really would welcome the rematch.
Why, more page views? 🙂
Seriously, this seems sickening to me. I think Hillary has the best chance of beating DJT, excepting possibly MO or BO (if he was adjudicated eligible).
I still remember that time where she stroked out or whatever and the SS chucked her in the back of the limo like a side of beef.
Then there was that time that she spazzed at a coffee shop or something, perhaps due to a photographer’s flash. The girl asking her a question was clearly taken aback.
Years of drinking, drugs, and whatever perversion she’s into have taken their toll.
I’m already seeing “opinion makers” on X drumming up buzz for Hillary. Some are spouting nonsense about her “having had legal problems, but she was exonerated by the FBI.” I remind them that she was not “exonerated.” FBI Director Comey merely recommended against her prosecution. If Hillary were to win the election, she could be impeached and removed from office for those same crimes, should Republicans ever have sufficient control of both houses of Congress. At least, with control of the House, she could become the first impeached woman POTUS.
Can an officer be impeached for offenses that are alleged to have been committed before the last election? Given Congress’s long-standing position (of which the Supreme Court has taken official note) that members can only be expelled for offenses that took place since the last election, wouldn’t the same principle apply to impeachment? If the people, aware of the offenses, chose to overlook them and elect the congressman/officer anyway, is it right for Congress to overturn their decision?
Hillary committed her crimes while she was Secretary of State. One of the purposes of impeachment and removal from office is to prevent the person from holding any future office of public trust. If Hillary committed crimes while SOS that Congress believes should have disqualified her from the presidency, I’d say, “Yes, Congress can impeach a president for crimes committed while in a previously-held office.”
The Constitution doesn’t prohibit it. The Dems have done worse. This is all the Constitution says on the matter:
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
It’s called hardball, Milhouse. Is it right for Congress to eject any person from an elected office via impeachment? The Constitution says, “Yes.” Impeachment can always be criticized as “defying the will of the people.” When impeaching a president, Congress, being an elected representative body, acts in that regard – for and in the name of the people. The POTUS is elected via the electoral college. It’s even possible for a minority of voters to elect a POTUS. Is Congress restrained as you claim under such a condition? In this condition, Congress could arguably be acting to fulfill the will of the people. This certainly counters your condition, and, as mentioned above, nothing in the Constitution prohibits it. Therefore, nothing prohibits it when this condition (“popular” election loss) does not exist.
1. Impeachment can only bar someone from holding an office under the united states, which means an appointed office. Congress has no power to bar an impeached and convicted person from elected office.
2. Impeachment for an offense committed since the last election doesn’t defy the people’s will, just as expelling a member for an offense committed since the last election. But since Congress has for well over a century taken the position that it can’t expel a member for an offense that took place before the last election (even though that’s not in the constitution), why doesn’t the same principle apply to impeachment?
Anytime someone wants to take up my challenge to reconcile what Comey said she did with the applicable statutes/laws and tell me she’s not guilty, I am all ears.
I’ve been waiting quite a while…
The fact that she was the source of the Steele document and the whole,russian collusion and the whole world knows it, would be a huge negative for her
Every thing up to this from the time of the Ark. State House to the White House topping it off with the underhanded, deceitful , manipulation of the Steele dossier should keep DNC thinking twice of giving any consideration to be on the 2024 ballot if they have any intent at all of holding on to the offices they expect to be filled by the candidates who are in their own states looking to be seated in D.C.
Unfortunately most of the world doesn’t know it, and won’t believe it if it’s told.
Well..if Biden dies in the next week…we will know why.
If I were Kamala Harris, I’d have my head on a swivel these days.
At this moment the Left is desperate to show an equivalence between its own encouragement of violence against the Right with what they claim is the Right’s similar encouragement of violence against the Left.
Also at this moment, the Left is desperate to remove Biden from either the Dem ticket or, if necessary, from office. But they are loath to do so because Harris, who is unliked and would not be a competitive candidate herself, stands in the way of Biden’s removal.
So the obvious solution to their problem is to “remove” Harris. How convenient it would be for them if they could blame the Right for her removal.
Who reading this doesn’t think the Dem party and the Deep State capable of this?
When I look at that picture of young Shrillary in her tweet to herself, all I can think of is the movie, “The Bad Seed”.
joe is terrible. But kamala or hillary are both WORSE!
It takes a family to raise a child. It takes a village to burn a witch.
“It takes my child to raze a village” 🙂
It now takes a village to mutilate a prepubescent child with gender “affirmation” vivisection.
