It's been a long time coming. Since the Clinton email scandal broke almost a year ago, most of the discussion has been sunk in the weeds of "others did it!" "nothingburger!" "Benghazi political bonus point!" "over-classification!" "she said she was sorry!" "beat dead horses much?" etc.
reliably devolves into crap, because the goal is not to further understanding or enlightenment as one would do if one were discussing something concrete like how cancer cells mutate, but rather to further some political goal that underlies the conversation. So it's not honest to begin with. The goal is: I want my guy to win and I will distort everything you say or do in furtherance of that goal.
First, thanks to Nightprowlkitty for making the following illuminating comment in the essay I Don"t Need No Stinking Content:
The media wants to call it over. Hillary herself wants to call it over and move onto Trump. Trump also probably wants to call his race over and move along to Hillary Clinton. The media and everyone will ignore Bernie and start to focus almost exclusively on Trump and Clinton. Cruz and Kasich will be two baying hounds in the wilderness. Bernie will just keep on keeping on.
Being the knee-jerk liberal, unicorn loving, 4 Freedoms embroidering sort of Democrat that I am, when the story about Hillary and her server was broken over a year ago, I personally found it a disqualifier. I found the whole setup, used to ignore and subvert the concept of transparency, as well as the FOIA and legitimate Congressional oversight was repugnant.
