It changes based on who knows how many factors. Benghazi was showing for me when I typed the message, now it's not.

Google's autocomplete is likely based on recent searches, so it can suggest things based on very recent events. It will vary wildly.

ok that's fine. but if Google is so current with latest searches it's still pretty weird that "crim.." shows nothing but positive results. surely other terms are more popular now than "crime bill 1994".

Right now, as I type this, typing "hillary clinton crim" brings up "hillary clinton criminal video" in the autocomplete.

You have NO idea how their autocomplete works, so jumping to conclusions about Google filtering for positivity, specifically for a candidate, is entirely stupid.
