NY Daily News: After latest email disaster, time for Clinton to drop out

"If the Democrats want to save themselves the indignity of a total slaughter, Hillary Clinton should drop out of the race. After last week, a Hillary-led ticket has as much chance of winning the White House as Trump has of losing the white vote. Sanders can beat Trump. And Hillary can’t — not anymore.

Too many scandals, too many years of Clinton fatigue, and now, after the latest email revelations, just too many lies chasing her like Van Helsing on Dracula."

"If the Dems didn’t have such a giant death wish, coupled with fear of the Clinton machine, the party leaders would force her to drop out."

than to have Sanders presidency.
Trump won't touch the status quo. Not by one bit.
Bernie, on the other hand, might actually turn their precious apple cart upside down.

Lifelong Democrat:

They also endorsed Clinton in the primary.

But like Chuck Todd and MSNBC and the WaPo they've copped on...

I was starting to think DU's Bernie supporters were the only people on this earth who could clearly apprehend what's happening.

Stasi is a very capable writer.

What’s more than real clear is that people love the reality of Sanders and the bluntness of the ex-reality star, but just can’t warm to the unreality of Hillary.

This captures something subtle but profoundly true. It's deep. And she writes for a rag like that??

If the Dems didn’t have such a giant death wish, coupled with fear of the Clinton machine, the party leaders would force her to drop out.

Is she reading DU? How many times have we said the very same things in so many ways? Stasi just sums it up in a sentence.

Yes, other secretaries of state have used private email addresses — they just didn’t have private email servers on their property. Huge difference.

Linda Stasi has been pay-ing a ten shun!

Then she matter-of-factly sums up the "Foundation" (why do I get a Godfather image?) and the Terry McAuliffe situation:

McAuliffe is being investigated for his ties to Chinese businessman Wang Wenliang, whom he invited to the Clintons’ house for a fund-raiser in 2013. Shortly thereafter Wang’s company pledged a whopping $2 million to the Clinton Foundation.

Last year, The International Business Times reported that, as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton cleared arms deals with 20 foreign countries (worth $165 billion) who also donated millions to the Clinton Foundation.

But hey, what’s a couple of bucks, bullets and brokered deals between friends and Emirates?

What a wonderful woman. Who is this woman? We need her. She doesn't bullshit. Her article needs to be picked up and reprinted by other news outlets.

Have you put this out on GD-P: Edward? If not why not?
