The back-to-back Clinton controversies are making Democrats queasy.
At a time when more than a dozen Republican presidential hopefuls are jostling each other in New Hampshire and Iowa, this should be a great moment for the virtually unopposed Hillary Clinton. She could be staying above the fray, using the time to staff up and prepare her policy agenda. But that's not what's happening.
Instead, she's fending off a pair of controversies — one on her use of a personal email account (linked to a server in her home in Chappaqua, N.Y.), while she was secretary of state and a second on the Clinton Foundation's fundraising from foreign governments. While we await an expected Clinton "conversation" later this week about them, here are some reasons why Democrats are freaking out about Hillary Clinton's current troubles and one reason why maybe they shouldn't.
Why they're freaking out:
1. Democrats feel like they've just stepped into the wayback machine and not in a good way.
The revelations revive all the old 1990s tropes about the Clintons — that there's always a whiff of "Pay to Play" in Clinton World; they're blind to appearances of impropriety; they feel the rules don't apply to them; and they aren't transparent. That's part of why Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. — one of the most important voices in the party — said on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday Clinton should "step up" and explain the emails. Feinstein said what many other Democrats think — that continued silence from Clinton will hurt her even more.

HC is just nasty and when cornered gets even nastier! Deplorably disgusting she is!
The problem is that there are a lot of stupid libtards out there that will vote for HC
I'd call her a putz, but that would be her husband.
One vote per citizen is pretty much all the say we'll have in this matter.
"When Tooter's trip finally became a catastrophe, he always called out the same thing, the famous, "Help, Mr. Wizard!" Mr. Wizard would rescue him with the incantation, "Drizzle, drazzle, druzzle, drome, time for this one to come home." Then, Mr. Wizard would always give Tooter the same advice: "Be what you is and not what you is not. Folks that is what they is, is the happiest lot." Tooter never learned, though."
Here is what's going on: The people behind her throne are the ones leaking this stuff out now. This gives everyone enough time to forget everything, just like Bengazhia. Then they can get on with her campaign.
Just the first rinse cycle for her laundry.
