Hillary's honesty problem hits home in NHhttp://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/big_tent/Hillarys-honesty-problem-hits-home-in-NH.html
NASHUA, N.H. Voters in New Hampshires Democratic primary decided that the L word applies to Hillary Clinton.
No, not liberal. Its the one that rhymes with fire and denotes a problem with honesty.
Just over a third of the voters (34 percent) in the primary said that honesty was the most important character trait in their decision on whom to support. Of that group, Sen. Bernie Sanders won 92 percent of their votes, to 6 percent for Clinton, according to exit polls.
Yikes.
Sanders defeated Clinton by a landslide Tuesday, winning more votes than anyone else in the history of New Hampshire presidential primaries. That big a victory will skew some exit poll numbers -- but 92-6?
Ron Senet, 33, of Londonderry, told my colleague Maddie Hanna that he voted for the Vermont senator because I just feel that hes not owned by anyone. I like his ideas, even though hes not sure how realistic they are.
But I dont trust Clinton, said Senet, who works in the automotive industry. I think shes just a part of the political regime.
...
Its true that Republicans over the years have hit Clinton hard for a variety of things, some of it vicious or exaggerated. But shes handed them plenty of ammunition, too, and it is noteworthy that she appears to think she has no responsibility for perceptions that she is not trustworthy.
Ouch! More at the link.

(2,125 posts)2. It would behoove her to address this now
because if she's the nominee, what goes on here on DU is going to seem like a love fest compared to what hay the republicans are going to make of her scandals.
Sometimes it's criticism, not an artful smear or vast RW conspiracy.

How many now have step up to walk back something they said on behalf of a Clinton.
They abuse their friends.
