      With Hillary, just the opposite. She’s way less susceptible to bad ideas - way less trustworthy as a human being.

      You tell me Donald Trump is a threat to the republic, and we all have to sacrifice our inclinations to stop him. OK, fine.

      Why can’t Hillary Clinton make a sacrifice too, of her inclination to prefer the furtive and false to the honorable way?

      … when she needs trust, it won’t be there for her. And (unlike Obama who deserved better than he got), it won’t be there by her own fault.

      And again unlike Obama, Hillary will be enabled by people who tell her that *she’s* the victim - and therefore entitled to break any rule.

      Honest Q: If Obama got the rancour and rampant projection of illegitimacy despite his character, why would HRC get any different?

      To reframe question: Obama's honourableness got him zero political respect from GOP so what incentive does HRC have

          From GOP focus groups conducted by Democracy Corps, unifying idea for GOP voters = loathing of Obama.

          Absolutely. The GOP erected their wall 8 yrs. ago. There will be NO bipartisanship or governing if they can possibly help it.
