Clinton is a ready-made replacement. She possesses an unparalleled resume and an unmatched depth of experience. She has consistently redefined the roles she has served, from secretary of State and U.S. senator to first lady and Children’s Defense Fund attorney. Her extensive background in domestic and international affairs is not just impressive; at a time when global politics are increasingly volatile and complex, her experience is priceless. Her continued advocacy for children’s rights and health care—a topic of ever-increasing importance post-pandemic—adds another layer of appeal.
The most ridiculous part of all these hypotheticals is a really simple one: Does whichever random person want to run for president right now?
Think about it. You weren’t planning on it, you don’t have your organization set up, you haven’t been considering how you’d govern as president in the current climate, you’ve just been busy doing whatever it is you do in your day-to-day. Then suddenly wham, you’re the nominee now! Go campaign like crazy, try to win an election against a salesman, and if you win, wow! Six months from now, you’re president, leader of the country for 4 years with things like Gaza on your plate. Good luck, we’re sure you’ll do fine!
It’s completely asinine. Nobody in their right mind would sign up for that, it’s being set up for failure.
