I dunno... honestly, the issues re: the Hillary e-mail scandal are too complicated for regular people to wrap their heads around. It's not going to trump all the issues everyone (EVERYONE) already has with her. And if I recall, the Clintons were in a boring legal scandal when Bill was running, and it really didn't affect stuff (although I would argue Bill was far more electable than Hillary).
Actually, you remember the Whitewater trial? The most interesting thing about that trial was the juror who wore her Star Trek uniform to court, the media went nuts over that because they knew that would get more of a reaction than anything happening in the court. Trump is sort of like that, he's the sideshow that says stupid stuff which draws attention away from actual issues.
The Republican party was screwed for a while, it was the same unpopular guys who couldn't win the nomination last time trying to be the least objectionable option to people whose interests they don't look out for. Hillary couldn't get nominated last time, so her running again sort of feels like that. Who cares? It's not like she was a breakout star, like Chris Pratt in early Parks and Rec, "you keep your eyes on that kid, they're gonna be something SPECIAL one day!" No, it feels more like the kid waiting in line who's annoyed that there are other kids who cut the line and don't get in trouble. Would you vote for that kid? Would you even wanna TALK to that kid?
People have this real disconnect with politics and politicians right now, no confidence in the status quo, and ALL the major candidates are the status quo, it's business as usual. Of course Trump is getting all this attention, he's a loudmouth *sshole disaster area, but he's got drive and energy. He's actually a really great representative of the current Republican mindset: a deluded, self-centered, rich bully who insults everyone he doesn't agree with (and never apologizes), has no clue how the world actually works... I've read so many opinion pieces about why he's the perfect Republican because he's the personification of everything wrong with them.
I'm hearing about Biden recently but isn't it strange that he wasn't the default choice? The VP usually is. He's a real civil servant type so he might have been waiting for the go-ahead, but it gives me the impression that he really doesn't want it.
The only sensible option, I think, is Sanders. He's got a consistent record, he's always been ahead of the curve on social issues, a HUGE majority of Americans have the same values, his crowds grow bigger and bigger every time he does an event... and unlike Hillary, he actually ANSWERS questions. I don't know how Hillary gets a reputation as a liar when she never says what she stands for (she is all for the terrible TPP deal and in fact helped author it, but claims to be on the fence about it while Sanders as vehemently opposed it from the start).
