For the Hildebeest, Scandals Have Achieved Critical Mass

[Investors.com] With each day, new revelations call into question Hillary Clinton's behavior during her tenure as secretary of state and after. It's time for her to suspend her campaign and start answering questions.

When even the left-wing media notice a leading Democrat's apparent ethical lapses, she has a real problem. And so does the Democratic Party, which as of now has all its bets for 2016 placed on Hillary Clinton, who, Peter Schweizer's upcoming book "Clinton Cash" suggests, may have engaged in corrupt behavior in office.

The latest revelation is a potential bombshell: That while Clinton was secretary of state, a federal committee approved the $610 million sale of Wyoming-based uranium mines to Russia's state atomic energy agency, Rosatom, as it tried to corner the market for the radioactive mineral.
The timid candidate roll-out could have been a foretelling. Will we soon have new medical revelations and a stand-down ?

#1 I doubt, her core constituency is adversely affected---if anything, they probably admire her enterprise.

#2 Based on the principle of "this is what we're letting you know, so we don't have to discuss the part that's even worse", I'm beginning to be impressed at what a world class screw up this malign witch is.

#3 It's interesting that Billy Jeff is keeping his yap shut. Not motivated to be more helpful, or could only make a bad situation worse?

#4 #1 I doubt, her core constituency is adversely affected---if anything, they probably admire her enterprise.

Except that most of her core constituency doesn't like capitalism. They probably support her for the same reason they supported Obama--being progressives, they like "firsts." They don't like to stay within the lines and they like to run with scissors.

#5 re: #4 & #1

Her core constituency is the same one that prefers Russia to the US, Marxism/fascism to capitalism so the selling of uranium mines to Russia is just icing on the Hillary cake, more reason to like her.

#6 Ah, AC, Russia hasn't been communist for 20 year, USA on the other hand...

#7 If her core constituency is who you think they'll jump ship in a second once Elizabeth Warren throws her hat in.

We haven't really touched the Bill Clinton underage scandal. I'm sure someone has let them know that will be front page news if they don't drop out of the race by such and such deadline.

#8 If her core constituency is who you think

IMO, it's (almost) everyone who receives public funds: either as salary or welfare or contractor.

#9 Yup. Similar to Obama's.

#10 We haven't really touched the Bill Clinton underage scandal.

Or Benghazi. Or Huma. Ordinarily, in reasonable times, any of these things would have scuttled the inevitable candidate and future president. Now, were it a conservative, they would have been gone long ago.

#11 When even the left-wing media notice a leading Democrat's apparent ethical lapses

Not if they're rooting for a more-left-wing candidate.
