In the wake of her 2008 primary loss, Hillary Clinton was hoping to present a new face to the public. It’s not possible anymore, says Charles Krauthammer.
“She lost in ‘08. When you are a losing candidate and you run a second time, you try to run as a new person,” said Krauthammer on Monday’s Special Report. “Nixon loses in 1960, and in ’68 he is ‘the new Nixon.’ It has been 15 years since all the shenanigans in the ’90s. There was a hope that with Hillary that shadow, that cloud, would go away. But with the donations from the foreign entities and the emails now — regardless of details — there is no ‘new Hillary.’ She can’t possibly run on it. It is going to be the old Hillary, and that makes her chances greatly diminished.”
Krauthammer noted that the prospect of a House investigation, and pending lawsuits against Clinton from Judicial Watch, the Associated Press, and other organizations, are almost sure to keep this story alive through Election Day 2016.
