Hillary and Bill earned every penny they have.

87. By the time Bill Clinton left the WH there was only one reason I could still tolerate him

And that was because Republicans hated his fucking guts!

In the intervening 13+ years he's endeared himself to the Bush family, made a ton of money by making speeches to Wall Street and corporate clients, and attempted to trash his own party's 2008 presidential candidate with vaguely racist insinuations. So the country club wing of the republican party has now accepted him as one of they own, which I suspect was his intent from the start. So there's no reason left for me to have any positive opinion of him.

But he can still bullshit with the best of them. Hillary lacks this ability. It's so easy to tell when she's lying she'll be a sitting duck for her opponents. And she has a tendency to be less than faithful to the truth every time she gets into a tight spot.

It's immaterial to me how they "earned" their money. What's important is that she somehow senses that they are perceived as rich fat cats and this won't play well with middle class and low income American voters. I don't think she'll be able to talk herself out of that perception.
