27. I don't think she will be indicted. She is too powerful and too "in" for that.

But I do think that Republicans will build this scandal into a much bigger deal than most Hillary supporters could ever imagine.

There are people out there, even liberals, who actually believe that the Clintons had someone murdered or even did it themselves. Whatever the truth is about the e-mail scandal it will hurt Hillary, indicted or not, a lot should she be our nominee.

Her trust poll numbers are very low. And the innuendo about the e-mails and all the other Clinton scandals tend to be believed partly because there is truth in them even if they are not always entirely true and because people do not trust Hillary.

If Hillary is our candidate, it will, for most voters, be a question of which one is the least trustworthy.

If Bernie is our candidate, we don't have that problem.
