I hate to defend Hillary on anything. However, there isn't any trust between government, and its citizens. She might be complicit in this, but by no means is she the driving force in this mistrust. The Tea Party pushed that snowball down the hill, and it still hasn't hit the bottom of the hill yet.

All these threats to close down the government for very minor reason adds fuel to the fire. If we don't get our way, nothing will get done, and nothing is getting done. How can anyone trust the government, if that is the attitude of both of the parties?

Back to Hillary, she is going to state over and over that this email scandal is nothing but politics. If the Republicans don't start attacking her on policies, she will have a valid argument. Eric Cantor lost his seat partly due to the fact that he went 100% negative. There is a lesson to be learned there. Also, the Republicans in Congress are preaching to the choir. If no Democrats, or very few Independent are being moved by the constant beating of the drum, what are they gaining? Making themselves feel better doesn't get them the White House.

Favorability does play a part in peoples' vote, but political party offsets it. If Republicans don't lighten on race, she will be the next president, if she is the Democratic nominee. Then, the bitching will really start, because now you are really dealing with a bitch. People will be looking back to the good old days of President Obama.
