Rick Klein: “Two weeks after the world learned of Hillary Clinton’s unusual email arrangement, her answers are incomplete, Democrats are anxious, she’s still not a candidate – and none of it matters in terms of her likelihood to become the 2016 nominee. For all the churn beneath the surface, Clinton is still essentially running against herself on the Democratic side. Her would-be challengers have barely whispered a critique of an email setup that strayed from State Department custom, if not rule or law, for reason that appear to include a desire for secrecy.”
“It’s an instructive episode for the emerging Clinton team, one that may actually confirm the instincts of those who think any ‘new Hillary’ wouldn’t be worth the downside. Of course these last few weeks haven’t been helpful. But would anyone argue they have seriously hurt her chances of capturing the nomination?”
