In reply to the discussion: A college balks at Hillary Clinton’s fee, so books Chelsea for $65,000 instead [View all]Beacool

Therefore, I take anything posted here against them with a grain of salt.

yes, speakers make big fees. I was surprised even people like romney got paid 6 figures, years ago.
