    I don’t really understand….yes there’s the e-mails, and her connection to Wall Street, but so what?

    I think they have a far more moral and trustworthy candidate in mind.

    Same reason 52% of the UK voted for Brexit….

    Mass stupidity.

    She’s married to bill who once lied about doing his secretary and apparently she doesn’t smile enough..
    There maybe some other reasons I haven’t covered

    Probably because she’s very much part of the political establishment, which a lot of people have little faith in.

    Have a read of item 3 of this article posted in the Trump thread.

    Because telling lies comes from genetics and she had sex regularly with Bill, once upon a time. 😉

    There have been quite a few convenient deaths of people involved in scandals that could have otherwise touched the Clintons.

    Can’t remember the details now, but it’s probably googleable.

    Benghazi, where the American ambassador was killed, it is still unclear who knew what he was doing, how he died who killed him and why, FOX News keep hammering the point.

    Hillary was Sec of State when that happened, the e.mail thing

    She is a woman

    She is untrustowrthy, her saving grace is she is less untrustworthy than Trump

    I was in New York in May. The feeling, even among the left leaning, was that she’s not a squeaky clean as they would have everyone believe. A couple of different people mentioned her way of handling Bill’s affair(s) and other antics wasn’t the nicest.

    New York is a little bit bias as the home town of Trump. The view from many seemed to be she’s far from perfect but at least she’s not Trump.

    Why do so many people in the US believe Hillary is untrustworthy?

    The Clinton foundation has been heavily funded by the Saudi Royal family. She makes millions a year giving paid speeches for bankers and financial institutions and she lied about the email issue.

    So the email stuff is not enough?

    That’s like saying apart from killing people, why does everyone think *insert murderer here* was so bad?

    But the emails, the corporate ties, several situations where she has allegedly mislead investigators, etc etc.

    Also, she never picked Elizabeth Warren for VP, went for a guy who could speak Spanish to get the Latino vote.

    Everyone is like wooo! we got a woman nominated….so what? Doesn’t matter if they’re not fit for office.

    Southpark summed it up best….[video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0BuPgrBwHU[/video]

    I have wondered this myself.

    Some people even claiming that she is just like this fella:

    and some people like this fella too:

    The mind boggles….

    “There’s nowt as queer as folk” as my grandma used to say.

    US Elections are often between some fairly uninspiring candidates, but what sort of person puts themself up for it?

    Barack Obama was unusual in that he appeared to be a high quality candidate for US President. It seems a shame that he was unable to enact more of his ideas. I hope he goes on to future positive influence.

    Agreed. Top level govt business carried out via secret private e-mail server. In what way is she not untrustworthy.

    Because she probably isn’t very trustworthy, and because many of them are a bit nuts.

    When was the last time you had real trust in a UK party leader (JC excepted)?

    unless you were his wife

    Tarnished by being part of the establishment and her own actions, inactions and cover ups

    That said how anyone can think Trump is the saviour to big business cronyism is completely lost on me.

    Bacause of her track record. Let me dig out a video – here you go. There is so much of this stuff. Clinton really is a just say what people want to hear politician. Her use of personal email for secret government business and lying about that is going to come up again and again. She has already been castigated by a Senate Committee and the ex head of the FBI

    If I where voting in the US it would be Democrat but that would be in spite of Hilary not because of her

    Mainly, having been in the public eye for a long time and through association with Bill she’s had a relentless heap of crap thrown at her by the media for decades. Of course she’s almost certainly done some naughty things too. Few people in that sort of position haven’t.

    I see this sort of thing in real life (I’m involved in climate science) with colleagues who are not perfect, but who are nowhere near as bad as they are portrayed by some sections of the media/blogosphere.

    Dunno, but from what i’ve seen of her there’s something about her that just seems wrong. Somehow get the feeling it would be like voting for the Devil 👿

    Have the feeling we are headed for an extremely screwed up next 5 years with Trump on one side of the atlantic and rise of the far right on the other.

    What politician is not? IMHO Trump is the master there as no one really knows what he stand for except the greater power and wealth of the donald, by any means necessary

    I doubt he even knows what he thinks on major issues

    That said its pretty hard to like or feel enthused about her in general and she is correctly tarnished for the actions you mention.

    Most are, but then some do have a moral substance behind the pandering. Clinton seems to just assume the job was always going to be hers, and all she has to do is smile at everyone and say yes.

    The thing is, as Obama showed, you can be a bushy tailed idealist ready to change the world, but your dreams gonna get crushed by the senate Republicans at every turn. When people are voting bills down just because they are from the other side, the situation is dire.

    She’s a politician, of course she lies.

    I’m not surprised Jamba would vote Democrat.

    We’re not aligned with the US politically, their centre left party, the Democrats, even Obama, is if anything more right of centre than our centre right Tory party.

    The closest they came to a Centre Left President quit and endorsed Clinton a few weeks ago, most US voters thought his talk of state funded healthcare and such was crazy talk.

    I work for an American bank. I don’t talk to anybody about politics – I’m too afraid to find out somebody I respect professionally actually supports Trump.

    she has definitely not worked hard,served her apprenticeship, gained experience and fought her way to the very top. its just entitlement #everydaysexism

    I am not her greatest fan but some of the abuse is OTT

    TO be clea i dont think you are a sexist but i think she does get more grief due to her gender

    An appeal to your own authority sure beats posting up a link to prove your claim

    Slow hand clap

    Verifiable EVIDENCE please
    I have no idea if true or false so prove it or it another one where you will claim you have answered it again and to “do our own research”
