(19,458 posts)Because the Hillary-haters were so deranged in their hate for her. The Clinton's paid their own legal fees for the shit that the RW threw at them.
Hillary Clinton is a smart person, she is not trying to claim that she knows what it's like to live on food stamps. She was telling the truth... the office of President doesn't really pay much in comparison to a CEO, or even the Congress who seem to be able to find so many side ways to gain $$$.
The Hillary Clinton haters were just disgusting, as were the President Obama haters. I was not a fan of Obama's at first, because I supported Hillary. Then I grew the hell up once he was the nominee, and learned about the person that was denigrated here all the time.
After shoveling through the crap here on DU at that time, I came to recognize who the haters were, and what their real story was. And I see they persist. Good luck with that... Here's the thing, the uber left wing candidate some of you pine for, will never get elected you simply need so many mainstream Democratic voters AND republican crossovers to win. As for the others with irrational hate for the President and Hillary Clinton, eventually your paycheck will stop coming, and you won't need to hang around DU much longer.
