Let It Go, Media: Hillary Clinton Does NOT Have a Trust and Honesty Problem

By Peter Daou July 15, 2016

snip//

Joe Biden:


“The hardest thing is vouching. When you vouch for them you say ‘I’m putting my reputation on the line. I believe this person is a good person, has character.’ You’re putting your rep on the line. You’re saying, ‘I think this person has character,’ and that’s what I’m prepared to do for Hillary.”

The list of political leaders, public officials, organizations, and labor unions who have endorsed Hillary, who have expressed faith in her to lead our country, is long.

Hillary has the trust and support of people like President Obama, Michelle Obama, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, John Lewis, Joe Biden, Lilly Ledbetter, Dolores Huerta, Jim Clyburn, Morgan Freeman, Cecile Richards, Jerry Brown, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bernice King, and numerous others.

Not to mention 15.8 million voters who cast their ballot for her, entrusting her with their future.

I had the privilege of working as an adviser to Hillary and getting to know her personally. Like countless people who have worked for her, I have staked my own reputation on the fact that she is an upstanding person, someone of honesty, trustworthiness, decency and dignity. No amount of second-guessing by pundits or polls will change how I view her.

Earlier this year, I expressed my thoughts in a piece titled Hillary Clinton Is One of the Most Ethical (and Most Lied About) Political Leaders in America.

Hillary never sent or received any email marked classified. Comey's dishonest insinuations to the contrary have been proven wrong:

I stop watching them years ago, all of them. I do my research on the net.

Just look at the money behind the lies.

Karl Rove, the Koch brothers, and billionaire conservative moneymen like Paul Singer have spent inordinate sums to paint a malignant picture of Hillary, using sophisticated propaganda techniques to render her toxic to the American electorate. But the fact is this: From Whitewater to Benghazi to her emails, nobody can point to a single instance of corruption or purposeful wrongdoing on Hillary Clinton’s part. None. Zero. Ever.


That says it all!

Thanks SunSeeker.

Clinton tells it like it is, and some people just can't handle the truth....

When we hear so many repeat it, it means the Republican tactic is working.

Which means they'll double down, and now we get 3rd grade playground "Lyin' Hillary" from a moronic bully.

When Trump's lies, and other Republican lies come out, at least we'll have facts backing us up.

The whole anti-establishment thing is weird. It's like a lame excuse for avoiding the issues
