Democrat Party Operative With Byline Matt Yglesias: Emailgate is a political problem for Hillary Clinton, but it also reveals why she'd be an effective president

Matt Yglesias reports:
she truly is the perfect leader for America's moment of permanent constitutional crisis: a person who cares more about results than process, who cares more about winning the battle than being well-liked, and a person who believes in asking what she can get away with rather than what would look best. In other words, as nervous as the rumblings of scandal around her emails make many Democrats, the exact same qualities that led to the server drama are the ones that, if she wins, will make her capable of delivering on the party's priorities in a way few others could.
Not everyone is a fan of the separation of powers.
