The media is destroying Hillary and the Democratic Party acts like nothing is wrong.

81. our country has learned some horrible lessons from watergate

we've had some great advances; certainly, we have more government disclosure and oversight than we ever did.

however, the republican party learned to close ranks around each other no matter how criminal or proven their own actions may be, and they learned to never apologize and never back down.

meanwhile, the media learned that a scandal that brings down the most powerful politician brings much acclaim and many viewers. therefore, they viciously drool at any hint of the prospect, no matter how remote or improbable.

the republicans, of course, also learned they have a big friend in the media in this area, and are more than happy to obliged with investigations and hearings and innuendo and so on.

i'd say they will not rest until a democratic president is forced to go nixon's route, but in truth i know that that would only encourage them....
