Will the Hsu situation have a noticable impact on Hillary's campaign?

Answer 1

Probably not. This is not the first time Mrs. Clinton has had unethical dealings with donors, and it's never burned her before. Plus the media doesn't really seem to care (odd?...) and wants to implicate Hsu before it implicates Hillary.

Answer 2

I oppose Mrs. Clinton's candidacy, strongly, so I would hope it does.

I just don't see this as having a huge impact, though, knowing what we know now. People who support her (and some others) will just say she should be more careful checking who her donors are, and that it was Hsu, not she, who was corrupt and/or criminal.

The type of scandal that fells a politician is usually one which causes the candidate's own supporters to back off from them. Like Watergate.

Answer 3

No, simply because it could have happened to any of them and they know it. The candidates themselves don't vet the checks, and Hsu was a bundler, making it even more difficult.
She has also instituted criminal background checks for her bundlers and large donors, something that to my knowledge no other candidate has or plans to do. Hsu seems to have been a character, he was on the lam for fifteen years, you'd have thought someone would have noticed before this.
She's a bright hard working woman with the ability to learn from her mistakes. That alone makes her worth a real look, not just the predigested opinion of a bunch of pundits. Like her husband shes not the ultra liberal they portray her to be. Shes been an attractive candidate in the Republican regions of NY winning them handily. She is real and serious threat to the Republicans and they know it.

Answer 4

In the short term, yes. In the long term probably not.

I'd be willing to bet you a dollar to a dime that many, if not most, of Hillary Clinton's major campaign contributors are the same contributors who got George W. Bush elected.
They both have the same globalist agenda.

Answer 5

The media will cover her tracks. If this were a Republican-front page on the Washingpost, New York Tims, LA Times everyday for a month. Hillary? a whisper here and there, thats it.

Answer 6

It already has... she has lost $850,000. And that's about it otherwise. The American people have a short attention span and another minor scandal will come forward on someone else.

Only the bloggers will beat this drum ad nauseum and everyone else will get tired of hearing about it and won't care.... trust me, this happens all the time.

Answer 7

The media are a bunch of liberals. They want Hillary to win.

Answer 8

Maybe, but nothing happened when the Clintons took money from China in the 1990's. Clinton also gave U.S. military secrets to China. That action put the U.S. at risk for a nuclear missile attack from China. Two foreigners pled guilty but for some reason they didn't go to jail. Also, China secretly helped fund Bill Clinton's legal defense. Democrat politicians don't want the public to know the real facts about Clinton and China.

This is a few of some of the U.S. government's documents. I am sure Democrat politicians don't want you to see them.

Clintons pushed the world into letting China join the WTO, instead of putting trade sanctions on China for numerous violations. Because China is now in the WTO it is difficult to put trade santions on them. And Goldman Sachs predicts China's GDP will surpass the U.S.'s within just 40 years

Because of Clinton, China's GDP is growing 250% faster than the U.S.'s. Goldman Sachs predicts China will replace the U.S. as the number one economic giant . (http://www.the-global-institute.org/act/2006conference/Linn%20-%20Economic%20growth.ppt

Clinton's permanently screwed America by forcing the world to accept China into the WTO. That caused a record growing trade deficit, and it has caused a lot of bankruptcies, car repossessions, and home foreclosures across America.

Clinton has seriously damaged the U.S. economy. Because of Clinton the trade deficit with China will top $1 trillion a year within 10 years. Clinton pushed the U.S. to agree to having China join the World Trade Organization. China is causing the loss of high paying U.S. jobs.

Answer 9

I doubt it. President Clinton was impeached and retained a 65% approval rating.

Answer 10

Not at all. She could drive her campaign bus through an elementary school and still get the nomination...
