Why do people distrust Hillary Clinton? [View all]

I just saw a TV news reporter ask two New Hampshire restaurant owners why they thought Hillary wasn't doing well there. One hesitated before slicing a sandwich in half, searching for words. The other finally said, "She's ... not trusted."

Another thing to put in my large sized "I Don't Get It" file. I don't distrust her. What am I missing? You'd think the over two decades of propaganda aimed at mesmerizing me into believing that Hillary is a terrible person would make a dent, but no. I've always thought she was someone you'd go to first if you needed a good lawyer or be on a committee with.

Why do so many people distrust her? Or DO they? All I know is that we're supposed to think so. Surely the media are owned by The Establishment and clearly they relish every fake scandal, gleefully reporting things like Trump farting out that she "is, in a certain way, evil" -- so why should I consider Hillary a puppet of The Establishment?

The lust to see Hillary Clinton as a forked-tongue devil is vulgar. She's human. Or is that The Plan? Humans make mistakes and we can empathize. Like with Bill Clinton! But everybody knows you can't trust Satan.

I have a feeling I'm going to need a bigger "I Don't Get It" file.
