How much of a non-starter is this "scandal" of the week??

Discussing the "Man Who Drove a Wedge Through the Clinton Dynasty"..which is hyperbolic by itself..

This seems like they were really digging to the bottom of the barrel on this one...

Also if you are looking for a nice cringe worthy, throw spaghetti against the wall style approach watch this clip from last nights All In..

Honestly I was shocked about some of the insane extrapolations, one about how the only reason President Obama won in 2008 only because of some imagined infighting power grab by "The Clinton Organization", others about how Hillary is damaging her image by helping the CGI. Or how shocking it is that you donate to the CGI and Bill will back you..I mean he isn't a politician anymore, whom he backs and why are totally up to him...

Why is the media all ready stacking the deck against Hillary?

Am I missing something that makes this a big deal?

It is hard out there for an attention media whore.

About half way through I knew how it would end... Hillary and Chelsea would run him off. Sure 'nough.

I think CDS and ODS is sort of entertaining and certainly exposes the trolls among us.
