(62,325 posts)who want her in the WH. I met some of them through my job, met her also. I can say this from what I observed, they are not people who are particularly supportive of paying the working class adequate wages for the work they do.
I supported her at that time, but didn't know much about how it all works, I was one of those who just supported Dems, pretty blindly. The people I worked for are close friends of the Clintons and helped Clinton get elected both times. Hillary is a favorite of theirs. While I enjoyed the job, and didn't really need the money as it was a part time job and I had another job. I will just say this, while the spent thousands on a dinner party, their reputation for underpaying the workers made it difficult for them to hire people and, to keep them.
While they talked a good talk about issues like equal pay and fair wages when speaking publicly, in RL it was far from being put into practice.
Talk is cheap. I don't pay much attention anymore to what politicians say, I look at how they vote, what they fight passionately for, not just talk about during campaign season. And Hillary's voting record speaks for her, especially when she had a chance to case what has turned out to be an historic opportunity to try to stop the disaster that we are and will be dealing with for at least decades. A good leader would have known better. Even an apology later doesn't cut it. Leaders need to be on top of these things, not trying to close the gate after the horse has fled.
