BREAKING: Univision Releases DEVASTATING Melania Trump ‘Green Card’ Bombshell (DETAILS)

[calimary]

60. Frankly, what mostly irks me is this whole "not honest," "not trustworthy" thing.

It's truly a case of Look-Who's-Calling-The-Kettle-Black.

The issue of not being honest or trustworthy is one that is being hung around Hillary's neck like a veritable noose. So okay, then. Fine. If they want to harangue on about that, all they do is set the playing field up at THAT level. If they want to make an issue of not honest or trustworthy, then Game On. By All Means. Nice big glass house you two live in. If you're gonna make an issue of it, then so be it.

Besides, I've observed her and her work and what drives her since the 1992 campaign, PLUS quite a bit of reading I've done since from people who worked with her when she was First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State. The admiration and trust is as thick as the length of the Grand Canyon is wide. Plus there are further testimonials about how, believe it or not, she stacks up as one of the most honest of the bunch (with Donald Trump a finger's length from last place). Both graphs I've seen including one in the NYTimes placed her a notch above Bernie Sanders on the honest/trustworthy scale. Another endorsement comes from a UK Guardian reporter who covered every scandal since Arkansas and imagines the Clintons are never exactly overjoyed to see her when she's on duty, and even she openly concedes that Hillary is outstandingly honest and truthful. The latest such assessment I've seen comes from the Bernie-favoring Mother Jones magazine, which you'd expect to be quick to find fault with everything about her.

For me, that's why I don't go too easy on Melania Trump. I'm very ready to poke fun of her, too, now that she's no longer a noncombatant. Her young son, though? Absolutely a noncombatant. He stays completely out of it. But the grown-ups are out there in public making pronouncements and issues of things and placing themselves on the record, so - fair game.

And, seems to me, sometimes the high-'n'-mighty (or the wannabe high-'n'-mighty) need it. I believe there's obligation that comes with wealth and status. Noblesse oblige. Much blessed, much obligated. I expect more from people at that level of society. Seems to me they owe more. That's what I've always liked about the Kennedy family. That's why I can appreciate the British royals. The recognition that you are public servants. NOT just the haughty narcissist who wins the biggest office and the right to stand behind that fancy seal, just so he can slap it on his golf resorts so he can charge more for everything there. And his wife as well.
