That said, I'm doubtful that the *email* situation is going to undermine her lead. Something else might. Something else could. But it would take a lot for the email "scandal" to do more than cause most voters to yawn. I'm not sure most voters even understand why this is a scandal. Because they've not been given an example of what classified info got out to whom or what it did to put the U.S. in danger. Smoke and mirrors can do a lot of damage, but if you go on too long with such a trick, as any magician will tell you, the audience might begin to see that it's just smoke and mirrors.
And so far voter suppression is being knocked down by the courts and may not be, well, as healthy as hoped by election day (again, not that this means we can sit on our laurels--we have to make sure all voters who want to vote for Hilary can and do vote for her, whatever lengths it takes). However, I think the next leg of this race will depend a lot on the running mates both she and Trump pick. The conventions are the next step, what happens there will let us know how much harder this fight for the White House is going to be.
