Trust Clinton? Not likely at all

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks at a recent rally.

Wow! What a headline, “Convention aims to make Trump “likeable.”

In the interest of media fairness, will next week’s headline read, “Democrat convention aims to make Hillary more believable?”

“We had to run for cover under sniper fire at the airport.”

As a Marine vet, I can assure you that anyone who has been “under fire” never mis-remembers that incident.

But Hillary more truthful? Now that will be a monumental task. Even I would not like to climb that “mountain.”
