2016 Postmortem

...the FBI would still be after Hillary.
And Trump will start revealing all the opposition research against her. All the stuff that her acolytes have been afraid to face, and more.
And Obama is going to have to cut her loose at some point, or he will be dragged into the mudpit as well. And she will hang on to him, kicking and screaming.
There is no way this is going to end peacefully for her, in the way she wants.

(50,130 posts)It's all a bitter, reckless, selfish charade for at this point. Can she get the nom before Comey drops the hammer.
The only variable is the FBI's pocket watch. That is what none of us know or can control.

Why purposefully antagonize the situation?
The Clinton reputation for vicious vindictiveness on display. ..
It certainly doesn't inspire us to defend her when the shit really hits the fan...

The FBI will plod along as it does and should.
Trump will do a data dump on the Clintons and there will be little new information that we already don't know. He'll be stating the obvious. Those kinds of attacks only work when the electorate doesn't know the candidate. Both Hillary and Trump have nearly equal name recognition. Filp it around and imagine if Hillary started telling everybody that Trump has bankrupted most of his businesses, cheated on his taxes and cheated on his wife. The nation would yawn. We all know he's a scumbag, and there's a lot of people who seem to like it. Same thing will happen to Trump if he does a opposition research dump. Big yawn.
You are right however, this will not be a peaceful experience for Hillary or anybody else. The GE is going to be a nasty, bitter, and negative fight. Buy your barf bags now before they run out at the store.
