The news about HRC isn't about her campaign [View all]

It's about perceived problems with the Clinton Foundation. Many warned, long before the Schweizer book was on the horizon that this would be a problem for her if she ran. Her supporters said that purported scandals wouldn't be a problem because all the skeletons in the closet are old and would be no problem.

It's not just the right wing; Common Cause is saying there should be an independent audit and several philanthropy journals and sites are also critical. Bullshit or not, this stuff is gaining traction and it's damaging.

There will be more

HRC will likely win the primary, but I believe she'll be vulnerable in the general.

I don't see that her campaign is off to such a stellar start.
