There has been a huge cry from People Who Would Never Vote For Hillary In A Million Years over this new email scandal which involves … well, I’m not exactly sure. Apparently, Hillary Clinton used her own personal emails for her own personal business.
You can see why this makes her unqualified for the Presidency. That was sarcasm.
Seriously, this is the kind of “scandal” that appeals only to Republicans who are searching for anything they can be outraged about. You remember Republicans — they’re the ones who yawned when millions of legitimate governmental emails mysteriously disappeared in the Bush administration during an investigation, which seems clearly to be a violation of the law. Hillary’s email problem, according to these Republicans, is much different. Hillary violated an internal policy. Sure, it’s not the same thing as actually breaking the law, but it’s at least as serious as not abiding by the Employee’s Handbook.
This is the kind of thing that is really only understood by nerds anyway. I mean that with no disrespect, but not using the right email? There’s nothing sexy about that “scandal.” No one cares.
As Democratic consultant Paul Begala said, “Voters do not give a shit. They do not even give a fart … Find me one persuadable voter who agrees with HRC on the issues but will vote against her because she has a non-archival-compliant email system and I’ll kiss your ass in Macy’s window and say it smells like roses.”
This “scandal” just makes me think Hilary is old. Common issue.
Another common problem is trying to get old people to not write all their passwords on one card and keep it next to their driver’s license. (We all have that one person who tapes it to the monitor. Always someone who is way too high ranking to reprimand properly. Always someone who calls six people to their computer before calling someone who actually has a clue.) Considering she didn’t do that, I’m just happy she used email, my only concern is if it wasn’t as secure as the email she should have used, but since it has not been found to be the cause of Benghazi, I’m fairly certain it is fine and really just the boring record keeping policy.
