If Hillarious took questions from just anybody, she might have picked a
person such as myself and she couldn't afford that.
"Mrs Clinton. So far, we learned that you were unaware of your husbands
cheating while the rest of the country knew. You are unaware of what
your millions of dollars were invested in, and you were also unaware of
where your campaign contributions came from. Do you expect us to
believe you are capable of running our country?"
So you see, Hillarious has to have people planted.
