    And for the record, even the top secret email count means nothing at this point because we don't know the context of the information presented. If the context or substance of the info had reached the point of some great national security breach, we'd be hearing about aides, at the very least, having charges filed against them. Mentioning the name of a high-value target or a potential tactical location that was once in a top secret doc can make the new, derivative document top secret. If there was a "there" there, we'd be hearing about it.

    What can he possibly say that would hurt him at this point? He's trying, nothing seems to hurt him.

    You do realize who she's running against? Right?

    Yeah, and hopefully that's the only reason people are blindly falling in behind her as a candidate.

    It's a big reason, yes. Not sure it's "blindly" But yes.

    I think some people are going into it with their eyes open, and kudos to them for it. There are definitely others, though, who think she can do no wrong and would make excuses for her if she was actively emailing nuclear secrets to the Chinese.

    You're exaggerating wildly there to prop up your position. Ridiculous point.

    Yeah, well, that's politics. It's no different than Trump's "base."

    Eh, I thought it would be obvious. Much, much more. As in, a bigger point spread than Ohio State vs. Little Sisters of the Poor.

    She wouldn't have gotten to this point if she didn't have her hardcore followers who either don't care or make excuses for her shady behavior. There is probably nothing that can make those people change their minds.
