Untrustworthy. That’s how the majority of Americans view Hillary Clinton according to a recent CNN ORC poll.
To anyone following the news this is not a surprise. Clinton has been immersed in scandals, whether it is her secret email server, her tenure at the State Department or the Clinton Foundation donors making financial contributions when they had matters before the State Department that includes arms deals. These are serious questions that voters deserve to have answers to, but Clinton and her aides have been dodging the press and voters.
Her campaign has been one of the least accessible during this campaign cycle. It is ironic that her campaign has been touting since her announcement that she was going to hit reset on her relationship with the press, however as we have seen over the past two months that worked about as well as her Bosnia reset, when Clinton publically claimed that she landed in the country under sniper fire.
Now in hopes that we forget about her past two months on the campaign trail, she is re-launching her campaign on Roosevelt Island, but there is no reason to think that this reset will be any different than her previous failed ones. And not for lack of effort, there will be a lot of hype around her latest reboot.
But, this is a campaign not a coronation. Voters and media want to interact with candidates. They want to hear from them on the issues that matter like the Education, Immigration, TPA and Keystone XL pipeline. Yet, the comments she has given haven’t engendered trust from voters. Let’s review a couple:
On the trade agreement while she was Secretary of State she said that the free-trade deal “will bring together economies from across the Pacific.” And, “create a new high standard for multi-lateral free trade.” But, now on the campaign trail she has been quiet, refusing to support the trade deal or not committing to fight it.
On immigration, before coming out further to the left of President Obama on the issue, Clinton said, “We’ve got to do several things and I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigrants.” And even more recently, when there was an influx of undocumented children at the boarder she said, “We have to send a clear message: Just because your child gets across the border doesn’t mean your child gets to stay.”
Clinton’s statements convey distrust and have given her a reputation of a flip-flopper or a political opportunist. She is constantly changing her stance or being purposefully vague on the issues that matter to voters. Instead of being forthright in handling her scandals she is hiding or committing to photo opportunities or staged press conferences with the “right” optics surrounding her. No wonder a majority of Americans do not trust her and have viable reasons not to. Perhaps she is taking voters for granted again, but that strategy didn’t work well for her in 2008.
Well, they got that right. Hopefully, dispite the hundreds of thousands of yards of BULLSH!T she will spread between now and the election, that won't change.
Untrustworthy? She’s CORRUPT.
America, and everything we hold dear, will be for sale, if she’s elected president.
That’s the pattern, that’s who she’s always been.
TRUST the clintoons to steal us blind, enrich themselves and sell out America... THE BOTH BELONG IN PRISION.... if the FBI and IRS worked, they would both be there.
They are living examples of the BANANNA REPUBLIC RUN BY CORPORATE AMERICA AND FOREIGN INTERESTS...
WE THE PEOPLE IS A JOKE.......
the words are meaningless in today’s political cesspool
THE CONSTITUTION is a joke....
The really sad part is people still volunteer and self sacrifice to support this JOKE.
The treasury has been looted
what is left to steal?
Untrustworthy? HilLIARy is a lying murdering traitor.
Doesn’t that make her untrustworthy?
Of course she is untrustworthy.
That applies to most politicians of both parties.
Is Mitch McConnell trustworthy?
And a whole lot worse!
Like it or not
Are Alexander and Corker trustworthy?
Okay. Now back to bashing Ted Cruz for wanting a free trade bill.
Ha!
What Freepers need to remember (AND REMIND EVERYONE) is that during the Clinton 8 years there was a new (really bad) scandal EVERY 2 weeks.
By the time we would find out lots of details about one thing something else worse would come up and that happened every 2 weeks.
Here is a short list...
NannyGate
TravelGate 5/1993 fired & slimed 7 employees they had the right just to fire.
Strange suicide of Vince Foster
WhiteWater
HillaryCare secrecy
FileGate (900 - or was it really 9000- FBI files in the White house
Lost Rose Law firm billing records suddenly appear proving Hillary lied about her billing hours on other real estate funny business
Pay-to-play junkets
Ron Brown’s death
selling access to WH Lincoln bedroom 800 People in 8 years and all contributed to campaign funds
John Huang - Indonesian money man
Charlie Trie - Commie money man
Johnny Chung - commie money man
$ from poor monks -Algore says there is “no controlling legal authority.
Monica Lewinsky & impeachment
PardonGate - Marc Rich
and then the most recent of
Bengazi
emailGate
& Clinton crime foundation funneling (surprise!) foreign money to the Clintons.....AGAIN!
Each and every one of these could (and lots have) an entire book detailing how it all worked out. These are NOT honest and transparent people.
Do we really want to go thru this again for 4-8 years?
I say there are other cheats and liars we can go with instead.
