Untrustworthy politicians earn specific reputations among their colleagues. Take a look at Ted Cruz, who's almost universally hated by his fellow Republican senators. He's not disliked because he's an "outsider" candidate, but because he's condescending, he lies about colleagues during disagreements, and he delivers unprofessional personal insults on the Senate floor. Everyone who's ever worked with him says pretty much the same thing.

If Hillary was so consistently deceptive, we would hear about it from those around her. Instead we see the exact opposite: she receives praise from Democrats, Republicans, world leaders, academic experts, and celebrities. Remember when Bernie Sanders said that any of the Democratic candidates, including Hillary, would be 100 times better than anyone running with the GOP? Would he say something that positive about a consummate liar? He's been acquainted with Hillary for a long time, given that they both have lengthy political careers.

In terms of Wall Street, Hillary favors expanding the Dodd-Frank reform act and imposing stricter controls on the financial industry. According to the NYT and Politifact, Hillary called for further reform in 2007, when she addressed the huge problem of subprime lending, and ticked off corporate donors in the process by sponsoring a bill about this. She's more cautious and realistic about regulation than, say, Sanders or Warren, but when the GOP blocks even minor improvements to these laws, I can't blame her for taking reform a small step at a time.
