I actually know a lot of people who don't pay as much attention to politics as we do, who would never vote for Hillary because of all the "scandals." Which angers me, because obviously they are nonsense.
I have this friend, goes to my school, he says he would never vote for Hillary. He thinks she's corrupt and untrustworthy. If I had to guess, I'd say he's a moderate conservative, but he supports Bernie Sanders because he thinks the GOP field is crazy, would never support a Bush, and thinks Sanders is sincere when he talks about the issues. Also, my grandfather, he's a Democrat, he says he would never vote for Hillary (see: reasons above). He would also never vote for Jeb. Given, he's not really low information, he's actually more informed than your average bear, but I'm not sure he's really looked in-depth into these "scandals."
My point is, this is seriously hurting Hillary with low information voters. It's really depressing that they make up so much of the electorate. With people who are informed, and are not grasping at straws trying to find something to kill Hillary's campaign, these "scandals" are obviously nonsense. But high information voters make up a minority of the electorate. These "scandals" are damaging her with people who vote based on the candidates' character (which benefited us in 2012, because they surely vote against Romney) and not on their stances on the issues.
