With Biden struggling, will Democrats turn to Hillary Clinton?

Trial balloons are floating, suggesting that the Democrats may have a savior. You may remember Hillary Clinton.
She was Secretary of State when four Americans were murdered in Benghazi [September 11, 2012]. She used the Steele Dossier to help fabricate the Russian Collusion Hoax. She had an illegal server that she wiped – with a cloth! She’s an election denier.
And she may be on the ticket – if not to replace Joe, at least to replace one of his major liabilities, Kamala Harris.

The Democrats worry about the awful record of California Governor Gavin Newsom. They know that Michelle Obama is famous for not being proud of America. But Hillary Clinton! That’s different. When it was her turn to be president, Donald Trump stood in her way. Can they use her to save the Party from Joe Biden?

To understand the brewing excitement about Hillary, you have to think like a Democrat.
The Democrats don’t see her as the Republicans do – essentially as a whiny-baby who fumes when she doesn’t get her way. They see her in a totally different light: it was her turn to be president, and Donald Trump (and the Russians) stole the election from her. Since the Democrats have no bench whatsoever, the thought of reviving her moribund political career seems almost exciting.

Look at the upside! Hillary would solve what Washington Post Columnist Kathleen Parker calls our “old white men dilemma.” Note that Parker, a white female, is okay with dumping on white males. It’s all part of the new woke, DEI mentality. But Hillary! Now there’s someone beyond reproach. Even breaking multiple laws never became a problem for her.
But there’s a downside! Hillary may be more centrist than Ilhan Omar, but that isn’t saying much. She appears to support Israel, and that’s great, but she’s all about feminism, left-wing agendas like Climate Change, LGBTQ and DEI, and she’s not afraid to demean half the country. Her “basket of deplorables” comment, aimed at conservatives and trump supporters, soured millions of voters on her.

Hillary Clinton represents the Democrats’ “do something” problem.
The Dems are all smiles on CNN and MSNBC. But word is that in closed-door meetings, Jill Biden may be only one who really wants Joe on the ticket. They talk about his successes, but that’s laughable. His legislative victories have led to skyrocketing inflation and record high cost of goods. His withdrawal from Afghanistan may go down in history as America’s worst foreign affairs blunder ever. That’s saying a lot. The man is an incompetent, pathological liar with a record of failure that only Democrats can appreciate.

To complicate the Democrats’’ situation, Vice President Kamala Harris comes across as an un-serious diversity choice, who is completely unqualified to be president. That is to say, they can’t move her to the top of the ticket.
Obviously, the Dems can’t stay with Joe Biden. He’s got to go, or Trump will win and they’re afraid he will jail the biggest part of the Democrat establishment in DC. He likely won’t do that, but the Dems are biting their fingernails over it, and that makes them fun to watch.

So why not 76-year-old Hillary Clinton?
Damn it, Trump must have cheated, because that’s the only way she could have been defeated.
Thinking like a Democrat here: Nobody cares about Whitewater, the Rose Law Firm Billing Records, Asian fund-raisers in the Lincoln Bedroom, the Benghazi debacle, the Russian reset button, the antics of the Clinton Foundation, the illegal server, the Steele Dossier, or Hillary’s time as the head of the Bimbo Eruption task force.

Hillary Clinton has demeaned more women than Trump has had affairs with – but Democrats don’t care.

They understand that Joe Biden is done as a politician. He beyond bad. He’s pessimistic, mean-spirited, and as aggravating as a dog-faced pony soldier. His policies have failed utterly. His only successes are legislative or through executive orders and in virtually every case, have made Americans worse off.

So, don’t be surprised if it’s Hillary.
And it could be one of two ways. Put her at the top of the ticket and leave Kamala in place for now. Or shove Kamala off to be Attorney General (where we all know she’d be great!), and put Gavin Newsom in as vice president and hope he can rehabilitate his image while he’s transitioning so he can be a woman in time to run when it’s his turn.
The other way is a bit morbid, but would work almost as well. Kick Kamala to the curb, and install Hillary into the vice-presidential slot on the ticket. When Joe buys the farm, she’s in, and might be able to serve nearly ten years if Joe times it right. That would make her about 87 when Miss Newsom is ready to take over. Excuse me, I mean Mr. Newsom.
Look, most of the women in the Democrat Party are fodder for jokes.
Elizabeth Warren had her little fling with trying to claim Native American status. She became a laughing stock. Gretchen Whitmer has the kidnapping thing, which is still suspicious. Michelle Obama never was proud of her country until it elected Barack. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a standard left-wing Squad member – and the Squad is having some bad times, deservedly so.
But Hillary can seemingly do anything and get away with it. The Clintons are Teflon and she’s committed crimes that nobody seems to care about! She might not get the Deplorables vote, but that all right. The Democrats know how to win and Clinton may be the ticket. She’s experienced! She’s female! She’s a young 76 years old. She’s not Kamala Harris. She wants to be president! And she’s just about all they’ve got. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
