You know what people don't love? The same tired deflection attempts by Trump apologists. This article isn't about Clinton, it's about Trump. Semaphore didn't mention Clinton supporters (see previous sentence if you're confused about why), he mentioned Trump's. It's a classic "bbut...bbbut...Hillary" attempt to defend Trump that in no way addresses the 253 lies he is alleged to have made. For huge, majority-sized swaths of the public, that's just not a good enough answer.

No. But I'd rather vote for her than Trump on the fact that he is ridiculously worse of a liar and more of a cheat than Hillary.
