60% of Americans do not trust Hillary Clinton. Those are repeated poll results. I'm not making that up.
The Republicans are already hammering away at "untrustworthy" with Hillary. They hammered away at Obama being a Muslim Kenyan and got 20% of the electorate to believe that. 60% are believing the untrustworthy label because Hillary has been caught lying a lot - there's some truth to the allegation so it sticks more.
I can't recall a presidential candidate in my lifetime getting elected president while 60% of the country finds them untrustworthy. It's a really bad polling number.
It's helping Bernie right now who is a significant contrast to that behavior.
It's a key reason why she is a turnoff as a candidate for me because I can't believe in what she's telling me - she's burned me too many times.
It's a problem Hillary cannot shake and here she is, sending her daughter out to carry on the family tradition of lying to the American people. Not a good moment for Hillary. That's self destruction/implosion.
