If I was American, I'd vote for her easily. I might not agree with her on some things, and she isn't the smoothest politician, but she isn't as horrible as anyone makes her out to be. Trump on the other hand...

No one is making her out to be anyone she isn't and it's not like Sanders does not get scrutinized either, he just has a better history to fall back on... Have you missed the last week where the Investigator General of the state department found in her gross misconduct and deliberate evasion of government communication policies and law? This was found to be deliberate because she did not want her communications to be subject to Freedom of Information Act requests. She was issued four separate warnings and disobeyed all of them and dismissed an ambassador for trying to use a private email server when she was doing the exact same thing. Ignoring the almost criminal (the level of which is still being legally assessed), she blatantly lied to the public about this saying all of this was allowed prior to the report, report came out and she lied about lying about that by editing and changing her entire prior communication that was posted on her website.
She lied about not knowing she had been hacked, she lied about it being within her right to violate the law in that way, she lied about having received permission with the department to break the law, she lied about cooperating with the investigation when she was the only one of the last five secretary of states that did not cooperate, she lied about "not receiving any emails marked classified" when she knows that no state communications come marked "classified" just "secret", etc. This is just the most recent scandal, we are not even counting the mishandling of funds, Clinton foundation and all the obfuscation in while she was in senate or the whole donation for presidential pardon scandal/email scandal of 98.
Everything coming out of her mouth in the most recent Clinton scandal, and it is a scandal, is an outright lie. Unlike Trumps crazy rants and lies, Clinton's are carefully edited, prepared, typed and repeated for the world to hear. That's the difference here. Trump's lies are at worst a symptom of his grandiose stupidly idiotic and immature personality, but Clinton markets herself as mature does she not? Would that no make her lies premeditated? And would that make her lies not worse than Trumps? Taken in complete isolation, maybe not, but then again she has a long history doesn't she?
