Chuck Todd: Hillary Clinton Has a ‘Character Problem’ and a ‘Connection Problem’

‘Bill Clinton had a character problem but he never had a connection problem’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
SCARBOROUGH: "Chuck Todd, again, for Hillary Clinton to be trotting out the vast right wing conspiracy when you have when you have the Justice Department, the State Department, the inspectors generals from the Intel agencies actly these are Obama Administration officials doing. This is all Obama Administration doing this, no Republicans, it seems it makes her seem more desperate and undermines her credibility further."
TODD: "One in three New Hampshire Democrats said the most important characteristic was honest and trustworthiness. One in three Democrats. Her explanation may be exactly right to Rachel about the — that this is year and nothing has been proven but over time you can’t help but leave a stain on her and all this stuff. It — the — that’s what she’s facing right now and this is coming at a rough time. It duds — this is I agree with Chris, you’re not talking about house Republicans and the Clinton campaign will say one of the inspector generals used to work for chuck grassley and this or that they’re put in these positions because they’re thought to be less partisan than your average person and ultimately the FBI’s not partisan at all so this is taking a huge toll. I don’t know how they fix this. But that honest and trustworthy — look, off character problem and a connection problem. Bill Clinton had a character problem but he never had a connection problem. So he could overcome it. Her issue is she has both this character question hanging over her head in honest and trustworthiness and then she’s got some one in four voters who don’t believe she cares about people like me, you know, that issue. So she’s fighting this dual front. It’s a big problem."
