This seems sillier than your usual, which is going some.
Since Clinton 42's time, the Republicans have been trying to use scandals to make political points. They have come to believe their own lies, that the stories they concoct are somehow associated with truth, and that people who haven't bought in fully to the Republican value set will believe them. It isn't that Clinton is so much the Teflon Man because none of the Republican scandals ever stuck. It's that the Republican attempts at scandals were so pathetic.
Plan A. Hope a scandal rises up to hurt a Clinton. Lotsa luck with that.
At least this time the hope is that it isn't a Republican that creates the scandal? You're hoping the Kremlin will do it for you?
In the real world, the greater scandal is a Republican candidate who is running with the support of a foreign autocratic power... the Kremlin yet. I suspect that a certain True Republican, one who was close to the heart of the GOP back in his time, Senator Joe McCarthy, would be rolling over in his grave.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
