POTUS Airplane Pilot Meme: Heard on am Joe. "Crook vs idiot."

Do not attack me. I didn't call her a crook. It's the meme heard at an airport:

"If the plane is in trouble, and my choice of pilot is a crook who's a really good pilot, I'll take the crook, rather than the idiot who's honest."

I personally don't think HRC has done anything wrong or criminal, (except for her Iraq vote years ago) but the argument really makes sense.

And HRC isn't a crook, either, so I don't see how this meme "heard at an airport" makes sense. Sounds like a meme made up by someone on that show.

you're not going to change that perception. It's in their mind and it's not leaving. It gratifies them, mostly because they don't want to believe a woman is president, but also because of decades of accusations. Of course they're unfounded. Of course fRump is the real criminal. But there are many people you'll never convince.

I thought this was a way to get around people who just can't escape the propaganda. THey can continue to believe what their friends and family say, but still vote for her.

Hey- anyway you can get that vote, she'll take it right now.
