Mike Huckabee believes the Democratic Party will replace Hillary Clinton as its 2016 presidential nominee if she is unable to "wobble to the end zone for a touchdown."
And, adds the former Arkansas governor, her supporters are beginning to realize it too.
"It's been interesting to see die-hard Clinton supporters in the media … do an about-face on the matter of looking more closely at Hillary's health," Huckabee wrote on Tuesday on his Facebook page.
"Of course, in their minds, doing so is, in the long run, critical to the health of the Democratic Party, which they care about even more.
"If Hillary can't wobble into the end zone for a touchdown in November, they've got to formulate a strategy to sideline her quickly and put a back-bencher in the game — someone who has a better chance of beating Donald Trump."
Clinton is taking a break from the presidential campaign following her abrupt departure from Sunday's 9/11 memorial in New York City during which she felt faint. It was later revealed she is suffering from pneumonia.
"Ironically, the hush-hush tactics of Hillary's campaign may make it easier for them to [consider a replacement]. The more secretive it is about her true health issues, the more fearful Democrats become that she's suffering from something really debilitating," Huckabee said.
"Speculation is running rampant about the type of respiratory problem she has and why she would risk coughing her germs on donors and fans."
