Cheese Sandwich's JournalWhat is Hillary doing to counter her image as someone who lies a lot?
This is no joke. Several polls have found that voters do not find Hillary Clinton honest or trustworthy.
It's a serious issue. If she gets the nomination this could end up costing us the general election.
Yet she doesn't seem to do anything to acknowledge the problem or address it in any way. She gave secret speeches for millions of dollars to some of the richest most corrupt people. But she won't even release the text of the speeches so we can see what she said.
Did she really tell Wall Street to "cut it out" with the "shenanigans"? Or did she just make that up and really her speeches were full of gushing praise, like some other reports say?
You see for some reason she has a reputation for lying. What is she doing to address this issue? Instead she seems to be working to make it worse.
Poll: Sanders has edge over Clinton in matchups with GOP opponents
In hypothetical matchups in the general election:
• Clinton loses by 2 points to Trump (43%-45%), 1 point to Cruz (44%-45%), 6 points to Rubio (42%-48%) and 11 points to Kasich (38%-49%). That's a weaker standing than the former secretary of State showed in December's survey, when she narrowly led Trump and Cruz and trailed Rubio by just 2 points.
• Sanders loses by 1 point to Trump (43%-44%), 3 points to Kasich (41%-44%) and 4 points to Rubio (42%-46%) — each of them a slightly stronger showing than Clinton — and he leads Cruz by 2 points (44%-42%).

Hillary Clinton still believes in "Super-Predators"?
I guess so. She's never given a speech apologizing or explaining a change of views.
Isn't the "Super-Predator" theory a complete fiction made up to scare people into supporting excessive policing?
The "Super-Predator" is a completely discredited theory to scare white people and jail black people
Several well known African American scholars and leaders have commented on the "super-predator" language.
For example Michelle Alexander has said
And Ta-Nahesi Coates has said
Ben Jealous has said
Anybody who remembers the 80s and 90s will remember the racial undertones of the tough on crime political language that was used to justify all the racist policing and incarceration.
In conclusion that is why super-predator language is racist.
