The only different standard Clinton is held to is a preferential standard.

I hear no discussion of the MILLIONS in speaking fees, MILLIONS in consulting fees, and MILLIONS paid to the Clinton Foundations shortly before or after business was before the state dept.

I hear no discussion of the .61 per hour for Haiti workers she fought against.

I hear no discussion about her disastrous foreign policy record. Again, and again and again it is stated how super qualified she is and this is repeated ad nauseum by the corporate media.

Clinton is held to a separate standard all right - a PREFERENTIAL STANDARD. All bow down before the queen and don't dare question her because she is a woman.

I hear about those things you bring up multiple times each day. What do you watch that you don't hear about them?

"Queen" Seriously?

there is not what I am talking about.

And yes - her condescending attitude seems rather "queenly" to me.

Saint Hillary of Walmart, our Blessed Lady of Inevitability, and the affluent fruit of her labours. Get thee down in thy knees, that her countenance may be upon us! The power of Debbie commands you!

6. No need to get personal. The point is obv. her pattern of crying foul, not playing by normal rules.

She doesn't address these things, she refuses by saying it's not fair to ask.

Not in this op it isn't. This op is simply inaccurate.

And that is pretty light on the personal aspect. Really light actually.

9. Her campaign reeks of desperation, she knows this is her last hurrah.

I hope she fails, spectacularly. Her goal is getting in the White House, the peoples needs don't matter. She will change her stance on any issue to what she thinks people want to hear and what will be safe enough to get her elected. She is no leader, she will maintain the status quo. Bernie is the one the people need.
