Democrats did keep voting for Robert Byrd for over 50 years...

There is a full on hit squad after her now. The noagendashow podcast gave some insightful advice about these articles. Look at the pictures of Hillary, they are all terrible and make her look like shit, it's no coincidence these awful photo jobs are being put on every article. There is no way she makes it to the convention. I'm curious why the elites and media have finally turned on her.
It's possible she exists only to fund raise and later endorse another canidate

Bernie looks terrible too.

Its amateur hour right now, just wait till the primaries get in sight. She looks like shit now and the professional mudslinging hasn't even really started. Its gonna be fun to watch her get destroyed. When a person is as corrupt as Hillary it hasn't been hard to hold back the really good stuff, watch for it.

It's not the media's fault that Shillary is ugly, inside and out.

Anger. "The email contrversy is a made up story by evil Republicans"
Denial. "the email issues will have no effect on the election results"
Bargaining. "Well she really wasn't a very good candidate to begin with"
Next up, Depression

I'm actually just waiting to see how it all plays out. It's very difficult in the middle of a controversy over a year before the elections to see how it will ultimately play out. It could ruin her candidacy or it could pass. Lots of controversies do just that. The public and the media both have very short attention spans. By this time next year no one will be worried about these emails - either because Hillary is no longer in the race, or because it is old news and there is something new to talk about. Honestly, I think it would have been far better for Republicans if this had happened next year instead. As it is now, there is actually plenty of time for Dems to find a new candidate if necessary.

If it happened closer to the election, don't you think the established media would treat it more as a crazy Republican conspiracy rather than a legitimate issue?

This mess is entirely of her own making. Everything she has done (or not done) has been an unforced error committed by her.
I have heard time and again about how strategic and cunning she is but these are really rookie mistakes. If you are flagrantly insulting the press and violating laws, eventually they won't be able to bury the story on A-12.

I can only imagine the kind of intel she has leaked to foreign interests.
