Vice President Biden: Hillary Clinton faces "double standard" on trustworthiness
CBS News' Face the Nation ^ | October 30, 2016 | Emily Schultheis

With nine days to go until Election Day and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton facing another round of damaging headlines about her private email server, Vice President Joe Biden said Clinton faces a “double standard” when it comes to her authenticity and trustworthiness.

“I get all of this credit for being authentic, and you know, and now even Biden gaffes are now, you know, ‘Biden tells the truth,’ kind of thing,” Biden said in a wide-ranging interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation,” taped Thursday before the news of the FBI’s renewed interest in Clinton’s emails. “But, I’m a guy. I go out, and if I start talking about my Beau and I get filled up, my son who died, they say, ‘Well, he’s just a good decent father, honorable man.’ If she were to do that, you’d have a chorus of, ‘She’s playing the woman card here. She’s crying.’

That double standard, Biden said, has made Clinton tend to “close rather than open” after three decades in public life. He added that part of it, too, is an issue of Clinton’s “personal style” as a politician.

“Hillary said herself, she said, ‘Look, I’m not that good a candidate.’ ... I think she said, ‘I’m not Bill or Barack,’’ Biden said. “And a lot of it has to do with personal style. And I do think … she is more measured and she makes fewer mistakes than I make or most people I know. But I just think it’s more--it doesn’t go to her integrity or honesty. It goes to her style.”(continued)

“Double Standards”? nonsense, Hildabeast has no standards, only what she wants, moment by moment.

His doctor should recheck his meds. Something is interacting badly there.

Double standard the wrong way.

They are letting Hillary get away with security breeches, for which others go to jail.

Hilliarie’s team is concocting a story putting the entire blame on Huma Abedin as we read here today. Come Monday we will probably be subjected to one of the most outrageous lies ever fabricated by the Democrats, Hillary Clinton in political history.

That gives us only hours to get our barf bags lined up.

Reminds me of the time Hillary complained that she was held to a higher standard, the “Hillary standard” for ethics and behavior.

I only heard her say that once. I’m guessing her bitching about an unfair Hillary standard didn’t go over too well with her focus group.

There is a double standard with Hillary on trustworthiness. Anyone else would have been in Leavenworth long ago.

What psychobabble. This man needs some serious counseling on his self absorption. Obama clearly picked this clown for assassination insurance - what other reason could there be?

Just saw a Clinton supporter on TV say it was a mistake for her to do the emails, but the supporter think it was never done on purpose.

HUH, She had an illegal server in her basement, sent emails out over it, and then deleted the server and emails when she was subpoenaed.

These Clinton voters are frigging dumb, and not very informed at all.
I am embarrassed at how stupid, and , or ignorant these people are.

.................
No, it’s because she’s a sociopathic malignant narcissist. Facts are always withheld or obscured so she can operate through a veil of deception.

Had a conversation with an old friend and his wife the other day. He’s for Trump, She’s been a Hillary fan forever.

she claims Hillary is more than qualified “because I read her books”

Claims Trump is going to get us into a war, but denies Hillary had anything to do with Iraq, Iran, Syria, etc.

I love my friend, but his wife is dumber than dirt.

I wonder if this pervert is going to roam around the VP mansion in the nude and go swimming nude with female SS agents around (as he is often wont to do)? What a mega-creep.

My MA Mother in Law , thankfully she is up in MA was at my house a month ago about, and said Trump would get us into a war.
I said we are already in wars.
No response, no reply, as she only watches Ellen, Good Morning America, and the Today show for her news.

I don;t know if I should be sad for them , or just pity their ignorance.
