is that it doesn't matter if what she did/didn't do was legal or illegal or smart or not smart or ethical or not ethical. The ISSUE is the MSM has a bone and they're going to run with it throughout the campaign. If she's the nominee, it will dog her throughout the general which eliminates the "she's more electable" claim. Look at her disapproval ratings. The GOP LOATHE her and will come out in droves to vote against her. Plenty of progressives will never vote for her either. She has NO crossover appeal and the Blind Party Loyalists and big money isn't enough to get her to the White House.

THAT is the issue.
