Will the Kanton controversy derail the film makers' efforts?

1. More like Clinton losing will derail his plans.

2. Oh, if this continues, the Clinton folks will kick his video cameras out

they can't afford to have their comments recorded to haunt them.

I would say the new documentary may well be in great peril - it will never be completed.

3. I'm going to watch it...
It's been on before..hubby watched it..but he said you wouldn't notice what was said unless you were paying attention, and looking specifically for it. He heard it on the "War Room" video from YouTube..not the doctored version. I'm going to hold out judgment until after I see it on Sundance. I know that our audio equipment will do a much better job of providing sound clarity than YouTube.

5. You misunderstand
the new documentary will be about this campaign it will be Hillary's war room today - 15 years later.

That is, of course, if all this controversy doesn't derail their efforts. I mean who can take a chance of having something captured on video that one day will make them look bad?

4. I Would Like To Be A Fly On The Wall At HRC's Campaign HQ Today.......
I wonder what expletives they are dropping today about us voters? And another thought - have any Repugs commented on this video yet? What is Rush, Hannity and McCain saying about this? Did they jump on the bandwagon to damn Hillary for this or have they taken her side? I think their reaction to this will be telling as to the veracity of the video and what they will do with it in the run-up to the GE.
