Discuss.

I'm leaning toward the latter.

Thousand cuts. So many factors lined up, that the fact that she made it so close is incredible.

Comey then Comey again.  Also not noticing how motivated the rural vote was.

I'm sorry, but if she had never used a private email server to begin with, the FBI would have had nothing to investigate. We should have gone with Biden or Bernie.

I would like to know her reasons, but as long as they make sense I'd give her the benefit of the doubt.

I'm really, really curious about what a 'good reason' would be.

Using a f**king private email for official business as a high-ranking governmental office was incredibly stupid. We should all agree on this.

A thousand paper cuts over a twenty year period is likely to drain a lot of blood.

Urbanites are blind to the plight of rural people and now just want to just call them racist, sexist, or whatever names because they live in their own bubble.

even if i would just swallow that judgement and accept it as fact (i absolutely don't...much too simple and just scratching the surface).....how does this works the other way around?

the prejudices of the more rural parts of a country against the urban centers are practical a non-story and rarely questioned.
