How much of Hillary's "Trust issues" have more to do with her "friends" than her

Last edited Sun Jul 24, 2016, 04:34 PM - Edit history (1)

All too often Hillary has been cought up in issues brought on not by Hillary but her friends or advisers? Starting with Bill's problems with (how should I say this?) "keeping his pants on", the "adviser" who suggestedthat she should use a home email server and now DWS who has appeared to have been trying to put a finger on the scale. I am glad to see that today Hillary is keeping her distance from the DNC issues. I feel from what I have read on this site about Her new VP he is a stand up guy who will be able to give her advice which will not come back to bit her. Hillary has not been perfect none of us are, I do feel that much of the so call "like ability" problems around Hillary are a result of people around her who while well intended have more than once made things worse in trying to help her.

2. Her "likability" issues have more to do with the decades long scorched Earth campaign Republicans

I don't think Hillary would agree to this meme as blaming others always makes a person look weak.

4. I guess she should live in isolation. OR maybe the trust issue is a repeated meme intent on riding

that train to discredit credit Hillary at all cost 24/7 by every online swarm & TV spokesmodel that wants to be relevant for a short time in their little life.
That's what its really all about.
But you have to stop listening to the repeated chatter and look at the actual person & her contributions as a human being to put that trust issue to rest.

Hillary Clinton is respected and admired throughout the world. Except right here in the USA by those who have their own agenda.
Same people who started this crap 25 yrs ago are still doing it and their hit pieces just keep on coming. Not because there's truth to their chatter but unfortunately, many people don't bother to learn anything more than the rapid pace media repeats on TV and online.

Its not her circle of friends that has betrayed her, its those who buy the lie rather than question its source & purpose

Thank you

It's almost as though it's burned into the collective consciousness of this country after hearing allegation upon allegation for over 25 years. She will never NOT be a target. I admire her perseverance in keeping on despite the constant attacks. Trump would be cowering in a corner somewhere sucking his tiny thumb.

in terms of taking a quarter century of endless attacks and coming back to keep fighting to get where she wants to go.

9. True the Right has been bashing her for ever with BS

But it has not helped that she has also had to put up with people around her including Bill who have at times done stupid sh*t that blows back on Her. Hopefully DWS will stay out of the lime light this week she has done enough.

The Clintons have always put third-wayers, neocons, and neoliberals around themselves.
