I just heard Ed Rendell (former Democratic Mayor of Philadelphia and Governor of PA) say that Hillary wasn't running to win, but running not to lose. He then commented than people who run not to lose lose.

Hillary looks terrible on the campaign trail. Image is so important. IMHO, she has little shot at the presidency. Her window was 8 years ago I fear.

Those righteous and loyal Democratic party stalwarts are going to drop her like a bag of dirt.

I thought the Trump campaign will help the Democrats, specifically Hillary clinton during the primary campaign season. But not so anymore if he keeps this up. This guy is getting a lot of publicity and people tend to believe what they read if the responses are weak.
Quote:
“I think [Clinton] may not be able to run, to be honest, because this whole email thing is a horrible thing,” Trump said. Trump likened Clinton’s situation to General David Petraeus, who resigned as CIA director after his affair with his biographer was uncovered, and was later accused of having shared classified materials with her. “General Petraeus, his life has been destroyed. And he did 5% of what she did,” Trump said. “So assuming she’s able to run — which would be absolutely, to me, a miracle at this point — I will beat her.”

Colin Powell and Condi Rice using private emails in office is immaterial to the audience. Fact that they keep hearing over and over that this is a bad thing for Hillary matters since her trust issues will never go away. Clinton emails and the subsequent FBI investigation will cast a big shadow on her campaign. This is probably a good thing as support for her weakens and we can choose a more credible candidate. It's still early in the campaign season.

Actually the more Trump speaks in specifics the more stupid he will appear. He has the ability to move masses with his self-deprecating manner in sort of not taking himself too seriously and tapping into voter anger...and he is the first major GOP candidate to come out and say Bush was wrong on Iraq...

but just listen to his specifics he starts to sound like a maniac mad uncle.

I think Nixon gave approval to pay off money to the burglars so as to keep them quiet.
Hillary violated an Obama administrative rule and has given over the server. She has never denied having a server. I doubt you could get a an indictment on deleted emails.

You are sort of like Trump Cat the more you post the more silly you seem to be.

I thought you would enjoy that one.

I do admire your loyalty - you have bought your ticket and will stay on board to the very ignominious end.
