Everybody knows about Hillary
Everybody knows Hillaryâs a liar. Â Everybody knows Hillaryâs corrupt. Â Everybody knows Hillaryâs a criminal. Â Everybody hates Hillary, and no one enthusiastically supports her; her voters are just afraid of Trump.
Iâve heard these things stated over and over throughout the primaries, without any sources to back them up. Â Who needs sources? Â We all know Hillary Clintonâs the worst, donât we? Â She wouldnât have decades of scandals and all these hearings and investigations if she werenât. Â Where thereâs smoke, thereâs fire.
Well, except the smoke about Whitewater, because that seven year investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing by the Clintons.
And it turns out that six official investigations into Vince Fosterâs suicide found nothing to suggest the Clintons had a hand in his death. Â In fact, thereâs no evidence pinning them to any of the dozens of deaths theyâre said to have caused.
Thereâs always Benghazi, though. Â Sure, the eighth investigation ended the way the first seven did, with no evidence of wrongdoing, but maybe another investigation will find the truth!
Okay, but what about her email server and the way she compromised national security and tried to cover it up? Â FBI director James Comey even overstepped his authority when speaking about the investigationâs findings in order to publicly condemn her! Â Except he also said that âno reasonable prosecutor would bring such a caseâ, and later clarified before a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing that there was no evidence Clintonâs server had been hacked, that Clinton did not lie, and that she did not break the law.
Well, she still voted for the Iraq War when she was senator!  Which she freely admits was a mistake.  She and other senators believed that the Congressional Resolution they were voting for would authorize the president to use force only after âdiplomatic or other peaceful meansâ had been exhausted.  She even said during the Senate debate on the resolution that attacking then and there could âset a precedent that could come back to haunt us.âÂ
Still, she wonât release the transcripts of those speeches she was paid for! Â How dare she not give up her intellectual property created while she was a private citizen, never mind that one of the speeches is already freely available for viewing online. Â Why canât she be like Trump and Sanders and just refuse to release her tax returns instead?
But sheâs a liar!  Thereâs a video of her lying for thirteen straight minutes!  True, itâs manipulatively edited and mostly just showing how her views, like anyone elseâs, have evolved over time, and Politifact ranks her as the most honest candidate, and the former executive editor of The New York Times called her âfundamentally honest and trustworthy,â but well, everybody knows sheâs a liar!
All right, so sheâs never been convicted of any crime, and all the investigations into her alleged scandals keep coming up with nothing, and she won the Democratic primaries after consistently polling ahead of Sanders, but thatâs only proof of her corruption. Â Sheâs rigged the system so that she can get away with anything! Â She just somehow hasnât rigged it well enough to keep all this stuff out of the press.
Because thatâs definitely more rational than concluding that, just maybe, sheâs an imperfect but well-qualified candidate with a bad reputation formed by decades of smears and conspiracy theories.
