Hillary Clinton’s Grand Canyon of Deep Distrust

How her cynical attacks on Sanders have left a sour taste in the mouths of democrats


If my stomach churned throughout the six years Hillary Clinton supported the Iraq war, which only changed weeks before the Iowa caucus in 2008, it churned even more when Ms. Clinton charged—falsely and without shame—that Bernie Sanders would destroy Obamacare and undermine Medicare, which is the exact opposite of the truth.


The incontrovertible fact that virtually all of Mr. Sanders’ supporters know, and a huge majority of the almost unanimous Democratic establishment that supports her privately believes, is that Ms. Clinton is plagued by a trust gap and an enthusiasm gap that is the wider than the Grand Canyon and deeper than the Atlantic.

Just in the last few days Ms. Clinton said with a straight face the Wall Street firms that paid her huge fees for private speeches—that by contract include her words that are still being kept secret today—and which have donated vast sums of money to her campaigns over more than three decades, do not expect anything in return for their generosity to her good fortune.

Also in recent days Ms. Clinton stated, also with a straight face, that Mr. Sanders is the candidate of the establishment and she is not, because he served longer in the Senate than she did!

She is just so distasteful. It's stunning how people can support someone like that.

I really think Hillary supporters are the people that life is ok for right now, and they don't mind pulling up the ladders after they've gotten where they are, or are just happy that there is someone on the rung below them. It's truly Republican-esque with her.
