2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders Is Already President Of Liberals and Populists [View all]Attorney in Texas
(3,373 posts)2. No wonder no one trusts Hillary - there is that false and dishonest number again. How many votes did
you and Hillary assign to the voters in Washington, Maine, Alaska, Wyoming, etc., who overwhelmingly preferred Sanders over Hillary? {SPOILER ALERT - your vote "total" isn't much of a total}
A candidate who a majority of American voters have found to be dishonest ought to try to stay away from public-perception-reinforcing arguments like this which are so obviously misleading that anyone with a middle-school education can see that they are being misled.
Yet Hillary and you cannot stop yourselves from going there. Repeatedly.
Is there any wonder that as recently as May 10, 2016, more than three times as may people found Hillary dishonest and untruthful as found her to be honest?
Do you agree or disagree that Hillary Clinton is honest and truthful?
Disagree 62.1%
Agree 20.3%
WOW!

Maybe this is why nobody trusts Hillary. Maybe she thinks expecting truth is "nitpicking"
