Will one bad decision by Hillary doom us all

Using a private email server...it's all the have...
But maybe all they need.

Every idiotic statement, devision. Lie, etc that trump makes is met by the media with a false equivalency to her emails....as if it somehow balances her and Trumps readiness and competence for the job.

We all know that is insanity.
But, that's what they have used to make this the horse race they so dearly want.
I am going to throw up now.

... at some point they have to call out what looks like someone who should be in jail vs the FBI dripping information about her email servers that change nothing.

even by street logic.

The media are continuing to do what has not driven viewers away. They don't care about who gets elected. They care about how many continue to watch.

There really is no such thing as free tv, cable and satellite services are starting to head for the dust bin. Mostly all those larger infotainment networks have diced themselves into oblivion. Even if they could somehow own enough of the government to judicate that they should be the exclusive of people's attention that still won't help. It's all old and stale

it would be something else.

The email "scandal" is just the chew toy for the media and the right wing pundits.

But, yes, it was an unforced error brought on, I believe, by Hilary's seeming paranoia... I say seeming because it's not really paranoia if they ARE, in fact, out to get you.

If Hillary had only used a government-operated server, the VRWC would be yap-yap-yapping about use of a publicly funded server for private communications.

The media and the Republicans do not accept the results of an FBI investigation?
