Huffpo: Hillary Clinton's Email Problem Is Unsolvable

[jeff47]

34. My main complaint is the ineptitude.

Clinton's been hounded by Republicans for decades. Why the hell did she not think they would come after her for this? The Republicans literally searched her underwear drawer while she was First Lady, you think they're gonna go "oh, email? That's fine".

But no time machine, so she can't go back and undo the stupidity. How'd she handle the shitstorm? Poorly.

First, she let it percolate without a response. Then as it was dying down, she gave a non-response about State making those emails public - hey, the problem was the accusation you didn't turn something over to State. So she brought the story back to the front page without addressing the actual complaint. Either keep going with saying nothing, say you didn't break any laws, or offer to turn everything over to a neutral party.

Then the Iran letter issue is dominating the news, and she decides to hold a press conference. Again bringing the email story back to the front page, and pushing the Republicans off the front page.

The argument for Clinton comes down to experience - she's supposed to know what she's doing. This incident does not reflect knowing what she is doing. She is doing an utterly terrible job handling this non-controversy.
