You're the opposition party and you can't work with that.
Let that sink in.
That's the thing. Mrs. Clinton is such a bad candidate - a historically horrible candidate. She should lose by 15 points.
But she won't.
And just to be clear again: The suggestion in referring to gross negligence is that we think Mrs. Clinton acted with gross negligence, right? That wouldn't be a new thought, not something that comes out of today's statement? That's fine if that's the point. But today's statement didn't say or suggest that she acted with gross negligence; it suggests the contrary.
The GOP wants her to win. All the rest is noise. Our system is in jeopardy because one of the major parties considers it a better thing that the opposition win rather than try and manage their own candidate.
This should be full stop, grind to a halt outrage.
Screw all of that. From a purely political standpoint, defeating her for the highest office in the land, this is not a smoking gun. It's a bonfire. She, clearly, never-mind the FBI, did this to keep secrets from everyone from you and me to the President and to keep secret everything from her political plans to her dealings with her foundation and it's fundraising and quid pro quo's.

Again, of course she should be easy to beat. Even without this she should be easy to beat.
But even assuming that she will win, that doesn't mean that the GOP wanted her to win. A significant plurality of GOP primary voters chose Mr. Trump, yes. But I believe that most of them did so sincerely believing that he would have a decent chance of defeating her. I do not believe that most of them did so thinking that they were sabotaging the chances of keeping her out of the White House. I don't think that they wanted her to win, I think they were just wrong in their assessment of his chances of beating her (and had other reasons for supporting Mr. Trump).
Sorry. I didn't mean gop rank and file. I mean the 'establishment', the solid cadre of neocons not interested in trump mucking up war, wall street and too big to fail.
