There isn't a caveat. It isn't happening. And while the emails reinforce my personal negative perception of Hillary, in the end, let's face it, we all know how it's going to end. Nothing illegal is discovered (the Clintons are too smart not to cross that line) and the Republicans will overplay their hand yet again turning serious concerns into a farce.
Hippie,
I think you underestimate the attack data yet to be released. It seems like Hillary has been in campaign mode for over a decade, but she never became the party nominee, so the best adds in concept were never shown.
People can have their own political opinions, but one thing they almost universally agree is they don't like
liars and coverups.
There is plenty of material already. For example Hillary privately tells her daughter is was an organized terrorist attack, then she tells the public a video sparked the attack. Can you see a commercial here? How about one that shows she took money from Iran, and used the Clinton's foundation for some questionable stuff?
Can and Hillary can't afford a higher negative rating? Maybe 3-5% more max. Then she's toast.
Her own words can sink her even if the legal investigation has not....YET. And I say yet because the FBI is on the case. Those guys are good. Let's be reasonable here if you or I wrote 30,000 emails might there be something objectionable on it in the public eye? Of course, and it doesn't have to be related to politics. This is read meat for those who want to attack her and a smelling garbage dump for those mildly support Clinton. Enough to make them not vote for her or stay home.
Once hit, Clinton has a way of making things worse for herself. It's in her DNA.
She also looks very old and has some medical issues.
Biden said he's out of time to mount a campaign. Perhaps that is true for now. But if Hillary is badly damaged are you telling me he won't give it a try if the polls and opportunity make time far less of an issue?
