(1,009 posts)we'd take down our own candidates with our own circular firing squad? It's the only thing he's been right about.
Big deal. I have no problem with any politician making money from speeches. As long as they're not making
their money in illegal ways, like from....Russia. Or sending their money to offshore accounts. Jeez, celebs make
millions on movies and tv series. Athletes also make millions during their career. We don't always think it's justified,
but it's an honest days work at least. Try to look at it that way, rather than comparing it to the average middle class salary.
And if he's making speeches at corporations we don't necessarily agree with, he is no doubt trying to flip the script and
make them see things in a different way. Why not get paid for it in the process?
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
