Ball: Clinton ‘Has a Real Problem’ Convincing People She Is ‘Honest and Trustworthy’

KING: “Now look at this, in all of these states, is Hillary Clinton honest and trustworthy. That is why Joe Biden is seriously thinking there's an opening to get into this race. 64 percent in Florida say no, and 60 percent in Ohio say no, 63 percent in Pennsylvania say no. Democrats when you talk to them say this e-mail stuff is all overblown. However when you look at those polls, you have to connect those dots.” 

BALL: “Absolutely. I mean you saw the Clinton campaign this past week starting to engage more aggressively on the e-mail issue which they had tried to really blow off and say, this is no big deal, people will realize that. They'll realize this is just a political attack ginned up by Republicans. It's hard to say that when the Democratic president Department of Justice is on the case. But beyond the substance of that, the campaign really has not done a very good job of aggressively engaging on this issue reassuring Democrats that this is only a political thing. Hillary, you know, joking around about it, and trying to brush it off has not been very effective in calming the doubt and in convincing people that she is trustworthy, so she has a real problem there. I would point out just to sort of add, inject some reality into the Biden discussion. He is also someone who is not particularly popular with the American public. His unfavorables tend to be very high. People view him as a little bit gaffe-prone, a bit of a joke. He doesn't have the same trust problem I don't think but he's not someone who is universally beloved.”
