Why people distrust Hillary Clinton

7. The ethical lapses in Iowa

While adding people to the OMalley caucus to prevent them from joining Bernie's groups and the high handed manner in which her supporters in Iowa concluded that primary might have influenced voters, I also think that the speaking fees collected by an already-millionaire from organizations not only like Goldman-Sachs and Exxon but also collected from Boys and Girls Club of America (one would think that she would be more charitable in that instance....--gives some insight in her character and what it means to have a lot of money to offer her in relation of her time and attention. I don't hate Hillary, nor think she is evil or a horrible person. But I think the political machine that she and Bill have built and the way in which she is open to criticism (not) -- even the statement of actual problems by others is such that she presents an intimidating persona and a tendency to deny them and dig in. As I heard on the radio-- as with many politicians...the angel of self awareness flew over her home without a visit. Criticism is always perceived to be an attack with the Clinton campaign-- and (at least lately) it is answered with a hammer. Now flipping to the Bill Clinton strategy of appropriation, she seems to be trying to out-Bernie Bernie and it is not believable.
