Jon Stewart was mostly dismissive of news that Hillary Rodham Clinton used a private e-mail account during her time as secretary of state, arguing it won't do much to change voters' opinion of her, whether for good or bad.
"Do you think maybe 'wrongemailadddressghazi' would be a big boost to her Democratic primary rival, TBD?" he said during Wednesday's "Daily Show." "Or maybe perhaps this will effect Hillary Clinton's standing with Republicans in the general election who pretty much already believe her and her husband to be treasonous, murdering 'griftasauruses?'"
Democrats love Clinton. Since 2009, her favorability rating among Democrats has remained at 88 percent or higher, according to Gallup. Her standing among Republicans, obviously, isn't as high; and, it's fallen steadily since she left the State Department, from 41 percent in 2012, to 21 percent by June. It's conceivable those figures will drop in the wake of the e-mail revelations, but the fact is, she's already a very polarizing figure.

(19,460 posts)When did she know about the toe and why did she keep it secret? Hillary is too secretive about her toe and needs to disclose how she stubbed it. Will Hillary's stubbed toe cause her brain damage? Some say Hillary stubbed her toe on the shredding machine. Was she shredding papers directly related to Ben Gawzi? Hillary's stubbed toe is proof she can't win a general election. And on and fucking on!
