I'm with you there. Democrats have the monopoly on honest politicians and I'm not being facetious. There's still far too few. I used to be behind Clinton too, but just too much dishonesty. Not the conspiratorial kind, just plain old lying. Like drop the "there was no classified information on those emails" when the FBI has already testified under oath that there was.
Why can't she just give the likely answer "I made a serious error. I didn't realize there was classified information in those emails. I certainly will not make that mistake again"?
On a logarithmic scale Trump is orders of magnitude worse, but it still shouldn't just be acceptable. You have a candidate who's done amazing things for veterans, kids, mothers and countless charitable endeavours. Just be human ffs and admit mistakes. Maybe it's her handlers, maybe her, I don't know. But it's tiresome
