What’s funnier than Trump beating Hillary? Trump beating Hillary twice

Far be it from Cockburn to compare a former secretary of state to a venereal disease, but perhaps Fox News guest Anna Paulina was onto something in 2018 when she was blacklisted for saying Hillary Clinton is ‘like herpes’ because she ‘won’t go away’. Less than two years later Hillary is indeed back in the spotlight and endorsing Joe Biden for the presidency.
Hillary’s endorsement couldn’t come at a worse time for Biden. The announcement that Biden would be hosting a ‘Virtual Women’s Town Hall’ came just hours after the Intercept reported new evidence that seemed to corroborate the account of Tara Reade, the former Senate staffer accusing Biden of sexual assault.
Reporters immediately noted the tone-deafness of the timing. The optics became even worse when Hillary announced she would be joining Biden as a special guest, as she’s near infamous for publicly shaming her husband’s female accusers.
Hillary endorsed Biden during the livestream, speaking to his personal character with the cringe-inducing line, ‘I’ve seen him up close and personal now for many years.’ Cockburn couldn’t help but think that Hillary seemed to be angling for a power grab of her own. She was dressed sharply in a feminine turquoise blouse and blazer with matching earrings, plus a pop of bright pink lipstick, looking healthier than she had in years. It was a stark contrast next to Biden, who mumbled, looked down at the floor, and scratched his own face throughout the event.
Hillary even seemed to hark back to her own 2016 electoral defeat at the hands of President Trump, saying, ‘Just think of what a difference it would make right now if we had a president who not only listened to the science, put facts over fiction, but brought us together.’
‘I, like many Americans, really wish we had that kind of leadership now,’ she added.
Perhaps Hillary believes she will be tapped to take over if Biden’s mental issues become too much for the Democratic party to bear, though Cockburn noticed she still has the lingering cough that plagued her in 2016. Maybe she thinks she still has a shot at being picked for vice president.
The Democratic party may be eager to swap in Hillary if it means avoiding the cognitive meltdown sure to afflict Biden during a debate with Trump…but surely the Trump campaign is also eager for the chance to stomp Hillary once again.
It’s still four months to the Democratic convention … if it happens --- that is.
Insider: Hillary Clinton-Barack Obama Ticket Could Replace Joe Biden Democrat operatives worried about Biden's China connections, sex assault allegations, cognitive decline

Panic over Joe Biden’s viability as Democrat nominee for president has begun sweeping through Democrat circles, with some suggesting that Hillary Clinton could jump in to replace him with Barack Obama as her running mate, according to a Washington insider.
Douglas Mackinnon, a former writer for presidents George H.W. and Ronald Reagan, penned an editorial for The Hill on Saturday revealing that many Democrats are secretly worried about Biden’s presidential prospects.
“Some Democrats tell me they fear that Biden’s political survival is getting more problematic with each passing day,” Mackinnon wrote. “They cite three main issues. The first is their concern that an allegation of sexual assault leveled against Biden by former staffer Tara Reade won’t go away anytime soon. If anything, it appears to be about to gain a new life.”
“Next, they worry that another shoe could drop regarding questions related to Biden’s son Hunter and his business dealings. Lastly, some Democrats are concerned about Biden’s age and possible cognitive issues — a concern that some also have expressed about Trump.”
Mackinnon then says Clinton and Obama could swoop in to save the nomination, simply because the left views such a ticket as formidable against President Trump.
“Who might be in consideration to become the new nominee — and who would be selected as the vice presidential running mate? Several likely combinations come to mind, starting in many minds with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, but one particular, truly out-of-the-box combination stops the discussion in its tracks: Hillary Clinton as the nominee and Barack Obama as her running mate,” he wrote. “Some Democrats have confessed to me that having Biden drop out, for whatever reason, might not be bad news since they aren’t convinced he can beat Trump in November, despite polls showing him in the lead at this point. And they believe (perhaps a bit wistfully, in some respects) that a Clinton-Obama ticket would be a nightmare for Trump.”
Though the Constitution’s 12th and 22nd Amendments could present a hurdle for Obama to be reelected the White House, Mackinnon says Democrats would nevertheless try to make it happen if Biden failed to bring confidence to the party heading into November.
“The operative word here might be ‘elected.’ If Obama were selected as Clinton’s running mate, and she had to leave office for any reason, then Obama would succeed her."
