Fully 56 percent of Americans think the FBI’s leading man, James Comey, ought to have recommended Hillary Clinton for indictment over her handling of emails while serving as secretary of state, a new poll revealed.

An ABC News/Washington Post survey shows that thanks to Comey’s recommendation against charging Clinton, a majority of Americans are now concerned she might not be able to handle her responsibilities as president, if elected, in the best manner possible.


Still, most aren’t changing their minds about voting for Clinton, ABC News reported. It’s just that now, of Clinton’s Democratic and independent supporters, 28 percent are less supportive of her than they normally would be.

As ABC summarized: “Overall, 56 percent disapprove of FBI Director James Comey’s recommendation not to charge Clinton, while just 35 percent approve. Similarly, 57 percent say the incident makes them worried about how Clinton might act as president if she is elected, with most very worried about it. Just 39 percent feel the issue isn’t related to how she would perform as president.”

By the party, the numbers are more divided.


Roughly nine of 10 Republicans disagree with Comey’s decision to cut Clinton loose of culpability, and say it worries them about how she’d run the White House. By contrast, about two-thirds of Democrats approve of Comey’s decision, and don’t see any correlation between her email server scandal and the actions she would take as president, if elected. But even three in 10 Democrats say she should have been charted.

And the response from the independent camp showed this, ABC reported: “Roughly 6 in 10 independents say the FBI was wrong and that the issue raises worries about Clinton as president

I don't think so. But lets wait and see what happens at the Republican's convention. It could be messy.

There'll be a bit of both.  Nobody outside the bitter old cat lady demographic is going to get out of bed to vote for Hilary.  She's a bad candidate.  Too bad.

There is a fair bit of crossover between Trump and Sanders supporters.  Not the hard cores obviously, but the fringes of each group overlap greatly, only the artificial divisions of "left vs right" are keeping them polarised.

As with his realignment of the Republican party in the primaries, in the general election, Trump the Uniter will realign the left/right divide along a truer dichotomy of globalism/nationalism.  This will allow burned bernie supporters to crossover, and deliver the election to Trump in a landslide.

A lot has been found, it just hasn't been acted upon. 

Not sure why all these "intelligent" americans are cool with corruption and a double standard in the law.  Maybe they're not that intelligent after all.

If 56 percent of Americans think Hillary Clinton should have been indicted, then on what planet do Americans not care about the emails?

It was no small thing when Obama's FBI Director said she was "extremely careless" with her emails, some of which contained national secrets. And it didn't help her to get caught in several lies.

And the New York Post is reporting that her husband cut a deal with Attorney General Lynch on that notorious airplane when they weren't talking about golf and grandkids.

But that all amounts to "nothing," right? In the words of Sergeant Schultz:

Meanwhile, Trump has been accused of gang raping a child.

For some reason, you're perfectly OK with that.

Interesting.

Yes.

Does that make the alleged gang rape of a child more palatable for you?

Panther wrote on Jul 14^th, 2016 at 8:29pm:


Ah.

You condone the gang rape of children, as long as it happened a long time ago?

Gotcha.
