The unfortunate thing here is I don't think either candidate will really care about any of this.. it's a dangerous and reckless situation all around. I tried looking around for some context.. this article is pretty on the ball if you ask me:

I completely agree, and glad to see someone link to a NR piece, which has basically been a bastion of anti-Trump think-pieces almost since the beginning, and has kept on smashing charges into Trump's flank.
Yeah, the real issue here is that literally nothing matters. It is not White Knight vs Black Knight. It is deeply flawed candidate vs deeply dangerous candidate.
That's why the Clintonian partisan nonsense blows me away. This woman is not a hero! She is a pure political opportunist who is using the moral and political chaos of this election to take power. How can anyone not be blown away by this cynicism?
Look at her statements on gay marriage. By her current rhetoric, she would have been a deplorable homophobe as recently as 2013!
