I'm OK with the strategy of just not spending time on...

... negative stuff. Hillary has a long history of learning how to deal with smears.

But if she's going to spend time addressing an issue, why doesn't she just tell the good story that she has? "Look, there were 30,000+ e-mails. Plus that many more on the classified network. Do YOU read ALL your e-mails through? None of them were marked classified in the prescribed way. The State Department did not agree with all other departments' classifications. What the fuck is the problem??? So I didn't notice that some people didn't notice/agree with someone else's classification. None of them impacted security. Give me a break!"

I've been a Hillary follower/supporter since she was at Wellesley. I have no problem at all with her handling of classified info.

But I do wonder why she just doesn't tell her good story.

Whatever she says will never be enough in their eyes. And the narrative that Hillary is a liar is now part of the journalistic canon. Would any other person be subjected to this? Would a male candidate be subjected to this?

At the end of the day, I think it's about gender. She is not allowed to move on or make a mistake;That's a priviledge that's reserved for male politicians.
