I'm not understanding your point

The emails further cement her as the ultimate "insider" and show her cozy relationship with those who have investigated her for wrong doing. It's real evidence that backs up 'crooked Hillary' business Trump has been spouting and government corruption is kinda of a big to deal to a lot of people. A much bigger deal than groping.
Honestly it seems that the damage that could be done by these emails is negligible in comparison to Trump's sex scandal. And-- maybe I've missed something-- but the people who are trawling through them to find a smoking gun have done a really bad job at it. What I'm hearing right now falls under either: typical politican stuff most people already assumed they did, or ridiculous stretches like "this one person in the campaign insulted Catholics!".

I think you are using highly specialized tools like "reading comprehension". Not everyone has those.

I doubt it would make a difference this late in the game, but I would guess the race will get closer in a few weeks unless Hillary can come up with another big tape. Hopefully something from this millennium. She isn't very good at keeping a lead when trump can stay out of his own way for five minutes.

And this is the lady Trump keeps referencing as to why he's so great to women.

A) the pussy tape is from 2005, I'm pretty sure that's this millenium

B) Granted this one isn't this millenium but it's worse: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/more-uneart ... -10-years/ This story is arguably worse, especially if you couple it with the other story of the 13-year-old.

Also the fact that the pussy tape was just over 10 years ago is pointless. They guy was still 60 years old. If i compared 15 year old strat to 25 year old strat, that is a big difference.

I'm pretty sure that b isn't arguably worse than bragging about sexual assault. Worse is said on RM on a daily basis. I'm sure that same joke has been told here. But then again I'm probably the one who told it.

It hardly matters what's worse, or whether voters will be swayed even further against him by the accusations. There isn't a plausible scenario left wherein Trump wins the election.

'pearl jam message board' is still the most embarrassing thing about that headline.

Maybe Michelle Obama should run for POTUS too...former First Lady is the only qualification needed clearly.

isn't it just fascinating to see what of your ..."friends" or maybe childhood acquaintances or extended family members support trump?Like, none of it is shocking. It makes total sense they do.

Seems like he's trying to be the media hero that takes down Trump
Y'know, if these recent groping allegations puts the nail in the Trump campaign's coffin, then Anderson Cooper might be exactly that (since his pressing Trump to answer the question directly is apparently what prompted these women to come forward)

I'm at Five Guys, and the red hats that the crew wears almost masked the ugly "Make America Great Again" hat that one of the patrons was wearing.
