All interesting stuff - I keep asking myself if I can remember any election year being this strange - I can't.. But then if you'd have told me that in 2016 weed was legal, more than 15-round mags were illegal, and Sig had made a striker fired pistol (that I really like), I'd tell you that you were nuts... LOL...
All of those examples are interpretations of a law or situation and nowhere close to the same as not holding an election. There is no process established which would allow them to not hold an election. If by some way they did I bet many would start voting from the roof tops.
Update from Clinton's doctor: Democrat is 'fit to serve'
The letter released Wednesday by the campaign stated that Clinton underwent a chest scan that revealed she had "mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia," according to Clinton's physician, Dr. Lisa Bardack, chair of internal medicine at CareMount Medical in Mount Kisco, New York. She was treated with a 10-day course of Levaquin, an antibiotic used to treat infections.
Bardack said Clinton is up to date on all vaccines, including two given to help prevent pneumonia — Prevnar and Pneumovax. The letter did not state when she received those vaccines.
"She is recovering well with antibiotics and rest," wrote Bardack, who also authored a letter about Clinton's health released in July 2015. "She continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as President of the United States."
Clinton, 68, has blood pressure of 100 over 70. Her total cholesterol was 189; her LDL or "bad" cholesterol was 103, and her HDL or "good" cholesterol was 56 — all within healthy levels and not signaling the need for any medications. She has also had a normal mammogram and breast ultrasound, according to the letter.
She takes thyroid and allergy medicines and the blood thinner Coumadin, prescribed as a preventative after she suffered a blood clot resulting from a 2012 concussion.
The blood clot, which was in a vein in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear, led Clinton to spend a few days in New York-Presbyterian Hospital and take a month-long absence from the State Department for treatment.
I don't believe that this is everything. They're still hiding something.

Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

No he doesn't. It would take an act of congress.
Unless there was some reason to declare marshal law over the entire US.

However they get there doesn't matter, only the consequences.
And what are those consequences again?
The only people who want Trump to be president are a slim majority/minority* of voters (where that line is we won't know). The world (sans Russia) hates Trump. Half this country hates Trump to include nearly all of the political class, most Congress-critters and appointed judges, and almost all mega-corps (globalism is good for business).
They have motive, means, and opportunity to disrupt this election.
I sincerely hope I am wrong and they do not. But I can't think of any other reason to run Clinton knowing all the flaws making her unelectable other than having an "out" that can be exercised with one phone call to either DoJ or the media. And I can't think of any other reason why the Dems only put up one serious challenger (Sanders) knowing all this in advance depriving their party (and America) of the ability to chose an electable candidate. O'Malley could have been that guy, for example.
* Including those us who look at Trump like a mixed bag but a much preferable option than anything the Dems can/will produce.
