She may be wealthy now, but make no mistake: she knows what it's like to live speech-making paycheck to paycheck.

made enough....on the speaking circuit. As I said, with others in the media, she should have refrained as she knew she wanted to run.
To believe she'll fix ANYTHING, on Wall Street is just not worth discussing. It's stupid.
