Some Top Democrats Are Alarmed About Clinton’s Readiness For A Campaign

Senior Democrats are increasingly worried that Hillary Rodham Clinton is not ready to run for president, fearing that the clumsy and insular handling of the nine-day fracas over her private e-mails was a warning sign about the campaign expected to launch next month.

Few Democrats believe that the revelations about her un­or­tho­dox e-mail practices as secretary of state are a substantive issue that would damage Clinton with voters, and many said she performed adequately in a Tuesday news conference defending herself.

But in interviews Wednesday with The Washington Post, current and former Democratic officeholders and operatives from across the country raised serious questions about her and her political team’s strength and readiness for a 2016 presidential campaign.

“She’s tried to put the day of reckoning off, but it’s come now, and I don’t think she can stand another couple of weeks of this without her structure in place,” said Jim Hodges, a former governor of South Carolina.

Some Democrats said Clinton’s initial refusal to provide answers in the growing e-mail controversy smacked of arrogance and a worrisome bunker mentality — and that the controversy was a self-inflicted wound.

2. Politically, the best way to put this behind herself is to turn over the servers to the State Dept

and let the agency fight off the Committee subpoenas. Of course, if it turns out that a substantial number of the 30,000 emails deleted are unrecoverable because they were permanently deleted, then this is never going to go away. In which case, she should step away now and let the Democratic party find another nominee.

3. You're probably right. Hillary has no one to blame but herself & her exercise of exceedingly poor judgment.
