friendly exchange or dark secrets?

                   Editors of USA TODAY wrote an article called "Clinton’s email server a hurdle for some voters: Your Say" on March 27, 2016. This is an opinion article concerning the Hilary Clintons email scandal. Writer Carl Helfeldt, started off the opinion article with some strong concerns that Clinton has violated classified laws and rules that are not to be overlooked. Writer Charles Michael Sitero, on the other had, says he can overlook this mishap Clinton had if it will stop Donald Trump from getting a spot in the white house. He believes voting for someone with a small scandal of mistrust is better than voting for someone ready to do more damage to our nation rather than helping it. One of the last major views of this article was made by writer Cornell Davis. He believes the strong attention brought to Clintons email scandal was created by republicans and media to frame Clinton as an untrustworthy candidate. Davis says we should give Clinton some slack, we are all human.

                    Based on the opinions in this article I would have to say I am a little undecided. I do think Clinton has violated laws that need to be upheld especially for a presidential candidate. On the other hand, its hard to make a pick between two bad choices which neither you really trust or have confidence in. In this case, you almost have to pick the lesser evil at this point. This is why I think Sitero has a good point. As of now Clinton may be the lesser evil, but you never really know how well she will handle the white house duties until she is actually in that position. In my opinion, I think Clinton should just had over the server and prove there is nothing to hide and she wouldn't even have this big dilemma of being portrayed as untrustworthy. If she chooses not to, she and her followers can not complain of the lost votes because not handing them over creates suspicion. Overall I think Clinton should be held responsible for her mistakes but it does not necessarily make her completely untrustworthy and does not mean she's not the better candidate.
