For the last 2 years, Republicans have been trying to make the case that Hillary Clinton's ill advised use of her private email proves that she is unfit for the highest office in the land. Multiple investigations, and thousands of leaked emails have brought us to this point, where Hillary Clinton, though somewhat politically damaged, is still on the path to the Presidency. So, Why is this?
* Millions of Republicans around the nation, who think they know the finer points of case law in this matter, have not come to terms with the fact that Hillary Clinton's actions (though not very smart) didn't violate the law.
* Republicans have played the "email card" so many times in the last 2 years, most independent and swing voters now see this, not as an honest attempt at getting at the truth, but now as a tool for destroying Hillary Clinton politically, so a Republican can win back the White House. This has damaged the GOP's credibility, and turned a lot of people off about Hillary's emails.
* Donald Trump has run his campaign like the political version of the Jerry Springer show. Every time people start to focus on Hillary's emails, Trump says something crazy, that takes the focus off of them, and on to Trump's volatile nature.
So, much like the "birthers" trying to discredit President Obama a few years back. Republicans are left grasping at thin air.
