Todd on Hillary’s E-mail Scandal: Dems Believe She Has ‘Not Handled This Well’

‘They [Clinton Camp] have not done enough to calm jittery Democrats’

"Now you have Democrats accepting the idea that Hillary is in trouble, that she's got a problem she’ got to deal with it. Look at what happened this morning. Bill Nelson, senior Democratic senator, saying this -- they have not handled this well. John Yarmouth, not exactly a bomb thrower [indecipherable] Louisville Democratic congressman saying this thing could upend her campaign. He’s confused. He doesn’t know where the facts began. The Clinton’s campaign response is, OK, they know they have a factual problem that they have to get up to their surrogates. But this -- a) this isn't going away. And I do think this is -- they have not done enough to calm jittery Democrats. These numbers, yes, some of the general election numbers I would write off. But the fact is -- right when Biden is making phone calls trying to find out what's going on. Look, this is all coming at a fascinating time. I got Jerry Brown, by the way, on “Meet the Press” as well. I will be interested to see what he says. Now, Jerry Brown was [pressured] on this. In March he was asked if e-mails would just go away and he goes, "No, they may not go away. These things have a tendency to go in directions you don't expect." That was Jerry Brown in March asked about Hillary and the e-mail server."
