    It wouldn't be Kaine though. Surely it would have to be Bernie Sanders, as he had the next highest delegate total. Maine didn't even run.

    The thing about the 'most corrupt' line is that it's more like the most PUBLICIZED and SCRUTINIZED corruption. I'm sure she's plenty 'corrupt' but a large portion of what makes you perceive that she is the most corrupt politician in the history of American politics is witch hunts in the modern era of mass 24/7 media and internet.

    I don't think she's the most corrupt politician in our American history. There have been more corrupt presidential candidates in our past. It's just there weren't 13 senate hearings about one incident that was shoved down our throats or leaked emails.

    I am just going to come out and say if we end up with a Trump presidency, I will stop posting. It seems unreal this is the moment we will look back at.

    They can't get him. He's already left the Democrats :).

    It will definitely be a concern until 2020

    Because DWS and the DNC rigged the nominating process in order to make sure Hillary was the winner. If the DNC now turns around and hands the nomination to an establishment moderate who did not even compete for the nomination, that will only serve to reaffirm that these people are every bit as corrupt as they have been accused of being, with all of the controversy and vitriol that would surely go with that.

    Suffice it to say, this would not be a good look for the Democrats.

    I would like to believe that we'd actually get a new choice (can we get a mulligan?) but I think we are stuck with the worst 2 candidates of all time.

    I would be happy if you stepped down for health reasons so long as there is time to put someone else on the ballot. I could see Republicans fighting hard to stop that and try to win the election by default.

    Also, people say Hillary is corrupt but no one has named one instance of corruption against her. I think people need to actually list out what she did that is corrupt.

    Wall Street speeches and the Clinton Foundation - neither have show a single instance where she took or gave money for favors.

    There are those that knows she is corrupt, but will vote for her anyways.

    The only people who don't see any corruption are those that have their hands over their eyes and in their ears.

    There are many examples of corruption. Since you brought up pay to play, I'll show you a leaked email where they actually used the words pay to play to discuss favors.

    People who vote for Clinton = low information voters.

    If you knew what Pay to Play meant in that context, you too could be a high information voter.

    I wish Bloomberg would step in, but that isn't reality.

    Kaine wont beat Trump...Too unappealing even as a VP candidate...

    Sanders though may have a chance.

    I wouldnt vote for him...His policies are too extreme. But the dude has real charisma...Too bad he sold out his platform for Hillary Clinton.

    Clinton still has a very good chance of topping Trump. If you lose(ing) to Clinton, you're a pretty bad candidate.

    Kaine is a good enough candidate for the "Anyone but Trump or Clinton" train.
