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!
But not Liberal Democrats by 3.5+ million. nt onehandle May 2016 #1

Those caucus voter totals wouldn't add up to a three million vote deficit KingFlorez May 2016 #4
They would certainly make the number offered false and misleading. But the "it's not a complete lie" Attorney in Texas May 2016 #5

That's probably the best response when caught red-handed pushing misleading numbers. Attorney in Texas May 2016 #8
