I think the quicker this entire scandal is nipped in the butt the less likely it will be to effect her chances. I mean if 6-8 months from now this story hasn't lost any steam...that won't be a good sign.
Plus remember this woman made news headlines by buying a burrito. Who knows how long the media will cling to this?
Now with that hacker apparently having 32,000 emails..they could release 1,000 a month and make that last 32 months.

In 6-8 months the only person who's going to care about Emailgate is TI.
Originally posted by dadudemonit seems kind of crazy to me that some people think this shouldn't derail her presidential campaign. her political career should be destroyed the same way that general patraeus's was.
Seeing Clinton's National Security violation (not necessarily illegal depending on what actually happened but we won't know that because it was wiped which doesn't look bad at all), corruptions, and inappropriate actions in a powerful government office is just a petty election ploy?It seems very serious. The simple existence of a "private server" is a problem, alone. But what happened and how she handled the fallout make it much worse.
I'm not part of a "GOP campaign against Hillary Clinton." Since I support Sanders for president, this is hardly an issue of me being anti-Dem. I just think Clinton is an atrocious person.

On the other hand I am finding that really most people actually don't care. By that I mean..they really don't care about issues like national security, etc. or anything else the specific case might entail. What they care about is "Hilary might of done something wrong".
I'm not condoning anything she may or may not have done, it is just something I noticed. Though I suppose this must be done a lot in politics.

So this staffer is like the master of female orgasms? Ok.In all seriousness, I think the consensus behind Hillary is that if Biden or Sanders get the nomination, that would be marvelous, but if Clinton ends up getting it, she's not the best choice, but she's only option they got.
This is a good statement.
Originally posted by Surturyea... no doubt.. it's business as usual. but unless we're going to stop holding politicians to some ideal standard... then why should she get a pass? i feel like if it were anyone else this would have easily destroyed their chances. anybody who thinks this shouldn't be such a big deal with regard to her presidential campaign... think of the next/previous occasion where a front-running politician from the republicans has a scandal that requires an actual investigation... would you be so forgiving then as well?

Sex scandals are like 10x regular scandals where voters are concerned. Unless your name is Chris Christie. That guy got screwed tbh.

It was a) a sex scandal and b) it seems pretty obvious that he did share classified (at the time of the sharing) information...also he resigned.
The FBI and Justice Department also brought felony charges against them, while Hillary is currently only investigated. An investigation is not the same as guilt.
