Anyone else also tired of hearing about the Hillary Clinton e-mails?

I am a Sanders supporter but it has gotten ridiculous! Plus I don't like seeing our probable nominee facing such stupid attacks. I mean criticize her for not stating her positions more, but this is too much. Polls show the public does not care about the e-mails. Even MSNBC had to be turned off by me.

It clearly is NOT a scandal, like Benghazi and IRS and that gun Mexico deal, NO Scandals no matter how hard they try

Surely they can be talking about more important things.

It's one thing if they find something newsworthy, but it's obvious they are more concerned with creating a narrative of scandal when there isn't one.

It going to be rather long eighteen months here on DU. It may be more efficient to separate the chaff from the wheat on a poster rather than post basis.

This is a cable "news" issue. Outside of the beltway press and pundit class it's a big nothing burger.



"I was big Hilliary supporter but now I'm voting Santorum".

I try to not listen to garbage. Because Hillary has been accused of so much, so many times, with nothing forthcoming, I am extremely cautious about believing anything from her accusers unless there is substantial evidence.

PS. I also support Bernie as well as Hillary.

....and Andrea Mitchell is smarming searching questions of no import whatsoever, while Cub Reporter Luke Russert is trying on his serious face. Doesn't wash.

That is so true.

Andrea Mitchell: What time did Hillary Clinton wake up? Is she sleeping in? Might that be considered slacking off? Will she ever answer this question? Why is she avoiding speaking to us on her sleeping patterns? What is she hiding about her sleep issues?

and people just tune it out. Attacking and blaming the Clintons for everything imaginable has become an art form. Because its been going on for so long, it probably reminds most people of the old fable about the Boy who Cried Wolf, and they tend to dismiss it.

Even if where might be some nugget of truth, it probably gets no more than an eye roll and a shrug because no one believes politicians anyway, and Hillary's detractors have probably done worse things than what they are trying to accuse her of doing.

And, whether we want to think about it or not, in a tight race, the trust issue with Hillary could well decide the Presidential Election.
