Hillary Clinton dismisses question on honesty; issue remains

At a recent rally in Iowa, a young man asked Hillary Clinton about her perceived lack of honesty and trustworthiness. Her answer was so smooth and well-rehearsed that I wonder if the questioner was a "plant," so she could "dismiss" the issue summarily.

Her answer amounted to telling young voters that these accusations were simply the ugly side of politics that she and all other candidates have to endure.

While I hate the socialist Democratic agenda of Bernie Sanders, no one is calling him a liar, flip-flopper or unethical. Nobody is accusing him (or any Republican candidate) of the long list of unethical, illegal or unsavory behaviors associated with the Clintons.

Richard Nixon, despite his claims, was indeed a "crook," but he was an altar-boy compared to Bill and Hillary!
