What I cannot deal with is the cowardly actions of the DNC and Democrats. Very few to almost none have come to her defense with this e-mail contrived conspiracy by those on the right. What really is nothing has been made into a controversial monster fueled by the media and those who are looking for her demise. If we had access to John Boehner, Rand Paul, Scott Walker, Chris Christie, Ben Carson's private emails, what would we find? Why not question others who have also used private servers? As soon as they finish with Hillary, they will start in on Sanders, O'Malley and Biden. Who will speak out and fight back for them? Surely, not cowardly democrats! I also acknowledge that Hillary has not fought back either. The daily coverage reminds me of buzzards surrounding a wounded animal. You 'gotta' love politics, toxic and corrupt. First, they came for Dean and Kerry and dems said nothing. Then they came for Hillary and dems said nothing. Now they have a free for all.

(19,326 posts)It gives the M$M SOMETHING to talk about -- beside issues voters care about -- on
the "Democratic side" of the primary coverage, while they cover Trump 24/7, and while they
completely ignore Bernie Sanders.
The too-few/too-late DNC debate schedule only makes things worse in this regard, because even
though it may in some ways help Hillary keep her lead in the polls, it also keeps issues voters
really care about OFF the airwaves, not to mention severely limiting coverage of Dem
candidates in general.
