Fox News' Andrew Napolitano says that they now have enough evidence to convict Hillary on the email scandal; they're just waiting for the most devastating moment in Hillary's presidential campaign to spring it. But even if the whole email scandal doesn't fly with voters, this whole trade / jobs issue, which is the core issue of this presidential season, also has just as much potential to sink Hillary in the general election. Thom's reasoning is flawless, and this core issue, unlike the email scandal, has real substance to it, and cannot be dismissed by the Hillary campaign as pure partisan politics.
What the 2016 election season has proved to me so far is that, in spite of Citizens' United, corporate money in politics is not all powerful. It can't completely shut up the middle class in their overriding concern about lost jobs and disastrous trade deals, for example. And it can't prevent or nip a populist phenomenon like Bernie Sanders in the bud. But what it can do, which is probably much more pernicious and insidious, is to subtly warp or skew the dynamics and perspective of the political dialogue or discourse in this nation. And this may have disastrous and unforeseen consequences for the political life and future of our nation. No doubt about it, corporate money does have an insidious corrupting influence on the whole political process.
