unless the candidate themself bows out; you can't ditch them over a temporary illness (not sure you could ditch them at all, but certainly not over temporary illness)

Is it even possible for them to do this? My understanding is they can't get on the ballot in most states at this late stage. David Shuster is an unemployed hack, you can pretty much ignore everything he tweets.
Didnt he get fired because he said something stupid about Chelsea and had some verbals with Hillary Staffers defending his insults ?

Dr. Jill Stein, the Green Party's candidate for president, said Sunday in Iowa that she would not have assassinated Osama bin Laden but would have brought him to justice for his role in the attacks on the United States on Sept. 11, 2001.
“I think assassinations … they’re against international law to start with and to that effect, I think I would not have assassinated Osama bin Laden but would have captured him and brought him to trial,” Stein said.
Bin Laden, the founder of al-Qaida, was shot and killed by U.S. special forces during a raid at a residence in Pakistan in 2011. The Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, and a failed attack that downed a passenger jet in Pennsylvania, killed nearly 3,000 people. Today, tens of thousands of people have become ill and thousands have died from illnesses attributed to the attacks.
Stein made her comments in an interview before her first Iowa campaign appearance, a rally that attracted more than 150 on the grounds of the Iowa State Capitol. The organizer and several of the speakers were former national delegates of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. During the rally, Stein argued for a renewable energy and jobs program that she says would eliminate fossil fuel use in the U.S. by 2030.

She said that on 9/11?

That will never happen. You will hear no one but the reporter speculating this.

Jeremy Corbyn (leader of the UK Labour Party) has said the same previously. It's not a completely baseless stance, the way we show we're better than these people is by doing shit by the book. If we had the opportunity to take him alive, try him for his crimes and then execute him, there is certainly a case for arguing that we should have done so. However I don't disagree with the course that was chosen, trying him risked martyring him.

The RNC movement to get rid of Trump failed, and Hillary has by far less opposition within the DNC thanks to her connections than Trump in the RNC.
There's no way it happens, as much as we might prefer alternative candidates.

In the context of how the raid went down, they didn't have much of a choice. They were already pretty pressed for time because being a few minutes away from an airbase in a foreign country that didn't authorize your presence, is not a scenario you can operate slowly in.

The only way it happens is if Hillary herself wants to step down because of health reasons. Possible, but very implausible.

This is why the Stein/Sanders comparison is inapt, this is just being politically tone deaf for no reason. It won't gain her any votes and will just make those not in her party view her in a hostile manner. I mostly agree with her, but this is just an awful way to frame the statement unless she's purely look to draw attention for controversy.

I know. I said as much here If we had the opportunity

I feel like they could have manhandled him and if things started to go south put one in his brain and take the corpse. But I've also got zero problem with how shit went down either.

Would have worked great if he happened to have a suicide vest on. Or if they mistook him for anyone else during a very rushed raid in the middle of the night.

I heard he was holding an AKS-74 when they kicked in his door.

Yeah, a big chance it's a huge white lie, people who take that at face value are gullible lol.
I wonder how much of an impact it will cause, this event plus the calling 25% of the USA deplorables. We're getting not too far from Trump in primary levels with this kind of language.

Not all of us can be the free thinking people who get their news from Infowars.

Yes, we all know there's very low chances for an old person to get pneumonia, she probably has megaebola

Ive had pneumonia before. if she really did have pneumonia, should have announced it weeks ago and just make press statement that she';s recovering from it. Why would you hide it for this long if true?
