I don't know much about Sanders but Sanders has one major fault - He is Jewish. This shouldn't matter, but the moment Sanders did anything with Israel people will say "He is giving Israel favored status" or some such non-sense.
I am not saying all of this is planned out well in advance, but you already know both sides have teams set up right now working on the next election. You know the Republicans have a group somewhere looking at the next round of candidates for 2020 in the even Trump loses (or even if he wins). And the Democrats have the same, vetting candidates for the next run in case Clinton loses or in the even she wins but doesn't run in 2020.

I kinda agree with most of that. But if it were that alone, no big deal. Put that in with all the other raised issues, it does not help with the swing vote.
It has been clear to me the the right had it in for her early on knowing she was going to run and had the best chance of winning no matter who they put up.
So it has been a long campaign of smear for many years. Making much to do 'bout nut'n.
Several years ago,knowing this, I just knew if she won, it was going to be as bad or worse scandals as Bill had, even though most or many would have no foundation in fact.
You can see what happens when folks are so reactionary. Can you name some other democrate that would have passed the repeal of Glass-Steagle in 1999 while he was under the gun for Monica, a non-issue for me even though I did not exactly like him.
When the public is so reactionary to slander, it weakens government as a whole.
It allows those who are good at it to have their way with all of us.
