38. I don't know if she will hurt it or not.

I've always sort of thought she was a real asset. Would make a great SOS with more experience.

My only concern about her is if Trump is the candidate he will make a big deal about her being a Muslim, her family being way more into Islam than the average muslim, and their ties to other Muslim orgainizations.

That he will sort of cast her as the ears of Isis being right next to the president, and try to make that stick.

Also as the VF article mentioned the Clinton organization sort of went out on a limb to make sure she was living in comfort after her husband lost his income which sort of puts a slight taint of the whole Clinton organization on an otherwise pretty clean person.

By far the most dangerous thing in the current climate I think is the fact that she's a Muslim from a very Muslim family, who will be very close to the president, and then when you read the emails it's almost like Hillary totally depends on her, and everything has to go thru her Muslim aide to get to her.

Which I don't care about. I'd probably vote for Aberdin over Clinton but I can see the Trump people making incredible hay with her.
