Clinton Spins Immigration, Emails
In her first national interview of the 2016 presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton falsely claimed that all Republican presidential candidates dont want to provide a path to citizenship, and she distorted the facts on her exclusive use of private email as secretary of state.

"You've Got Time"
The animals, the animals
Trapped, trapped, trapped 'till the cage is full
The cage is full
Stay awake
In the dark, count mistakes
The light was off but now it's on
Searching the ground for a bitter song
The sun is out, the day is new
And everyone is waiting, waiting on you
And you've got time
And you've got time
Think of all the roads
Think of all their crossings
Taking steps is easy
Standing still is hard
Remember all their faces
Remember all their voices
Everything is different
The second time around
The animals, the animals
Trapped, trapped, trapped 'till the cage is full
The cage is full
Stay awake
In the dark, count mistakes
The light was off but now it's on
Searching the ground for a bitter song
The sun is out, the day is new
And everyone is waiting, waiting on you
And you've got time
And you've got time
And you've got time

(36,988 posts)Trustworthiness is a tricky thing in politics, a label that everyone demands but no one fully deserves. The reason has less to do with the integrity of the players than the rules of the game. Distortion, denial, defamationthey all work. Only a straight-talking sucker would really play it straight all the time.
So one must be careful not to pass too harsh a judgement on Hillary Clinton, for whom polls reveal a real perception problem when it comes to being honest or trustworthy. CNNs national polling sample says 57% of Americans dont think she is either. ABC News and the Wall Street Journal put that number at 52%.
In an interview with CNN on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton blamed the numbers on her political enemies. This has been a theme that has been used against me and my husband for many, many years, she said. And at the end of the day, I think voters sort it all out.
Then she proceeded to demonstrate why voters may not ultimately come down on her side. While casting herself as the victim of false smears, she mischaracterized the circumstances surrounding her handling of records kept in a private email server Secretary of State. The comment that set off the fact checkers was a five-word sentence.

There is an irony here worthy of Shakespeare. In fighting back against what she sees as unfounded attacks, she threatens to become the thing her foes always accused her of beingnot someone who can be seen as honest or trustworthy.
