What's In An Email?

Looking back on this election, there will be heaps of books written about this dumpster fire posing as an election. One issue that probably won't be covered is that the lack of a variety in Hillary's scandals has been to her detriment. Yes, Hillary needed more scandals. The logic? Trump deleted thousands of emails to cover up potential business fraud, has a scam for a foundation, had a university that swindled money, had racist housing policies for his buildings, didn't pay immigrant workers, talked casually about the use of nuclear weapons and their proliferation to other countries, bragged about sexually assaulting women, then had women come forward saying he did the things he bragged about, and then he continued to objectify women by saying the alleged victims aren't attractive enough for him to assault (true story, he said it). He also said he wasn't impressed with Hillary's backside. Each one a horrendous act that should kill a politician with the semblance of a moral center. But Trump isn't a politician. He's a businessman trying to be a politician and that somehow changes the standard. The fact there's so much disgusting means none can be given adequate time by the media. It's fascinating how the fact he's done so many terrible things means you can't fully grasp any one of them and in doing so people start to believe that none of them matter. The more that gets added, the more that lessened through the wash. With Hillary, it's simple. You have emails. It doesn't matter what the emails say, it's the anticipation that one will be a bombshell. That's what people crave, the suspense. There's only one tabloid story and we can focus on it. We have the time to dissect. It can be the main talking point for cable news for more than 24 hours. Hillary needed to do more terrible to securely win this election. That's where we are in this country and that's sad.
