Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have one thing in common, they can both negotiate a deal.
In the case of The Donald, he is seeking deals that increase his brand: real estate, development rights, partnerships, investments and even media contracts. He gambles his own assets, his own reputation, his own leverage. And he wins or loses his own money.
In the case of Hillary Clinton, she increases the value of the Clinton Foundation (which employs Chelsea), rakes in speaking fees, negotiates deal to benefit herself or Bill or the Foundation using our assets, our government's leverage, and our country's reputation. Had she not been Bill's wife, Obama's Sec. of State, how much leverage would she wield? What would she have to hold up her side of a negotiation?
I think it is high time that our government representatives cease and desist from using the assets that belong to you and I to feather their own nest.
