Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumRunning a hedge fund is the best thing ever, but Hillary's speeches are the epitome of evil
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141446908It's OK to Sanders fans that Alan Grayson was running a hedge fund while in Congress because he's a liberal and a Sanders supporter. He dumped his family for a lobbyist and left them broke and in a crappy house, but that's fine because he's a liberal and a Sanders supporter.
Meanwhile, Hillary giving speeches while she was a private citizen is instantly disqualifying, and Bill Clinton is a reprehensible asshole for having an affair, which Hillary is, of course, completely responsible for. They kept the family together, but only because they're the most ambitious politicians in the history of politics.
You just can't make this shit up. I sometimes feel like this is the Onion.

(10,014 posts)9. Grayson is brilliant and progressive - can't say that about Trump
The only thing they have in common is wealth, which Grayson earned and Trump inherited, and inappropriate language. It is ironic that Sanders supporters hate anyone with money, unless its one of their own.

(2,792 posts)10. I was referring to Grayson's character, which is adolescent.
But your point is well taken on the rest.

It was posted by the same people who rant incessantly about Hillary's speeches.
