    Putting a dollar value on the Presidency...

    Gabbard hits Clinton with $50 million defamation lawsuit over 'Russian asset' remarks...
    The result, the lawsuit says, is that Gabbard has lost potential donors and voters, with damages "estimated to exceed $50 million." In addition to those damages, Gabbard is seeking special and punitive damages "in view of Clinton's malicious and unrepentant conduct." She also seeks litigation costs and an injunction against further publication of the defamatory statements.
    To my untrained mind, this seems to suggest that Gabbard expected a monetary gain from her campaign and her expected Presidency...That she seemingly was compelled to quit the race and those financial gains is partially put by her on the narrow shoulders of Clinton, and she further assigns the value of Clinton's responsibility to be $50M...

    Interesting...I now wonder how much she'll bill me and all the other voters who never had any intention of voting for her in the first place......Ben

    Former Presidents seem to do rather well these days. The Obama's have made an industry of it.
    OPINION....a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

    I've always busted butt for a buck, as a millwright I've actually begged for a Sunday afternoon off. I bet were all proud of working hard for a living, but members of Congress????
