Hillary still not able to connect with voters who value honesty and trust

OK Fine people don't trust Hillary Clinton. But why doesn't Hillary DO ANYTHING to address this issue in a major way?

Otherwise she could sink the whole party if she gets the nomination. It's really becoming something of a joke and the Democratic party could go down in flames. But actually this is no laughing matter.

Clinton loses to the Republicans in the general election. Sanders wins. Kasich and Rubio beat her by wide margins. Democrats please, either Hillary needs to address the issue of why people don't trust her, or we've got major trouble ahead.

If she's honest she'll immediately lose.

Her only chance is to keep up the lying and hope enough people don't cop on before November.

It won't work, and she'll get a Republican elected... But to do otherwise would go against everything she believes in.

Or she could give a major speech about it. Get it all out in the open.

She can't.

She's lied about too much higher for too long. Any speech would just be more lies. If she came completely clean she'd completely torpedo her own canidancy.

Literally.

If you want her to win the only hope you have is Democrats to be ignorant and apathetic when it comes to her dishonesty.

Some people lie so much that they begin to believe themselves. Obviously only the people closest to her know for sure but it's an interesting thought.

I've had a significant number of discussions with Clinton supporters that think she's dishonest but don't care..

I've even had one very vocal Clinton supporter on DU tell me that the entire reason she was voting for Hillary - accepting she's corrupt and dishonest - was because of the number of AA staffers she's hired. Thats it. Nothing else.

Around 50% or more view each candidate as untrustworthy. If you don't have any choice, then you go with what you think is best in a corrupt system. That seems to be the case with a lot of voters.
