1 in 5 Americans say Hillary Clinton is "dishonest" or a "liar."
Washington Post ^ | 2/24/16 | Chris Cillizza

Gallup released a fascinating bit of data Tuesday that speaks to Clinton’s trust problem. They asked people to offer up the first word or phrase that came to mind when the name “Hillary Clinton” was mentioned.

One in five people — unprompted by the poll taker — offered up some version of Clinton as "dishonest" or a "liar." That's somewhat remarkable given that these open-ended questions typically produce a gigantic muddle of something like 25 words or phrases — all of which garner somewhere between 5 and 8 percent support.

1 out of 5? That is probably not an accurate view of Hillary (it’s too forgiving). A better approach would be to ask straight-up: Do you think Hillary is a liar?

I’d bet you’d get 3 out of 5, minimum, saying yes.

you bet, 1 in 5. Gallop must have been made an unrefusable offer from the Clintons to publish this. Accordingly, the queen of crime will be wearing a halo before the election.

Conservative, God-fearing people are looking at this the WRONG way. We see it as being bad to lie, because “God hates liars.” and “Satan is the father of lies.” according to our belief system. Liberals, however, abhor God and His Word. They are ATTRACTED to someone who lies as they see it as the WAY to get things done against opposition. She will gain MORE votes by lying. All that is left are the consequences.
