Nevadans have *zero* trust in Clinton, but voted for her to be President...Alll rightyyy then...
NV entrance polls showed Sanders extremely trustworthy and Clinton extremely NOT trustworthy.
Same polls showed Clinton with high experience and 'able to win the GE'. So, if I read this right, Nevadans have zero trust in Clinton but still what her to be President because of her experience and perceived ability to win the GE. There is absolutely nothing you can say about these results, as it makes no sense.

Go ahead and hide my post or flag it but there is zero to believe in when it comes to her. Her own hypocracy played back to back on video proves it. From her own mouth. Truth is truth and I haven't the time to have "class" - You know what? It's time to break down all these classes anyway. American Caste system needs to go. I personally feel you have no right to tell me to have class. Who are you to tell me how to post? I call it like I see it. Hillary Clinton doesn't tell the truth consistently. What would you call a person who consistently doesn't tell the truth?

26. They Were Using ELECTRONIC VOTE STEALING MACHINES In Clark County Operated by
some embedded Vote Manipulators! http://usuncut.com/politics/the-nevada-caucus-is-a-complete-fiasco/
Politics The Nevada Caucus is a Complete Fiasco Tom Cahill | February 20, 2016 136 SHARES According to the latest on-the-ground reports from Democratic caucus-goers in Nevada, the entire process is being described as a “fiasco” where confusion and deception is rampant. The Reno Gazette-Journal (RGJ) reported that there were “long lines, too few ballots” at caucus locations. Gwen Ritchie, who was caucusing at Hug High School in Washoe County, told the RGJ that her caucus was supposed to start at 11:30 AM local time, yet she and others were still waiting by 12:45. Edwin Basl, who is caucusing at Peavine Elementary School, told RGJ that he was experiencing “Completely silly loooonnnnngggg waiting lines. This should be a primary vote, not a caucus process.” Reports of too few paper ballots are widespread. In one instance, voters with no ballots were told to wait in line to see precinct captains, who had more paper ballots. After waiting for hours, voters were told that they had to move all the way to the back of the line. One man reportedly waited for over 80 minutes due to ballot issues: The lines to register stretched on for hours. Reddit user PartyPartyKickIt reported that many of the people were physically unable to stand in long lines at precinct 2008, Cheyenne High School: Many of the people leaving are disabled. They did not come prepared to wait in lines for this amount of time, and there is no express line for disabled citizens. There are also allegations of dirty tricks and deception. Reddit user SamBoeres posted a photo of a sign-in sheet at his caucus, precinct 5616, that had a Hillary For Nevada logo. The person passing out the sign-in sheet said it was “for the democratic party,” despite the obvious campaign logo: One Twitter user captured video of Hillary Clinton supporters caucusing for the former Secretary of State without registering. When the person filming asked a precinct volunteer about it, they were told the Clinton supporters would register after caucusing: There were also reports of supposed precinct volunteers registering new Democratic voters and automatically marking their preference for Hillary Clinton. Reddit user PPG113, who was caucusing at precinct 6686, alleged one precinct volunteer was working in tandem with the Clinton campaign: registered early, followed directions at my caucus location. Had to reregister and the person copying my info attempted to marked me down for a differnt person than I told them. Only corrected after bringing it up 3 times… The Volunteer was at the express desk, and no one seemed to know that were SUPPOSE to also still allow democratic party registration, though that is a different matter. Said volunteer clicked on hillary on his screen when I told him clearly Bernie, he froze, and on my third repeat, he corrected it as I stared at him. What, if anything it changes, I do not know since it was not my ballet sheet he was marking. After an hour or so, he happened to walk into my precinct and to the Hillary group’s tables. And as US Uncut reported earlier today, Hillary Clinton supporters were seen changing into t-shirts made to look like the t-shirts worn by members of National Nurses United, which is one of Bernie Sanders’ most ardent union supporters. The consumer website FreshDesk has launched a platform for observers to report irregularities at the Nevada caucus. The Sanders campaign has an official hotline, 702-778-4336, which supporters can use to report any issues getting in the way of voting. Tom Cahill is a writer for US Uncut based in the Pacific Northwest. He specializes in coverage of political, economic, and environmental news.

3. To be completely fair, this is NOT in any way unexpected.
Republicans have been marvelling over that for some time too, that Trump's trustworthiness is tanked but he's the leader, and Carson has the highest but he's near last.
People don't vote for who they trust. To be honest, most people vote for who will imprison them the most. Most people don't want actual freedom. It's something they say. And that is my one fear for this election - that too many people truly do hate freedom (or, more specifically, the responsibility that freedom entails) to free themselves from the Establishment. |

16. Very interesting what u're saying...
For people to admit that they dont trust Hillary at all and "Is NOT like me" speaks volumes yet they vote for her?! Its as if they would rather stick with the devil they know than risk heading down a NEW unexplored path which definitely gets the neurons firing (and fear). I agree with your statement.
There was also some Quora post on Psychology talking about how it is much easier and preferred for humans to always choose the simpler choice. I see Hillary Clinton as the easy, few neurons firing, choice for the average simple minded person -- she's been around for some time, the press talks glowingly of her simple evolutionary changes -- whereas with relative unknown Bernie they hear words like socialism, the 1%, campaign finance reform, connections of corrupt money with disparity, etc. Woaaah, neuron overload!!!. It is likened to handing a modern day PS4 game controller to those of the late 70s Atari 2600. Wooosh! I think with time, bit by bit, the average mind gets more advanced compared to its predecessor allowing it to be more open to more complicated change the same way we all got used to a PS4 controller over a one button Atari 2600 joystick. |

28. Unless you talk to people who say that
A guy recently told me "They all lie. I don't trust any politicians, so I'll probably just vote for Hillary because I think she has the best chance to win."
Her campaign is counting on people to buy into the inevitability spin and they don't worry about integrity and honesty numbers. It's a cynical calculation that says a lot about what she thinks of ordinary people. |
