Hillary is not disgusting. But she is not ideal. The email stuff is minor, and the Republicans make mountains out of Clinton molehills, and have done so for decades. But she didn't adequately answer Trump's charges. I think though, that they have been answered. So maybe she was right not to dwell on her explanations at the debate.
She didn't really apologize sufficiently for her "irredeemable deplorables" remark. But on the other hand, the fact is that she is right about a lot of Trump supporters. And I suspect some people know that too. So it may not make much difference that she pointed it out, and didn't apologize for doing it very much.
Another thing where Trump might have scored a point with some people is when he charged that the women Clinton "abused" were verbally attacked by Hillary. She just said it wasn't true, with no support for her statement; and again perhaps she thought it was dwelling on the sordid to go into this further. Trump has also made ridiculous, unsupported charges that Hillary cheated on Bill. Hillary haters make all sorts of false charges against her, even accusing her of murder.
I wonder about her supposed remark in her Goldman Sachs speech that the people best able to regulate Wall Street, are Wall Street people. I think the most crucial thing we will be looking for, is who she appoints to her cabinet and other important posts. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama appointed too many wolves to guard our financial hen house. She has to do better. If this controversy builds, maybe she will have to answer the progressives about this, and not appoint David Rubin types to these positions. I will be interesting to see if there's more on this, and from her, on this issue before the election. If she pledges to appoint real regulators and watchdogs for the people, she might stem some defections to Jill Stein.
