As of now, the only people who think Hillary Clinton is honest and trustworthy are those who pay no attention at all to the news. There are more who will say that they think Hillary is honest, but those people are either on the Clinton payroll or they themselves are dishonest. Hillary's low numbers on honesty are a major problem for her campaign. In fact, one would think that the Clinton campaign would focus its efforts always on making Hillary and her campaign appear honest. That is why today's news from Trump Tower is so surprising.
There was a tiny demonstration today in front of Trump Tower, the apartment building in New York where Donald Trump lives. The protesters said that they were veterans who did not want to be used as props by Trump in his campaign. The point was that they did not like the Trump effort to raise funds for vets that he held during one of the GOP debates since, they claimed, Trump had not yet actually given the money that he pledged at that time.
It's unclear when Trump gave the money, but it is certain that he has made the contribution he promised. That, however, is not the key point. The most important thing about the protest is that it was organized by the Clinton campaign. That's right, the Hillaryites gathered the vets, helped them get signs and may have even paid them to picket in front of Trump Tower (that's not yet clear). And what did the Clinton campaign have to say about arranging that protest? Just as one would expect from liars, the Clinton campaign denied any involvement in arranging the protest. Then, within an hour, when the reporters heard from sources in the protest that the whole thing had been set up by the Clinton campaign, the Hillaryites changed their story. They went from "no involvement" to "yes, involvement". Hillary got caught in the lie and just flipped the story.
Events like this are pretty bad. The last time that presidential campaign secretly organized protests at the rallies of rivals was in 1972 when the campaign of GOP candidate Richard Nixon did it. Nixon won that election, but then he went down in the Watergate scandal. The efforts to undermine the campaigns of his opponents (just like what the Hillaryites did today) figured prominently in the Watergate hearings. Hillary worked on the staff of the senate Watergate committee before she was fired. It seems she learned all the wrong things. She should know better.
More important, however, Clinton has been caught in a lie yet again. The mess just reinforces the views of millions of people that Clinton is completely dishonest. It makes me wonder. Are the Clintons ever honest?
