Hillary Clinton has a major problem. Her credibility is being impugned by not just the Fox network (expected), but the Washington Post and the NYT.
Her problem is that, while the Fox folks have always hated her, the Post and the NYT have ignored and/or made excuses for her for nearly 25 years.
Now, they're all investigating, the laundry list of documented corruption is getting longer than Pinochio's nose, and her side is deafeningly mute. They've impeached the character and integrity of the accusers, but have contested not one whit of the substance of the accusations.
So why is that a problem for others?
As for the Democrats, they've invested so much credibility in Hillary that any alternative looks like what it would be...a desperate search for anyone or thing other than Hillary. Who's the alternative? Elizabeth Warren? Imagine her facing off against Vladimir Putin, then dig your bomb shelter and save the last bullet for yourself.
As for the Republicans, it's trailing Hillary in spite of all this. In order to capitalize, you have to offer an alternative, and it's hard to say who that might be. I once thought it would be Paul Walker. I'm now thinking Rubio. But I'm not sure his playing both sides of several fences (immigration, abortion) can hold up.
Point being, if the Republicans can't beat a documented corrupt narcissist who has big questions around competency, what does that say about them?
It's hard not to think the apocalypse is upon us.
