The Democratic governor of Colorado suggested Thursday that if Hillary Clinton broke the law with the use of a private email server, it “would be the death knell” for her campaign.

Speaking at a Denver forum, Gov. John Hickenlooper said Clinton had the background needed to president that her Republican rivals didn’t, according to The Denver Post.

“But,” he said, “I don’t know where this whole thing is going to go in terms of her … [e-mail] server and whether there is something in there that is really going to turn out to have broken the law — which I think would be the death knell.”

  1. It isn’t the death knell for Clinton. It is going to make things harder for her, but if she were to play up the right things about it including how hard it was to crack her server, she might actually turn it around and use it against the Republicans.

  2. Hickenlooper is a fruit loop to begin with. But I guess it is now safe to say he won’t be in President Clinton’s cabinet.

  3. Dem Governor and concern troll…

  4. Generally speaking, it’s better to keep quiet and have people think you’re an idiot than to speak up and remove all doubt.

  5. I was JUST about to say “Thank you for your concern, Governor Hick.”
