Lyndon Johnson legendarily said: "I looked it up. One in four presidents dies in office. I’m a gambling man, and this is the only chance I’ve got."
Hillary may be thinking that, too. She has openly talked about assassination lately.

While I’m not a fan of Ms. Clinton, I think this sentiment is a bit naive and unfair.

Hi David,
.
I will cop to being a tad mean-spirited and not entirely serious in this post, hence the "fun" tag. Hillary has a tyrannical personality but I don’t really imagine she’d attempt a coup d’ etat from the Veep’s office.

OTOH, Hillary’s behavioral track record for the last forty years is not one filled with shining examples of fair play towards others or those who have less power than she does. As a result, she can expect to take her lumps in return.
