Some pretty good points made in this article, basically saying this latest email scandal will actually end up being a positive for Clinton, and will only further galvanize her supporters. It might just be wishful thinking on the writer's part, as it's obviously a pro-Dem website. But he does make a decent argument. I guess we'll see if he's right once the next batch of polls are released.
Quote:
Since it broke in March of 2015, the email story has been covered in major news outlets for SIX HUNDRED DAYS.
We’re talking big media outlets, not blogs or local papers: AP, CNN, CNBC, Fox News, New York Times, Washington Post, etc. And more often than not there were multiple mentions across the national media on each of those days.
A Monmouth poll conducted in August found that 63% of Americans are tired of hearing about the issue. I suspect that number has only increased.
In the aftermath of a widely-panned NBC forum, the Washington Post said this:
Judging by the amount of time NBC’s Matt Lauer spent pressing Hillary Clinton on her emails during Wednesday’s national security presidential forum, one would think that her homebrew server was one of the most important issues facing the country this election. It is not.
The American people have a sense of proportionality. 600 days on emails to the exclusion of issues that affect their daily lives makes them more inclined to support Hillary Clinton, not less.
FBI Director James Comey may be under fire for dropping a cryptic letter about the emails 11 days before the election, but the letter is more likely than not a gift for the Clinton campaign.
Trump and the GOP are sure to overreach. The jolt of a new round of unhinged attacks against her will further energize her supporters to go to the polls. And if 600 days of relentless email coverage didn’t derail her, 10 more days won’t do it either.
