I can't see that she goes beyond the pale at all, and I think it's likely that people will come to realize that the choice is between a compassionate grandmother who has dedicated her life to helping people improve their lives, and a fraudulent trickster and talented marketing scam-artist trading on peoples fears and prejudices to boost his own power.
Using a personal email server which in fact is safer than using a partially-non functional State Dept. email server, which previous Secretaries had done too, is not "beyond the pale." Getting donations for a family-run non-profit foundation from which she derives no personal benefit is not beyond the pale either. I just don't see it. The essence of her career is helping people get health care and break through barriers of prejudice, and being an ambassador for America and for human rights around the world. What is the essence of Donald Trump's career? Making millions and billions, and losing them, and making them again, through shady deals and marketing/self-branding talent. The Donald makes Hillary look good-- VERY good. I just hope the people can see; that's always the wild card, the American people, which no-one not even Donald Trump ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of.
Maybe we shouldn't bother her for any facts or logic.
She needs to spend some time working on that apology to her kids and grandkids for enabling a President Trump and a Supreme Court that will be at least as terrifying, and much more long-lasting.
On the other hand, I'm still waiting for those Naderites to own up to their enabling of 'W' and 9/11, Iraq Invasion, the Great Recession, 2008 Financial Meltdown, etc. etc.
