We can debate whether anti-Trump Republicans are guided wisely by a moral compass. But Democrats? A large majority of them lack any moral benchmarks at all when it comes to Hillary Clinton. In TV appearances, when asked about her scandalous behavior, Democratic talking heads tend to ignore the question or change the subject as quickly as possible.
Consider how Democrats have responded in polls. Did donations to the Clinton Foundation “influence” Clinton’s actions as secretary of state? Only 22 percent of Democrats said yes in a Rasmussen poll. Did her private email system create a “major problem”? Only a quarter of Democrats agree it did in a Morning Consult survey.
Has she been honest in talking about the State Department’s role in Benghazi? This time, roughly 30 percent of Democrats told Fox News pollsters she hadn’t been. Should Clinton have been prosecuted for jeopardizing the secrecy of national security information in her non-secure emails? Thirty-one percent of Democrats said she should have in a Washington Post/ABC News poll.
Was her handling of emails related to what she would do as president? Two-thirds of Democrats said no in a Post/ABC survey. More basically, is Clinton trustworthy? Some 66 percent of Democrats believe she is, according to a Rasmussen poll.
