bunker-tested sycophants.

She doesn't break it down by gender. It was the 'sycophant' part she was interested in.

6. Does that explain why she kept lying for MONTHS?

Who is advising her? Does she listen?

Does she truly not realize how this is going to come back to haunt her should she be lucky enough to get the nod?

a lot of questions, and so the rap on Mrs. Clinton is that she is not good at all at self-criticism.

Not such a good trait in a public servant.

And given the recent disclosure of deceit regarding the private server, it's not so hot for political candidates either.

She stated that what she did "was allowed." It was not.

3. So Sanders pays his women employees more money than the men. Why doesn't Hillary?

Or at least equal pay for equal work.

That's according to your survey which is over two months old!

Do you have anything more current and relevant?

8. That's all they make? Not even $8 an hour. Got to really 'love your work' to have a job like that.

Same goes for the Presidents position.

11. 79,000 per year, even if you worked 100 hours per week, 52 weeks a year is a lot more than $8.00/hr.

for the primary 'season' then job over and collect your unemployment, until you can get another 'job' working for someone trying to get elected.

Personally, I'd hate that 'job', but apparently people who run for President at least on the D side..really want to be President and there are people out there willing to be hired to 'help'.

13. Well, by that criteria Marco Rubio’s campaign scores higher.

Marco Rubio’s campaign wins points for the campaign that pays women the best. Women on Rubio’s staff make, on average, just over $5,000 more than men, and of the 10 highest-paid staffers, six are female.


So does that mean Rubio is better than Clinton at supporting women?

And Sanders pays women on average a little under $1,000 more than men.
