Thomas Lifson . . . "For a candidate perceived as a liar and arrogant, this approach is the worst possible approach. So why is she doing it? The girl can’t help it. These are accurate perceptions. Oh, and to come clean about why she set up a server that would escape public scrutiny would involve explaining that she intended to do a lot of things, such as raising hundreds of millions of dollars for the family foundation that pays the salaries of her campaign aides in waiting and the private jet trips and five star hotel bills of her family, that would raise awkward questions.
"She compounded the damage by pleading incompetence as the explanation for her private server:
"I was not thinking a lot when I got in. There was so much work to be done. We had so many problems around the world. I didn't really stop and think, 'what kind of email system will there be?'"
“I was not thinking a lot” will become her trademark quotation if she stays in the race. This is the woman whose entire candidacy premise is competence and experience, and she has just undermined her ability to make that argument."Short of a personality transplant, I cannot see how Hillary can arrest her fall in the polls:" . . .
