"How can people be failing for Trump?" Easy, by understanding Hillary. Of course he's a con artist, 2nd only to Hillary Clinton.  All Politicians are con artisists. They become elected officials conning you into thinking how wonderful they are. But Hillary takes the cake. She is worth multiple millions yet her only profession has been working for our government. Now that's a con. Except unlike Trump she isn't convincing you how great she is, you're all supposed to just accept that, it is after all her turn.
