madness (for lack of a better term). Perhaps unbalanced is a better term. They both seem blind to how cashing in is so questionable, unseemly and potentially fatal to her and Bill's ambition for Hill to be pres.

Truman lived in an ordinary house in Missouri after his presidency, and wouldn't take any money from corporate interests because he knew they didn't want him, but were trying to buy the power of the presidency. Truman wouldn't sell it. The Clintons were happy to be bought.

This is why my Dad, a lifelong moderate Republican, won't vote for Clinton. If it's Trump vs. Clinton, he'll vote for a 3rd party.
