I don't rule out Hillary winning in November but she has been badly tarnished by the email scandal and her latest health issues.

At this point, I think there is a serious possibility that Trump may win and that would be disastrous for the country. If she really cares about some of the issues she has been talking about, she would realize how badly damaged she is and let someone like Biden or Tim Kaine just be the standard bearer into the election.

The recently hacked emails of Colin Powell shows that he has been scathing about Trump but he has not had kind words for Hillary either.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/09/14/here-are-the-juiciest-colin-powell-comments-about-trump-and-clinton-from-his-leaked-emails/

When 70% of the country distrusts a candidate, it is difficult to recover and some of the credibility problems she has have been of her own making.

As Democrats, we need to ask ourselves whether Hillary is so badly damaged that she may end up helping elect Trump to the presidency.

And will Trump do the honorable thing and withdraw now that it has been disclosed that his international business dealings can significantly compromise national security?

Wasn't it Leeds that dished the dirt on her attitude toward Obama?

As for me, I wish they both would withdraw.

And Trump too. Wouldn't it be nice to end up with a president that half of us disagree with rather than hate?

Not the same thing at all. If he withdraws, we get a horribly flawed individual as president, whose trustworthiness, competence, and health are all highly suspect. If SHE withdraws, on the other hand, we will get an acceptable Democratic nominee for whom I could vote. As things stand now, I will not vote for HRC.

So another country engages in an illegal activity against the US to influence our election (hacking). They release select , illegally obtained, documents to create a negative impression about one candidate. You think the candidate under attack should capitulate and not run. Make me just want to vote for her.

I would rather Trump stay on because I think a Biden or Kaine would easily defeat Trump.

It is unbelievable that a nominee as flawed as Trump can be where he is today in the polls with all of the baggage he brings with him. I really believe his showing in the polls is almost entirely because of Hillary who is just toxic to many Americans.

Yep. The more they do it, the better she'll come out. Most people already have Wikileaks fatigue

So your hope for winning the white house is that Hillary Clinton dies or self immolates?

Oh, November will not be kind to you....

And Trump is a beacon of virtue and honesty rather than the racist, misogynist, greedy, corrupt individual he really is. I will NOT vote for Trump.

My primary aim is that a liberal is elected to the presidency.

I don't wish any harm on Hillary but she is too damaged and makes it likely that Trump can win.

Speculation. DNC got caught with hand in the cookie jar. Just maybe, someone on the inside leaked--maybe a Bernie supporter?

More on the Colin Powell email where he pretty much calls her a liar:

She won't withdraw. She has been deferring to her handlers and hiding (her cognition limits) for months. A more pedestrian family would step back from the limelight and protect her.