It really only takes one parent with Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy.
IMO, there are three main factions in the d/prog; Clinton (uniparty) Obama (globalist) and Bernie/Warren (Occupy and lefty populist). Some overlap among them, enough that they can form a coalition for joint policy but not nearly enough seats at the grown up table where big decisions get made by those holding true power. Then there’s the tribal competition among the various identity politics groups and their grifter leaders who want their own slice of the limited pie. Tough task for the party that claims to believe in DEI/Equity to boot out the ‘unity’ guy in Biden then kick VP Harris to the curb and choose HRC as the nominee. No good way out the culdesac they entered in ’20 to ‘get/stop DJT’.
They’re in a horrible position. BUT, I think they looked at the potential primary field against the contested in current economic and global landscape and decided that a convention fight was going to be far more preferential than a bruising primary fight. Why? Because of the Bernie/Warren coalition you mention. Think about how far to the left every candidate would have had to move to placate the Bernie/Warren wing of the party. Look at the Israel/Gaza conflict. Both Bernie and Warren have called it a genocide. It would be impossible to suppress those kinds of voices and policy positions in an open primary. And even then, there would be no guarantee that they still wouldn’t have ended up with someone more evocative of a devout Socialist than the more mainstream (on paper) candidates that Biden/Clinton/Obama/Clinton have been.
If they had an open primary, every candidate they ended up with would have had to take disqualifying positions in the General Election. So, they went with Plan B.
So let me see if I have this Crowdstrike story straight….
No, you don’t. Every assertion in the post you linked to is false.
Someone explain to me how you replace Kamala with a white person.
I’m not sure that they would really want to, at least the more evil, forward-thinking ones. The Cackler gets the nod, whether through a Biden resignation or withdrawal, she loses badly, and then becomes entirely irrelevant in the Democratic Party.
She’s currently an albatross, and letting her take the nomination is easier than coming up with something worth bribing her to disappear. No issues with losing the urban female vote, either.
Easy. They pick a black nominee or a black VP to serve with a female nominee. Wes Moore or Ralph Warnock as VP would wholly sate the black caucus.
So some democrats think the way out of the mess they’ve gotten themselves into is to nominate a person that’s liked even less than Harris? Dear God, what are these people on.
Another first. Obama was the first gay president and she will be the first lesbian president.
Somebody throw a bucket of water on her, please.
Several years ago I had a brief conversation with a secret service agent who had the white house gig from bush 1, clinton ad bush 2
His comments were regarding working for the two bush’s and wifes were very professional, guarded and reserved as you would expect from a professional .
His comments on Bush1, bush 2, Barbara and laura were ” they were all pleasant to work with”
Bill clinton ” good to work with as long as you let him be the life of the party”
His comment on obama was that he no longer worked that detail, but what he was hearing from his collegues was that Obama was professional and curteous.
I then asked about Hillary – His tone and demeanor changed dramatically with the response he made about Hillary “- he said “she is not a nice person”
My guess is that there is a bidding war right now, between Hillary and Nancy Pelosi, for the nomination. What the nominal Democrat voters want has long since been tossed aside, especially because those vulnerable electronic vote tallying machines and mail-in voting are still in play, in enough jurisdictions.
Oh, and Crowdstrike has given us proof that the Dominion voting machines are connected to the Internet. Arizona just happened to have early voting disrupted by the Crowdstrike update.

This is Pelosi’s and Hillary’s last chance to control the outcome of a US Presidential election.
No at this point they know who they want. Right now they are delivering the message so it can disseminate before the convention. They knew who they wanted before they canceled the Zoom call to nominate Biden.
“My guess is that there is a bidding war right now, between Hillary and Nancy Pelosi, for the nomination.”
The Fates must consist of a virgin, a mother, and a crone.
Two crones are right out.
No, it hasn’t. Arizona isn’t even using voting machines. The machines that were affected are the ones that check a voter in, verify his eligibility, and print his ballot. Such machines are generally connected to a voters database; in places like Maricopa, where you can vote at any location in the county, they have to be connected, to prevent people voting twice. Once you’ve voted, the county database has to be updated immediately, so the next precinct knows about it and doesn’t print you a second ballot.
I can’t believe that anyone would want this miserable, dried up old scrunt anywhere near the WH.
But the Dems are a desperate lot.
“Hillary Clinton being promoted as the way out of the Biden mess”
Hillary is to Democrats’ political problems as
medically-assisted suicide is to Canadians’ health problems.
