Yes, Hillary is politically "DAMAGED" . . .for now. But, this particular Leftist machine is like no other I've ever seen. Since Obama walked into the WH, it's as if the dem machine received a surge from steroid injections. They became more aggressive, more determined, more violent towards their political "enemies", and more unified.
Remember this? "WE are the ones that WE've beeen waiting for!" - Barack Obama, 2008
They had also became MORE brazen and vengeful. Why? HOW?
The answers to those questions are one and the same. I'll use the world stage as an example. Who wins wars? The smartest and most patient adversary. The side w/ the most determination, resolve, and even the most cunning, wins. And, to be all of those things, one MUST also be ruthless.
In other words, winners exploit and take full advantage of their adversary's weaknesses. Also, DO NOT ever rule out having a certain level of respect, and perhaps even a measured "admiration" -- NOT for the "persons" themselves, but their abilities and successes. Winners LEARN more from the mistakes made by those they had defeated.

Using what was written above, WHAT have TODAY'S elected GOP officials, AND their voting population, LEARNED from our recent history alone? (ACTIONS and PERFORMANCE) Imo, nothing. "We" are still drinking that "new Coca Cola" from the 80s.
I say w/ cold honesty, and awareness, that whomever believes that the Dem machine is weakened is IGNORANT and living in denial!
Lets use history again.
Although, and in spite of the FACT, that Hillary Clinton was completely "DISSED" by the DNC and the liberal media empire, the Clintons (as egotistical and narcissistic as they are) did NOT even consider splintering away from the Dem Party to achieve their ambitions in a "3p"; nor was Hillary ever even asked such a question. Quite the opposite. At the DNC convention in Denver, the crowd cheered wildly as "wild" Bill took the stage; announcing to the crowd that he knew of at least "8 million" voters (the Clinton fan base) that WILL be voting for Barack Obama. They put their PERSONAL feelings aside; and unified their forces. Thus, the Party survived.
But, WHY?
Though I totally disagree w/ them, the Left have an agenda; a plan. It's over a hundred yrs old. Their determination, PATIENCE, and resolve has been rewarded as they've gotten MOST of everything they've aspired towards.
While "we" have been playing catch-up -- "they" have been passing policies. Where "we" had focused on "bills" -- "they" had focused on AMENDMENTS.
So, now I ask, WHO "won" in 2010 and 2014? The LEFT did!
They are in no way out for the count in 2016. As far as "I'm" concerned, we can "win" an election. BUT, we had lost the Constitutional Republic a LOOONG time ago.
To achieve true change and reform, "change" must FIRST occur from WITHIN each of us. And that is the MOST DIFFICULT task of all.
That's how I see it.
