Hillary's team has decided that everything they've tried hasn't worked. So maybe after ignoring it for months, then making stupid jokes about it, and throwing out conspiracy claims isn't working. So maybe they can stop their free-fall in the polls by issuing a half hearted apology.
So Hillary is sorry that everyone knew she had a private server and email address, and she's sorry nobody said anything was wrong with it.
Clinton on Private Email: ‘That Was a Mistake. I’m Sorry’
Oh, and then she claimed victim status.
Now that otta do it.
Clinton’s interview, her first national television interview with an evening news anchor since launching her campaign five months ago, comes after a rocky summer where she faced growing scrutiny over her use of a private email account and dropping poll numbers.
A recent ABC News/Washington Post poll found that 53 percent of Americans now see Clinton unfavorably, up 8 points since midsummer.
Even so, Clinton remains optimistic about the future of her campaign.
When asked by Muir if she will be able to “survive” the email controversy dogging her campaign, Clinton said she has no doubt that “I can survive it.”
“Of course I can,” she said. “I, as you might guess, have been around a while and there have been lots of, you know, attacks and counter-attacks and questions raised. And I can survive it because I think I’m running to be president to do what the country needs done. And I believe the American people will respond to that.”
Muir asked Clinton if there is ever an instance where she asks herself, "Why am I doing this again?"
"Of course. Because it's really hard," Clinton explained. "It's something that just demands everything. Physically, emotionally, spiritually. It is just 24/7."
Despite the challenging days on the campaign trail, however, Clinton told Muir she’s still having a good time.
“It’s hard, but it’s fun,” Clinton said. “Most of the things that are hard in life are fun.”
