I don't really think it's because of the emails, so much.... (RE Clinton)

My husband loves Fox News a bit too much. I'm sitting here working and having to listen to yet another droning account of Clinton losing favor with voters because of the email scandal.

Who cares?


Truly. I do wonder who actually cares about the email thing in this day and age of social media and email proliferation. I don't think anyone who's not keen on politics and concerned for the wellbeing of the country's security gives a rats ass. [Yet Fox keeps drumming 'because of the email' beat]

So what does Clinton look like to voters who are seeing things from a different light?

I think they see an old rich woman they've been aware of their whole life who never did stand up for herself (stayed with a cheating husband) and who's just angry and bitter. She's dishonest: but about things like being poor. . . "she can identify with today's voters because money's been hard." That, I think, is her outward self.

Everyone knows she's one of the wealthiest women in the US and her effort to pretend to be living on a meager wage is pretentiously laughable - and people aren't buying it. Hillary cannot re-invent herself.
 
Speaking of e-mails. (it's not just the e-mails

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump walk into a bar and grab a booth. Donald leans over, and with a smile on his face, says:
“The media is really tearing you apart for that scandal.”
Hillary: “You mean the Mexican gun running?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “You mean SEAL Team 6?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “You mean the State Dept. lying about Benghazi?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “You mean voter fraud?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “You mean the military not getting their votes counted?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “The NSA monitoring our phone calls, emails and everything else?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “You mean the of drones in our own country without the benefit of the law?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “Giving 123 Technologies $300 Million and right after it declared bankruptcy and was sold to the Chinese?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “You mean Obama arming the Muslim Brotherhood?”
Trump: “No the other one:”
Hillary: “The IRS targeting conservatives?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “The DOJ spying on the press?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “Sebelius shaking down health insurance executives?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “Giving SOLYNDRA $500 MILLION DOLLARS and 3 months later they declared bankruptcy and then the Chinese bought it?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “The NSA monitoring citizens’ phone calls, emails and everything else?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “Obama’s ordering the release of nearly 10,000 illegal immigrants from jails and prisons, and falsely blaming the sequester?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “Obama’s threat to impose gun control by Executive Order in order to bypass Congress?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “Obama’s repeated violation of the law requiring me to submit a budget no later than the first Monday in February?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “The 2012 vote where 115% of all registered voters in some counties voted 100% for Obama?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “Obama’s unconstitutional recess appointments in an attempt to circumvent the Senate’s advise-and-consent role?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “The State Departmentinterfering with an Inspector General investigation on departmental sexual misconduct?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “Me, The IRS, Clapper and Holder all lying to Congress?”
Trump: “No, the other one.”
Hillary: “I give up! … Oh wait, I think I got it! You mean that 65 million low-information voters who don’t pay taxes and get free stuff from taxpayers and stuck citizens again with the most pandering, corrupt administration in American history?”
Trump: “THAT’S THE ONE!”

i dislike mainstream media. cnn/msnbc/fox are all the same; biased and designed to divide and conquer. fox is no worse than the others.

Private Email Server? Meh. That's one of those "boring, but important, in a technical functional way". It's just Example #1,437 how the Clinton's skate the edge of legality in order to advantage themselves and maintain control.



Sending Classified Information over private servers and storing it there where it was accessible to foreign intelligence services?

That's a very different kettle of fish. Hillary broke the same laws that Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden did, and she did it with some of our nations most closely protected secrets.
 
Hillary's said she's sorry about the whole email thing, so we should move on now. "Yes yes. (yawn) I murdered the sumbitch. Shot him in the head. Now, I've said I'm sorry, so can't we just move on? I made a poor decision. If I had it to make all over again, you know, I'd probably have stabbed that sucker instead. But I'm willing to put the past behind me with the admission of the mistake, and move on and I believe the American public is too. I'm not perfect. Nobody is. Aren't you ready for a woman as president?"
 
What particular subject HRC has lied (or is still lying) about is not really the issue. It is that she did (does) lie while insisting that she did not. Unlike Bill Clinton, Hillary will not stop at "I feel your pain" (expressing basic empathy) she tries to take that well over the top and say she that has had identical personal experiences. Her financial woes are as real as that sniper fire that she made up. ;)

Politicians.

The big hubbub over Clinton's e-mail has nothing to do with e-mail, but rather with trying to find SOMETHING to attack the likely Democratic nominee. The fact is all of the other old Republican attack lines can't be used right now (at least not nearly as effectively). The economy is much stronger, unemployment is way down, the stock market is up, Obamacare is becoming engrained in society, homosexual marriage is law and widely accepted, numerous Republican led committees couldn't find anything damning in the Benghazi investigations and the white population, as a percentage of the whole, is declining.

When those are some of the most key elements of your platform over the last several years, and you can no longer trot them out as you once did, you have to find something else to go after. So now we have the e-mail server thing, which Clinton foolishly let become a far bigger deal than it should have ever been.

And, let's face it...when you trot out an excuse like "I didn't want to carry two phones", you deserve whatever comes to you, as that is quite possibly the worst excuse ever for someone who rarely travels without an entourage.
