CNN’s Dana Bash explained Thursday that undecided voters putting stock in the internal Clinton campaign emails published by WikiLeaks are Hillary Clinton’s “achilles heel” in the election.

“A new batch” of the WikiLeaks emails is “very awkward for Bill Clinton right now, talking about the millions he’s made since leaving office,” noted Wolf Blitzer.
Bash explained that this “would be” a big problem “if [Bill Clinton] was still in office,” but admitted that it could still be a major obstacle for Hillary come November 8.
She stated that these stories “reinforce, ‘oh, there they go again.’ It’s the Clintons trying to make themselves rich, trying to use their influence and contacts to benefit themselves, all of the things people don’t like about them say about them.”
“Those people who do like them, worry, is their Achilles Heel,” Bash continued. “This just completely plays in going back to the Lincoln Bedroom in the 90s. It’s part of the same narrative that if you go into the voting booth and are thinking, ‘do I want Washington to change or do I want something new?'”
“Maybe, if you’re that undecided you think, ‘oh right. It’s the Clintons. This is a reminder. Never mind, I’m going to take my chances with Donald Trump.”
