Clinton is the only politician in America who comes close to being as unpopular as Trump. After an extremely negative campaign on both sides, even if she manages to win, she will take office with a 30% approval rating. Or Trump could beat her - it's not impossible. Democrats should never have rushed to coronate her a year ahead of any voting. Considering how much Sanders has been able to put her under pressure, it's clear that a more entrenched opponent with a compelling message could have beaten her and offered the Dems a much better chance at both winning and effectively governing afterwards.

Dishonesty, as it were, is a trait most closely associated with Clinton. Despite your complaints about the media, this is a widely held opinion by the public, and not without reason. Elizabeth Warren or Joe Biden, had they not been scared out of running by the DNC, would not have the same problem.

Oh I won't stop with the media. Look at how they cover Trump's every single word/movement but Bernie gives a great speech, a powerful one, and it gets nothing.

The media, like the GOP voters, is only attracted to candidates who shock, rage and incite--they reflect the populace that consumes and vice-versa.

Bernie acts like an adult, talks about serious things and not one person questions his honesty but they treat him like he's the Dem Ron Paul. Or backhand him as merely a "socialist" who's tilting windmills. The reason they love Hillary (well, love to air her) is she's their dream matchup for the WWE contest which we used to call an election. Because of her negatives (as you've noted) and the fact that she is rabidly hated by FOX Nation (like Obama, like her husband, like...)... let's get it on!

They're simply sports commentators at this point, hyping the Main Event which will allow them to stage an endless parade of splitscreen shills for both sides who will fight on-air for the rest of the year until either Trump wins and the country goes into a ditch or Hillary does but provides the walking dead with another four years to rage and obstruct which they will always do now when it's not a Party member in the White House.

And to your point, yeah, she's viewed as dishonest but Trump? A serial liar--almost daily. How is it that he's "Telling it like it is" and Hillary is a liar? Where do you think that comes from? (Besides my point that his crowd doesn't care if it's lies).

First off the media hates Trump but they can't stop covering cause it's too important for ratings.

Second, Trump is running a campaign based on populist anger and fear. Not a crowd that cares about facts very much, just gut feelings. Clinton is the establishment insider who is trying to pull the plug on a left-wing populist in the primary before she has to deal with a nativist populist in the general. She's not in a position to get away with bullshitting. And considering she was going around calling herself a moderate last year but now wants everyone to think she's a progressive and will probably try to go back to moderate for the general, she plays into all the populist anger that Trump stands to benefit from.
