Two of president Obama political appointments may cost Clinton the election

1. Comey as director of he FBI
2. Clinton as Sec of State (no email server)

Remember that Clinton was very popular & admired after the end of her 2008 campaign. I think if she was never Sec of State she obviously would not have had the email server issue which bought up her untrustworthy numbers. Trump also couldnt have railed against her "30 years of service" because she would have had an 8 year hiatus. America would of had Clinton nostalgia.

Matter fact, I remember at the time progressives were complaining about the FBI director always being a republican even the Democratic president's nominees

Further, HRC is not the type to take an 8 year hiatus. She would not sit idle and twiddle her thumbs.

Whatever she might have picked up and moved forward with would be turned against her by any GOP nominee. Or at least they would have tried.

Finally, please do not be weak-kneed about the current tempest. tRump's and the Republican Representative's premature ejaculations (see meaning #2) on the issue won't help them in the long run. At this point in the election, a week is a long run.
