Taegan Goddard, Political Wire - “One topic that often comes up in serious conversations about 2016 presidential politics is whether questions about Hillary Clinton’s trustworthiness will be her undoing. Not surprisingly, many of her fiercest critics passionately want this to be the case, but even some of her closest advisers are known to be very concerned about it,” National Journal reports.
“There is no doubt that voters want to be able to trust a president, but it should be remembered that Bill Clinton won an election in 1992 with large deficits in the honesty department…. Four years later, when Clinton was seeking reelection, he was underwater on the ABC/Post honesty question… In October—before his reelection by a margin of more than 8 percentage points and 200 electoral votes—22 percent of respondents said the president was more honest, and 52 percent said he was less. People had doubts—but elected and reelected him anyway.”
A new Morning Consult poll shows just 19% of voters say Clinton is honest and trustworthy.

Mo voter should ever vote for a politician that lies.
Supposedly, these politicians are there to serve as our representatives in a democratic government. A politician that lies is essentially executing a coup that takes the power in a society away from the people, which is where its supposed to reside in a democracy. Obviously, a politician that's lying to the voters is not giving voters to make effective choices about who's going to represent them in this democracy.
When you vote for lying politicians, you are helping to destroy American democracy.
