It's been one year since Hillary Clinton announced her run for the White House, and though she is a "very weak candidate," she's been aided by the fractious GOP, says columnist Charles Krauthammer.
"She's a very weak candidate. I said so at the beginning," Krauthammer said Tuesday on
Fox News Channel's "Special Report." "I was wrong about how weak [Republican Donald] Trump would be. I've been right about her."
Clinton is lucky, he said, "because in a completely losable year, where she really should lose, and she can beat Sanders, she should lose and she has run into a GOP committing suicide, and I think her chances are extremely strong as a result."
On the flip side, Clinton is a "great bringer-together of Republicans," fellow panelist George Will said, alluding to Clinton's own struggles over the past year, including the Benghazi investigation and her use of a private email server when she was secretary of state.
"It's an old saying: 'Overnight is a long time in American politics, and a week is forever,'" Will said. "And by the time the convention's done and the dust is settled, and we've gotten used to the fact that there is a precedent, lots of precedent actually for conventions being deliberative bodies as opposed to just ratifying bodies. There she's going to be, unifying the Republicans."
