Yeah, I don't get the hand-waving. This is a thing. Just like the audio recording of Trump bragging about his sexual assualts confirmed what people already knew, these emails/videos confirm that the Clinton campaign is a cynical political machine that will win power at all costs with absolutely zero principle.

This is not enough to make her lose the election (I believe the Trump recordings are sufficient for that purpose), but it will impact her presidency to the extent that many Americans don't trust her, many Americans are voting for her to stop a potential Trump victory, and it will hamper her effectiveness.

That said, the real story is how much Trump has destroyed upstream and downstream GOP candidates. If the Dems take the House, then it doesn't matter whether or not Clinton is POTUS.
