Can Hillary overcome the 'liar' factor?
Politico ^ | 8/27/2015 | STEVEN SHEPARD

Hillary Clinton took a new tack this week when answering questions about her use of a private email account as secretary of state: She took responsibility and admitted she was at fault.

“It clearly wasn’t the best choice,” Clinton said flatly on Wednesday, as she campaigned in Iowa.

On Thursday, the reason for the change in tone came into sharper focus with a stunning new poll illustrating the extent to which voters don’t trust Clinton to tell the truth.

While Republicans have been test-driving attacks against Clinton for a year and a half, no other line of attack has broken through to this degree. The numbers in a new Quinnipiac University poll are striking: More than 3-in-5 voters, 61 percent, think Clinton isn’t honest and trustworthy. Overall, Clinton’s favorability ratings slipped to 39 percent — her lowest rating since Quinnipiac began polling on Clinton after she and her husband left the White House.

When are the liberal turds in the state-controlled “media” going to ask the freeloading ‘RAT voters which DemocRAT they WOULD NEVER vote for?

Many people seem to think a campaign is literally like running a marathon, someone can just sit behind the whole race then suddenly turn on the jets in the final stretch.

Bad analogy. In politics, perceptions formed are hard to break. Hillary’s actions (and non-actions) over the last few years have definitely soured a lot of people on her “character”, and she probably can’t turn that around in a few months.

Bad press conferences with less-than-honest answers sure didn’t help. Fact is, she’s just a lousy candidate with no political instincts. The Madonna of Politics.

The question is “Will voters be stupid enough to allow Hillary! to overcome the liar factor?”

Problem is, the answer is probably “Yes.”

No one can depend on Hillary for the wall when she can’t even manage a simple (computer) tower.

I agree 100%. One of the funniest things a politician can say is, “I take total responsibility.” If they did, they’d all be in jail. It’s like you say, empty words.

Only if she becomes, overnight, as fluid a liar as Bill and delivers he whoppers as if they are the truth and tells even bigger ones to cover her past mendacity.

If she cannot do that, she cannot recover.

an electorate stupid enough to re-elect Obama is stupid enough to elect Hilary, or Biden....

It depends on “the meaning of Liar”, it could be considered a fib?

Despite her dishonesty and general unlikeability, it is too soon to write her off. If the Clinton machine can destroy her challengers (Biden has had two previous presidential campaigns that were total flops, and the DNC may be afraid of letting Bernie be the nominee), she can still win the nomination, and the usual ballot stuffing in Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, etc., may put her over the top in the electoral college.

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

Translated into English from an article appearing in the Czech Republic as published in the Prager Zeitung of 28 April 2010
