Related: About this forumThe Email Scandal
My opinion is that the email scandal is made worse by refusal to be forthcoming with the reason for the private server, and not running full bore on that reason will cost her the primary.
I believe she used a private email server not because she was doing anything she needed to cover up, nor because the State department is antiquated, but because she doesn't trust the keepers of the keys.
Neither do the rest of us.
What better platform for a run? Ending the corruption which lead me to use a private email server.
Instead it is excuses which are obviously nonsense which not even the most naive among us could believe.
This leads me to think her run isn't about positive change in any way. It is about a personal legacy and making history as first husband and wife president of the US...something nobody else gives a single shit about. It may even lead one to believe it is about personal desire to exploit the corruption for her own benefit...either way, I can't support her in the primary because I believe strongly she is already covering up and lying, and I believe a lot of others feel the same...

(3,163 posts)She did it because... We either believe what she says, or we read her mind. I flunked mind reading in high school, so I have to settle for either believing what she says, or disbelieving it and settling for not knowing why she did it. Makes me look sort of stupid by some people's standards, but...
