Facing a free-wheeling Trump, she is weighted down by tons of baggage.
This year was supposed to be Hillary Clinton’s “turn,” after her humiliating loss in 2008 to Barack Obama. She has paid her dues as secretary of state for Obama. And the apparent Republican presidential nominee, Donald J. Trump, is written off by most pundits as a buffoon without a chance in the general election. Yet, Clinton’s campaign continues to be dismal, and is getting worse — to the point where the socialist Bernie Sanders polls better against Trump than does Hillary Clinton. How can that be?
At least eight reasons come to mind — several of them relating to Clinton’s innate character flaws and past scandals.
1) The E-Mail Scandal
Although the FBI has not finished its investigation and sent its results and recommendations to the Obama Justice Department, most of the media and public have learned enough about the e-mail/server scandal to conclude that had any mid-level State Department or intelligence-agency employee emulated Hillary Clinton’s use of a private unsecured server — along with serial denials and lying about such use — he would have been fired and prosecuted.
Hillary’s exemption so far hinges entirely on the fact that she is the Democratic party’s only viable presidential candidate; her indictment would send the party into crisis, given that the committed socialist Bernie Sanders would be the most deserving to inherit the nomination. So her Sword of Damocles swings with public opinion. What keeps Hillary out of jail, or at least a plea-bargain, is her political viability, first as the likely Democratic nominee, and second as a presumable winner over Trump. But take either likelihood away, and she de facto loses exemption and becomes expendable — a fact that is well known to her ...

O’Donnell’s brother lives in our town and has always been very active in Republican politics.
Well, at least the whole family isn’t a waste of air. Lawrence certainly is.
Yet Beltway RINO morons like Bill Kristol and Hugh Hewitt think that she’s gonna take down Trump over his tax returns.
This is funny! Do they think Trump is hiding something? Trump is baiting them and Love it.
Suicide watch?
Aside from NR, Victor Davis Hanson is one of a few
excellent conservative thinkers coming from academia.
He didn't participate in NR's risible "Against Trump" issue. But it's too late for the failing NR. Hope VDH is lining up another outlet for his columns for whenever his NR contract runs out.

How much more out of touch can np get? They are embarrassment.
The article forgot to mention that the more the media coddles Hillary and attacks Trump the more it strengthens Trump since the major media are clearly a part of the problem and not a part of the solution (in the eyes of most Americans, left, right, and center).
hell we have been listing to it for 25 years or so already
If you look up smarmy in the dictionary his picture pops up
Right why work when money is tossed at you and your spouse because people in power/politicsEtc think it’s just YOUR TURN now:-)
Definitely. This election is opening a lot of eyes to media bias and also to the establishment two-party system.
The realization that they’ve been lied to and manipulated for a long time is pretty upsetting.
Better late than never.
Yes, Cankles is a bad candidate. But VDH does not give Trump near enough credit. He exposes her like a bad Polaroid.
When this campaign is over we will see Ted Cruz was Trump’s strongest opponent, and he was vanquished pretty easily.
DUNE
Thanks Captain Obvious (VDH). 1/2 of the greatest crime couple in the history of the republic has baggage? Who’da thunk it?
