2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI Trust Her
I really don't care that the media continues to tell us Hillary can't be trusted. 99% of that meme is based on lies that have been told for 30 years. The remaining 1% is called being human.
I trust her.

Loved this one! A terrific overview, point-by-point, and very nicely in context:

Just fresh, today from the FBI:

Jill Abramson, self-admittedly not a fan of either Clintons, but is forced to concede the facts just don't lie - and neither does HRC:

From Mother Jones of all places?!? They originally staunchly stood by Bernie Sanders over Hillary.

(47,209 posts)And there would be a mix of those working with them, it is what it is. Locally we have a lot of corruption and a totally honest mayor. She can't get a lot done because the assholes oppose her every move. Locally it's not such a bad thing, in the Oval Office it's a bigger problem. A lot of compromises and half measures have to be employed to deal with the situation as it stands now. But Trump is ridiculous, as are most of the GOP. There's no equivalence to that among Dems.

(10,893 posts)my trust for being the most truthful out of all 2016 candidates according to fact checkers, and for her past service as Senator and SOS. To all those who still say she's crooked and untrustworthy:

(114,904 posts)Some of it is republican generated animus and faux charges. Some of it is of her own doing.
I'm voting for her. I expect her to be President. I hope to be proven wrong, but no, sorry, I don't trust her- and it has nothing to do with republican memes.

(4,840 posts)The moment she said "When there are no ceilings, the sky's the limit", you could tell she was so proud of that simple line. I wouldn't have thought much of the line myself but there was a sincerity in her smile and face attached to it that made me think she's really a genuine and good person, she means it.
