Hillary's political career will never die as long as she continues to receive this kind of attention. Irrelevance is what kills you in politics, not notoriety - something that Trump has surely proved by now.
Trump is a special case, and you know that as well as I do.
He isn't. America is just full of assholes.
He is. He won
because of his outsider status; when he does something controversial they point and say that's why they wanted him in the first place. Hillary wouldn't get away with that. To most people she
represents the establishment. Not to mention people already hate her. She's been on the losing end of two historic elections, the second arguably entirely because people don't trust her.
As with so much with Trump, a large part of why this looks bad is its lack of transparency. If they thought they had nothing to hide, why did they try to hide?
I guess it's possible she will survive this, given the insanity of the current political climate. But she will never be president. If she were to somehow win the primary, and something crazy doesn't happen (impeachment, an incumbent loss in the primary), it would virtually guarantee another Trump victory. She should seriously just bow out gracefully.
