Elise Jordan: Clinton ‘Has Tougher Battle in Public Opinion’ than Trump

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
BRZEZINSKI: "I think she’s been able to — and some of this stuff is pile on, Steve Rattner. Elise, I should ask you that. When you see these lawsuits looking for text messages, is it fair to call it frivolous? I do."
JORDAN: "See, I don’t think so because it needs to be resolved and that’s the Bob this whole process that it is dragging on for so long and part of it — I worked at the State Department and I attribute it to government bureaucracy taking so long. People at the State Department who have written books and they’ve tried to get the books reviewed by the State Department and it goes on for years and years and they publish their book and the State Department is surprised. It’s these release of information and approvals can take way too long. What I do think, though, the lawsuits, the huge problem for Clinton going into a general up against Donald Trump, Donald Trump has huge unfavorables but they’re unfavorables if he ran a decent campaign and showed discipline that could go away. The brashness, the inappropriateness, the crudeness, that can be overcome if he did — if he wanted to, if she showed some discipline, there’s the potential there. With Hillary Clinton, overcoming this scandal is very difficult because the impression is she’s a liar and she’s got something to hide and untrustworthy. That’s a tougher battle in public opinion."
