It had more to do about party lines and people wanting to blame someone for their problems. Obama was the sitting president, ergo Obama was to blame.

In a couple years, someone will need to be blamed for their problems. Trump will be the sitting president, ergo Trump will be to blame. The question is how many disenfranchised come out for each side. (Although I don't think it matters, I still think he gets made a scapegoat and either steps down or impeached before the end of 4).

Quote: I think folks minds were made up given her history of posting on her private server and the deletion of 1,000s of emails after she was told to turn them over.


I've always said she lost the election the moment she called 1/4 of the Nation's voting population deplorable.

If people cared about the emails, they would have cared about the emails when Bush lost millions of them or when Colin Powell suggested using personal servers and phone lines. I may have missed it, but I don't recall Comey waffling on whether or not to charge Powell.

People only cared that "the opposition" was doing something. If it hadn't been Clinton doing what Bush and Powell did, it would have been Clinton not wearing enough flag lapel pins, her being a Muslim, her being anti-military, her being pro-Russia, etc.
