Now we’ll find out more about how politically inept she really is

Her response, covered up by the press, will be ridiculous

She won’t, because, you know, she’s barely scraping by.

Didn’t she just say she was flat broke and in debt? She needs the cash.

Screw ‘em. They’re stupid enough to attend and support a college that is stupid enough to pay the Hildebeest that amount of money. So let them wallow in their own bed.

Those students would snatch crumbs from the mouths of a couple of nearly destitute public servants who only wanted to do good.

if you must have her. Pay her coach fare, dinner at the student union. It’s just a campaign trip, why pay her?

These heartless kids would deny a dead broke senior citizen enough money to live. Hillary is going to have to go back to eating cat food and sleeping without heat.

She thinks she deserves it.

She thinks that people like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are just money-grubbers that "don't do anything for humanity."

Whereas she, on the other hand, has been "doing public service" all her life.

The real question is whether commie Dina Titus invited Hillary as part of her Congressional campaign.

Latest number I could find had 28,000 students enrolled at UNLV. Her "speaking fee" bribe costs each of those students over $8. Ridiculous. What can she possibly offer the school for that fee? Other than, of course, bribery pay back if she gets elected.

Libs are the biggest criminals around, yet they claim the moral high ground. A pox on them all.

These public universities who pay these fees, should sell tickets instead and give the speaker a cut.
