In May, Morning Consult polled people with an unfavorable view of Hillary Clinton about why they didnt like her. Fifty-eight percent said she was too liberal, while 22 percent said she was too conservative. But 82 percent of Hillary-averse voters said she was corrupt, and 88 percent said she was untrustworthy. These are the beliefs that unite her foes across the political spectrum. Its why Trump, with his devious talent for derisive nicknames, was smart to dub her Crooked Hillary.
Some of the examples Trump chose to reinforce this caricature are true. Describing Clinton as a world-class liar, he said, Just look at her pathetic email and server statements, or her phony landing in Bosnia where she said she was under attack but the attack turned out to be young girls handing her flowers, a total self-serving lie. Brian Williams career was destroyed for saying far less. One could quibble about whose exaggerations have been greater, but Clintons Bosnia tale really was mostly made up, and it will likely haunt her throughout the campaign.
Trump is clearly hoping to reach working-class whites in places like Ohio, where a recent poll shows him tied with Clinton. Well never be able to fix a rigged system by counting on the same people who rigged it in the first place, he said. The insiders wrote the rules of the game to keep themselves in power, and in the money. Thats why were asking Bernie Sanders voters to join our movement, so together we can fix the system for all Americans. This includes fixing all of our many disastrous trade deals. Because its not just the political system thats rigged. Its the whole economy.
