Byron York: As Clinton struggles, will Trump stay out of the way?
By Byron York (@ByronYork) • 10/31/16 2:25 PM
Politically speaking, Hillary Clinton's resurgent email scandal has given Donald Trump a new chance for victory. Around the time of the last debate — less than two weeks ago — Clinton led Trump by 7.1 points in the RealClearPolitics four-way average of national polls. Now, even before the public impact of the email developments is fully known, that lead has shrunk to 2.4 points.
So what does Trump do? In the past, whenever Clinton has had email problems, or foundation problems, or WikiLeaks problems, some in the press argued those matters would have been front-page news had not Trump done something, or said something, or been the subject of some revelation even newsier than the Clinton story. Now, there's nothing newsier than the FBI's renewed investigation into Clinton's emails.
And so far, Trump has stayed out of the way of Clinton's troubles. A prime example was his speech Sunday evening in Greeley, Colo. Of course Trump mentioned his opponent's email issue — who wouldn't? — but he did not dwell on the subject at anywhere near the length he has in the past.
