Hillary In Quicksand: The More She Struggles To Conceal Emails, The Worse It Gets

A CBS Poll conducted at the end of March shows that Americans accept, for now, Hillary Clinton’s explanation of why she kept all her emails on a non-government server. While 62 percent feel it was “inappropriate” to do so, they largely buy her explanation of why she did so. Forty-nine percent accept that it was just for the convenience of not having to use two devices while 38 percent suspect that she wanted to conceal their content.

But Hillary has, in effect, stepped into quicksand. The more she struggles to keep her server and emails private, the more voters will believe she used a separate server to cover them up. Her explanation that she did so out of “convenience” will wear thin with each subpoena battle, court order and instance of Clinton stonewalling.

More broadly, the CBS News poll, taken in the wake of the email scandal (poll dates: March 21-23) show that Hillary’s popularity is underwater nationally, with only 26 percent viewing her favorably and 37 percent holding an unfavorable opinion. This 11-point deficit contrasts with a 5-point net positive rating by CBS during the fall of 2015 when her ratings were 38 to 33.

Particularly important are Hillary’s abysmal ratings among Independents, where she has a 36 percent unfavorable and only a 19 percent favorable.

I hope for the sake of us all that Hillary’s abysmal ratings don't turn into Hillary’s abysmal presidency.

She's typical of any and all democrats.
Not an honest bone in ANY democrat's body. No good decent person would ever align themselves with a party that lies incessantly.

Consequences? I didn't think so.Millions of attorneys trying to get disability for people who will otherwise not be able to survive on an honest retirement,but not one single firm that will tackle Hillary.Maybe the Everest comparison is factoring in.Who knows?
