(2,753 posts)the correct frame is :"Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones".
And, "one is not equal to the other".
Essentially your logic runs like this: Clinton has too much baggage so let's find this "less baggage" candidate to replace her, even though we do not know who that person is nor do we know if they are qualified or even have the drawing power to be elected. Also see, "a bird in the hand, etc..."
Like it or not Ms. Clinton is way ahead in the polls. She is the most electable candidate the Democrats have. As you say, most of her baggage is fictional, so you are also saying that because the GOP is making up shit to tear her down, we should simply drop her from the candidates list. Uh, the last thing we should do is let the GOP tell us who to run for office.
I say let the GOP fling mud. They are already on shaky ground as it is, and they are already making fools of themselves, so let them fling, and make even bigger fools of themselves. I can guarantee what will happen is they will fling the wrong piece of poo, and it will come back on them like an atom bomb, and lead to an expose that will drive the last nail in the GOP coffin. Clinton is no dummy. You say how she turned that email press conference right around and took control of the press corps. She has experience fighting the GOP smear machine and is ready for a bloody battle. Much has changed since Ken Starr, and the GOP does not see that, and this will cause the GOP to fail at their smears and innuendo.
