[Magdalen] More USA Today.

[Molly Wolf]

 I don't think Hilary is perfect, nor is her track record error-free, but there seems to be a real sense of paranoia about her, a gut revulsion that I find impossible to understand and that I find queasy-making because it's so irrational. People _hate_ Hilary Clinton, and to us outsiders, it's incomprehensible -- the dark underside of American politics.  We in Canada hated Steven Harper for that same psychic darkness.

The point is that Clinton is exceedingly well qualified and has been vetted six ways from Sunday.  The alternative isn't Bernie; it's Trump, although Trump is busily shooting himself in the foot.  My once-high regard for Bernie has collapsed.

My understanding is that both Whitewater and the email "scandal", like the endless Benghazi enquirer, were more about partisan scandalmongerging than about anything substantial.

I still can't imagine why we've not seen any political cartoons likening  'Whitewater' - the Watergate cover-up of the Clinton White House -  to her email-gate.... which a federal judge has decreed as of today that those files will now be locked until the end of November - I read that as - until after the election. Sigh.
