Hillary Clinton

While the media and commentariat assail Hillary Clintons character by seizing on abstruse details of email servers and classification disputes, there are millions of Americans who dont give a damn about her emails and who worry about paying their bills and caring for their families. Millions of those Americans love and support Hillary.
Following are three stories from among millions that illustrate how Hillary inspires her supporters....

Perhaps the most absurd anti-Hillary talking point (and among the most common) relates to her compassion and humanity. How often do we hear that Hillary is cold, robotic and inauthentic and that she doesnt inspire people?
Judging from the stories above and countless others like them, that talking point is a total farce. Sure, half a billion conservative dollars can buy a lot of negative talking points, but no candidate could lead twenty others in a presidential race without inspiring people.
Let the media and commentariat hammer away at the email story. As Josh Marshall writes:
"It's worth stopping now and then and taking a look at just how nonsensical most of the coverage of the story is at this point. Beside the point that the relevant Inspector General has said that none of the stuff the DC press corps has been hyperventilating about can, by definition, have violated any law, you also have stories like this new one today from Bloomberg.
The Bloomberg story, like so many others in the genre, presents an incremental so-called development as deeply portentous, with grave warnings that others may decide this represents more bad news for Hillary.
When reporters produce numerous stories all of which suggest wrongdoing or dishonesty, people's impression of you will suffer. And there's no question it has. But every once in a while, it's worth returning to planet Earth and dissecting what these stories actually contain. In this case, good lord. Not much."
Buried in yet another New York Times story about Hillarys emails today is this:
"There is no evidence that any of the emails a small portion of some 60,000 that Mrs. Clinton sent or received as secretary of state were hacked or caused any harm to American interests, and law enforcement officials have said she is not a target of their investigation."
It's long past time for the email-obsessed media (click this link if you think "obsessed" is an exageration) to refocus on what really matters in this election.

(30,058 posts)Low. The GOP platform is lacking in reasons for getting votes. The other side of the coin, using RW talking point which have been debunked many times does not provide a foundation for other candidates, talking points can be passed back and forth, no building blocks there.

E-mails.....? Give me a F***ing break Don't we have more important issues?
