Chuck Todd: Clinton’s E-mail Troubles ‘the Last Thing’ Kentucky Democrats Need in 2015

‘This is the seat that the Democrats think they can hold’

SCARBOROUGH: “How big of a political problem is it? I mean, this week you had The Des Moines Register with a really tough op-ed, you had the Detroit News saying [there] needs to be a special prosecutor, you have Democrats saying enough, get this behind you.”

TODD: “I think it’s – I think the fact that Democ[rats] -- When you're Bill Nelson, who's not a bomb thrower, go public, when you have John Yarmouth, OK, this is -- by the way, there is one major election this year, Kentucky governor. And I’ve heard on the ground Kentucky Democrats, it's hard enough dealing with Obama and coal in Kentucky as a Democrat, and this is a seat that Democrats think they can hold. This is Beshear, he's not running again. Mitch McConnell’s nemesis got the Republican nomination, is got Matt Bevin. All the Democrats has to do is run Mitch McConnell [indecipherable]. I have heard on the ground this Hillary thing is like, that’s the last thing they need. That they are -- if they lose this race, they almost would attribute it more to Hillary than Obama. So that's your definition of a political problem.”
