5. Everyone? Nah, just a little more than half of Americans hold her in a negative light

http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/09/02/new-poll-shows-negatives-adding-up-for-hillary-clinton-and-donald-trump/

The survey found that 53 percent of Americans now see Mrs. Clinton unfavorably, nearly matching the nadir she reached in April 2008 during her first presidential bid. Although 45 percent still view Mrs. Clinton favorably, the bulk of her support comes from blacks and Hispanics, while whites are taking a dimmer view of her candidacy.

That's not everyone, but it's way more than nobody.

But the problems with the server are widespread in government IT systems eridani Nov 2015 #98

So then anybody in govt should be able to set up their own mail server? frylock Nov 2015 #102

She should have. So should a lot of other people n/t eridani Nov 2015 #103

What are your credentials in the industry? frylock Nov 2015 #104
