If she gets the nomination, democrats and other sane people will give her the benefit of the doubt and vote for her. Most will consider it a bunch of nonsense anyway.

They certainly aren’t going to vote for a republican.

This issue is so inside baseball that it’s difficult to be able to decipher whether or not there was any wrong doing. The problem is that whether it’s something horribly negligent or innocuous, it just sounds bad. As a Clinton supporter, I could wish for better times for this story to drop, but if it’s going to come out, I wish they’d just get it all out at once instead of this death by a thousand virtual paper cuts.

The only way this changes anything is if Rubio becomes the Thug nominee. Both Trump, Cruz, and Sanders are ultimately unelectable. Clinton can pull through this only if Rubio doesn’t appeal to the unclaimed independents who will decide this game.

If it’s Rubio, that boy will have his day in the sun and he’ll get burned.

this could be problematic:

In another recently released e-mail, Clinton instructed Sullivan to convert a classified document into an unclassified e-mail attachment by scanning it into an unsecured computer and sending it to her without any classified markings. “Turn into nonpaper w no identifying heading and send non-secure,” she ordered.

The NYPost ? You expect anyone here to take anything from that right wing rag seriously? You couldn’t find a more mainstream source?

You missed the memo- this is a feature, not a bug, of the current media plan.

It does no good for any of the usual suspects to definitively answer the questions that keep providing click-bait.

Like most folks I know this stuff is complete BS; conversely I also know that this will disappear faster than Ebola once the election season is over.

I’m thinking the race for the Democratic primary and then the general will be a lot closer then people are willing to admit.

The New York Post is not my go to source for, you know, truth.

I read this article to mean there is a huge ongoing review by the State Department and/or the FBI, determining whether any of the emails on Hillary Clinton’s home server should have ever been classified in a different category than it/they had been in the past. The review got underway because of a Freedom Of Information Act request.

My understanding is this: At the time, NONE of the emails on Clinton’s server is/was labeled anything other than something innocuous but not “Secret,” “Top Secret,” “Classified,” etc.

Fine, re-evaluate all you want. Re-classify all you want. Retroactively applying new classifications will also apply to those nice folks of the GWBush Administration. Wanna open that box of worms?

so she’ll have experience with having ‘top secret’ info in her residence when she’s president.

That’s true,but all things considered I’d still rather be a Dem in the 2016 POTUS election. After 1988,the only Repub to get more than 50% was GWB in 2004 and he only got 50.7%. He did that by getting 44% of the Hispanic and Asian vote and 11% of the black vote too.

FOX: Say Hello to President Trump.

Doesn’t matter what you or I think, what matters is how this plays to the masses of people who will slowly become more and more disenchanted by Clinton. They’re still not going to vote Republican, they just wont vote at all. Enthusiasm is the thing here, and as we know too well, a large number Democratic voters need to be enthusiastic to make the effort to go to the polls.

Frog: It isn’t helpful to the conversation to inject the name of an author who is neither one of the reporters on the AP article or a cited source. Relevance please? Or is this just smoke?

He did that by cheating. Ohio counts, in particular. I know it makes no difference now, but I will never believe GWBush was ever elected President – ever.

I’m hesitant about predicting results with only 6 data point in that set.
