A Hillary theme emerges?

She's said people are confused about her email issues, she's said candidates are successfully making appeals to voters emotions...she seems to be suggesting any issues she's having in the campaign are the voters fault.

these don't appear to be gaffes but firmly held beliefs. It's quite revealing, and suggests that in casting about for something to reassure her supporters she has found a new scapegoat.

Perhaps your negative view of her is making you only see what you want to see. Just some food for thought.

... there is simply no way some of these things she's being slimed with from the left can be walked back.

The rest will fade away since their posts will be irrelevant.

It's a trait that varies among people, some find admitting faults harder than others.

10. The email thing is stupid

What will bite her, however, is having the server wiped AND her admin pleading the 5th. Those two things make it look like there is a cover up. That's what sunk Nixon, the cover up.

Investigators, through frustration or just because they are being thorough, are broadening their interests to various Clinton associates. Having a lawyer isn't cheap, facing hostile questioners out for blood isn't a walk in the park.

There's real possibility that once again HRC will walk through unscathed, but once again some of those associates may end up wounded and scarred. That's also an unfortunate 'theme' within the Clinton unscandals.
