Hillary Clinton, they say, is the most qualified person ever to have run for the presidency. They are, of course, mistaken. But less than one week away from an election that, for once, really may prove to be the most important of our lives, what boggles the mind of those of us who are paying attention is just how terrible a candidate Clinton has proven to be.
It feels like years ago, but remember the primaries? Polls notwithstanding, Hillary's supporters — the editorial board of The New York Times and the CNN talking head who slipped her debate questions so she could cheat against Bernie — argued that her awesome resume put her in a better position to take on Donald Trump in the fall.
Yet here we are with national tracking polls in a dead heat or within the statistical margin of error, with Ohio firmly in the Trump column, Florida probably leaning the same way, and the whole thing probably coming down to a slim margin in Pennsylvania. And those polls don't take the brand-new FBI EmailGate investigation into account. (At this writing, there's one — and it shows Trump ahead.)
