just a hypothetical question: if Hillary does not become the Democratic nominee for President...

[islandmkl]

what does that do to her speaking fee rate?...

will it be dictated/negotiated by her agent...or will it continue to be 'what they offered...'...?

I just wonder if there is any increase/decrease in speech value/fee if one is a potential President or if one is a retired politician...

1. My town's Lions Club has about six members

I bet they could scrape together $3 to hear her.

2. She won't get a dime from them if she's not their potential president.

3. Here:

She's likely to continue to get big fees because her fee is not unusual for someone of her stature.

This "corruption" meme is based on nothing but hot air.

6. You beat me to it. She would continue to get those fees. nt

8. Not that they are interested in the facts, but, why not...

9. Stature = Influence

And buying influence is corruption. It doesn't matter if she's president or not, she still has the ear of many powerful people and can be useful to anyone willing to pay.

[Buzz Clik]

11. Stature is stature. You have invented the entire corruption conspiracy because it suits you.

Have the last word.

[bobbobbins01]

13. I invented it?

Wow, you're giving me a lot of credit. This idea of people of stature taking money and using their influence to help the people footing the bill never existed until Hillary came along and it became convenient to smear her with it. Its all a conspiracy against her! And I came up with the whole thing!!! Mwa ha ha ha, take that Hillary!

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

18. Pretty cool...

Can I have your autograph

[NCTraveler]

10. Now why would you go and do something like that. Lol nt

[tularetom]

4. Conversely, if she is elected president, what will that do to her rate?

And what will the voters think about their president raking in millions every year giving speeches while she is supposed to be presidentin'?

She'd better pledge right now to knock that shit off if the voters are dumb enough to elect her. Or turn the money over to the US treasury.

[stevenleser]

7. Silly. She would stop doing that as all Presidents stop doing whatever other moneymaking things they

were doing before becoming President.

Everything you just said was ridiculous.

[rhett o rick]

14. Her main focus is amassing money and power. I bet if she wins, heaven forbid, she will

leave office waaaay richer. The Clintons are the new American Aristocracy.

[NCjack]

20. Two new book deals. Hillary's title: "My Road to Becoming Pres. Sanders'

U.S. Representative to the United Nations". Bill's title: "We woulda won -- if Hillary had unleashed me. (V.P. Al Gore made that same Mistake.)" More book tours, more spinning, more speaking fees, etc.

[Doctor_J]

16. It will go into a blind trust like Cheney's death profits

Nothing to worry about!!!

[demwing]

5. The Rules of Corruption

Are like the Pirate's Code. Created and enforced by the corrupt, with the intention of benefitting the corrupt

12. What a long way we have traveled from real integrity in politics.

BOSTON — When Harry Truman left the White House in 1953, historian David McCullough records, "he had no income or support of any kind from the federal government other than his Army pension of $112.56 a month. He was provided with no government funds for secretarial help or office space, not a penny of expense money."

One of the reasons Truman and his wife moved back into their far-from-elegant old house in Independence, Missouri, "was that financially they had little other choice."

Nevertheless, Truman refused to cash in on his celebrity and influence as a former president. He turned down lucrative offers, such as the one from a Florida real-estate developer inviting him to become "chairman, officer, or stockholder, at a figure of not less than $100,000." He would not make commercial endorsements, accept "consulting" fees, or engage in lobbying.

"I could never lend myself to any transaction, however respectable," Truman later wrote, "that would commercialize on the prestige and dignity of the office of the presidency." He did sell the rights to his memoirs for a handsome sum to Life magazine. But he turned down every other enticement to trade on his former position for private gain.

15. I don't really care. She'll never go hungry. n/t

17. What is she becomes POTUS

Will she still require $250,000 per speech to the nation. Not sure we could afford that, the yearly state of the union would about eat up the $400k budget for presidential salary
