On campus, on the campaign trail.
Hillary Clinton in recent months has done the following:
She charged UCLA somewhere around $300,000 for reciting some platitudes. That works out to over $165 a second for her 30 minutes on stage — meaning that she made more in one minute than a student barista does in a year.
Ms. Clinton acknowledges that, while secretary of state, she solicited donations from wealthy foreign nationals for her family foundation, whose funds she and her husband have frequently tapped for exclusive travel and other expenses.
Everything Ms. Clinton has said recently seems to be demonstrably untrue: Only one of her grandparents, not all four, was an immigrant.

It is not Mrs. Clinton I worry about.
It is this nation that let the lawless Obama and Co, Clinton included, had gotten away with.
Next time the Left has another manufactured faux “outrage”, everybody should turn it right back to their collective face.
>>> How can such sophisticated moralists be prone to such unsophisticated sins as (cheating)? <<<<
Because. They are THE sophisticated moralists and thus superior to just you and me. The mundane rules and laws really shouldn’t apply to them. Period.
Once they are out in the real world, and rules and laws do apply, see how they cope with the real reality.
In my limited experience, usually it is the young more impressionable female that’s more fervent than pajama-boy elites.
