ABC’s Cecilia Vega reported Sunday that the Hillary Clinton campaign was “certainly in damage control mode” in the aftermath of her FBI interview over the criminal investigation into her private email server, adding that trust was an issue even with her own supporters.
Clinton was interviewed by the FBI for three-and-a-half hours as the probe into her private server and potential mishandling of criminal investigation at the State Department entered its final stages. Vega said the interview happening on a Saturday morning of a holiday weekend was part of the campaign’s strategy to limit the bad publicity.
“There were no videos, no photos of Hillary Clinton going in or out of the FBI headquarters,” Vega said. “That’s the last thing the campaign wanted in this, for an image like that to emerge. Her campaign is certainly in damage control mode right now.”
Vega said the campaign wants to change the narrative and hopes the public will be distracted by 4th of July festivities.
“But Cecilia, you cover this campaign every day. You talk to senior officials,” This Week host Martha Raddatz said. “Do they not get how serious this is, how this looks to voters?”
“They get that trust and honesty is a huge problem for Hillary Clinton, if not the biggest problem facing her right now as she heads into this general election against Donald Trump,” Vega said.
Indeed, polls show that while Trump is viewed even more negatively than Clinton, voters give him higher marks on honesty and trustworthiness.
Vega then dropped this bombshell to end her report.
“The real problem, Martha, is they may not be able to change all of these minds out there,” Vega said. “You and I have both spoken with people all around this country, even Hillary Clinton supporters who say they don’t trust her either.”
Yes, but they’ll gladly vote for her.
Nonsense.
She’s ahead in the polls. Her supporters trust her to mess America up royally, thereby making them feel better about being life-long screw-ups.
But they will STILL VOTE for her because she’s an EVIL DEMOCRAT...one with a vagina, and that’s all they care about! SAD.
Trump for President.
read down to the part about no vids or pictures were taken,
Don't be so sure about that.
Polls are meaningless now, all of them including the ones now showing Trump ahead or tied.
Polls are no longer informational they are instead crafted to direct the public in the direction the pollster desires.
I trust Hillary Clinton.
I trust that she will say or do anything to get wealth and power.
It isn't about trust or honesty to Hillary's supporters. It's about Hillary's ability to give them free stuff.
Which polls? Rasmussen says Trump is ahead.
When respondents are asked about specifics, Trump scores higher in every category. The economy, national security, honesty, immigration, you name it--Trump polls way above Clinton. But overall, he is viewed more negatively???
This makes no sense.
“The real problem, Martha, is they may not be able to change all of these minds out there,” Vega said. “You and I have both
Don't worry. Katy Perry has 90 million twitter followers that she tweets to. The message she tweets to her airhead followers is vote for Hillary.
3 big mysteries of the world right now:
1. Why does Kanye West have a career?
2. Just who did Negan kill in The walking dead tv show?
3. Why are Democrats insane enough to nominate Hillary?
The big worry?
While not a psychiatrist, one strongly suspects that Mrs. Clinton might be beyond psychologically unfit for any elected office; and, if she gets a pass re the email crimes, Benghazi, (and the raft of other crimes and acts of deceit), might feel justified and empowered go seriously rogue beginning the first day. (Love to be wrong in this, psych professionals welcome to correct my suspicions.)
Ditto what you said.
Selling their souls to Satan and selling out their country. I believe that would qualify them as being traitors, ya think? One could also say they’re spitting on the graves of American patriots who sacrificed all for this nation. Is there anything lower or more reprehensible? I think NOT.
Don't be so sure about that.
Yup. There are times when she wishes she had the other package.
