Voters Unlikely to Care Much About the Hillary Clinton Email Furor
NY Times ^ | March 4, 2015 | Brendan Nyhan

Posted on 03/04/2015 9:06:16 AM PST by C19fan

The report Monday that Hillary Clinton exclusively used a personal email account to conduct government business as secretary of state raises a number of important questions about government transparency and access to public records.

Unsurprisingly, however, the conversation quickly veered from matters of policy into ominous speculation about the political consequences for Mrs. Clinton, the Democratic Party presidential front-runner, including hyperbolic suggestions that the emails could “shake up the 2016 race,” cause irreparable damage to her, cause her to lose the general election, or even help force her out of the race.

This e-mail scandal does not provide any real new information. Voters already know when it comes to the Clintons the rules do not apply to them. Peoples view about the Clintons are frozen rock solid.

Most people that would support Clinton don’t care if their leaders obey the laws.
They believe the laws shouldn’t restrict them because they can inherently be trusted because they are so superior.

True, the media may try to downplay this, but Mrs. Clinton will have to face primary opponents both in advertising and debates. Any opponent that can't take this and beat her over the head with it until she is bloody isn't much of a candidate.

Damage control.

This one has legs.

Everyone can understand the danger to national security of what Hillary did.

The original story came from the AP (journ-0-lists).
So they may be doing the takedown of Hillary in favor of the Chicago Mob candidate.

This bitch could behead a kitten on national TV and you would still get women like these, wide-eyed and fanatical about her running for POTUS.

"Oh who CARES what she did! She's a woman and IT'S TIME for a woman POTUS!!!" Ding dong.

Oh yes, and the fruits will go for her as well......

“...matters of policy...”

Oh, I get it. We need to have a ‘discussion’ about how to ‘move on’...and forget its against the law.

and it was something small in his criminal history that brought down Al Capone. Maybe that will one day happen to the Clintons as well but don’t bet on it.

Everyone can understand the danger to national security of what Hillary did.

I disagree. Only a minuscule percentage of the voting population understands this. Most people who show up to vote do so out of what they perceive is a civic obligation and not because they care to educate themselves about the candidates or the issues.

Actually, what has come out so far does expose her.

More will come out as America’s mediots can’t control the internet yet, and these esposures are coming from out of this country.

However, nothing will be done because the NYSlimes, the Compost and LA Slimes and ABCNNBCBS will either not cover this story or downplay like this sloppy article.

The knee pad lovers of the Clintoons and Obozos will never turn against their beloved criminals.

Well, it would take constant hammering on the theme to get the voters attention.

But there is no excuse for what she did that would absolve her.
Add that to all complete failure as SOS, Benghazi lies, CLinton Foundation funny business—I see her a s more vulnerable than she ever has been.

This is a gift to the GOP, but as usual, they will miss it completely.
