Combined with Trump's flameout, wouldn't it be interesting if something is found in the leaked emails that renders her unelectable?

Suddenly, neither candidate should be president, in the national consciousness. What would happen then?

Please address the hypothetical (suddenly neither candidate can be elected) with your responses. There's plenty of other threads where you can support your particular favorite.

Flame out?

Each political party has a process for selecting a new candidate if their current candidate dies, resigns, or becomes incapacitated. The Brits hold elections with limited campaigning for Parliament, I think it's 6 weeks. I don't see why we couldn't do it in a month. Congress could change election day if necessary, but under no circumstances should they change inauguration day--not by even one minute!

I'd think such an occasion would be unprecedented. I feel that HRC would be the first person to be taken out of the election. As far as Donald Trump, I don't feel he should be eligible, but at the moment, there is nothing saying that he isn't. Neither candidate is a good choice in my opinion. There should be some contingency in place when no candidate is worth electing - instead of forcing the American public to vote for (in all honesty) two horrible candidates. Yes, there are other options, but none which will generate enough votes to stand a real chance (in my opinion.)

Kick the current guy out under the 8 year limit, let the Vice President stand while the American public holds another election. No bipartisan BS - just an open election.

That would be interesting but same political party as the President and the old "good of the country" excuse. I would guess a pardon would be issued at that point. However, don't think her term will be scandal free if she gets elected, I have pretty high confidence the past behavior won't change.

Trump would have to commit and be charged with a Felony to become unelectable so would Hillary. I believe that is the only barrier to the office at this point.

I don't care what new email comes out, IMHO, there is plenty out today that makes her unelectable.

From my perspective at least, both of them have been unfit for office all along. A pox on both their houses.

Trump will win in that case. His supporters are diehard and will vote for him no matter what. Many Hillary supporters dislike her but believe that she is the better option then Trump. Their vote involves holding their nose amidst her numerous scandals. The question now is who will burn out quicker.

This is why we need a viable 3rd party. I would love to have 2 new choices.
