She also got caught cheating during the debate by getting the questions ahead of time... America does not like cheaters of any stripe.
That makes me think of a story that Peggy Noonan told in her book “The Case Against Hillary Clinton”. When Hillary was running for the Senate seat in New York, she appeared on some late night talk show and during the show, she was asked a few trivia questions about New York state. She answered them all correctly, but Noonan pointed out, Hillary put on this act of trying to think out her answers and make guesses and it was revealed later, that she was given the answers in advance.
Under "cheating": Can we include her winning six coin tosses out of a possible six coin tosses?
She also had an earpiece in at least one of the debates.
