    She did not oppose her ability to trade in the stock market despite enacting laws that helped enrich her estate.

    I am a very liberal person. She did a lot of good, but I absolutely would not want to see her keep her position.

    That and I’d rather see someone ~36 years old fill the seat than someone whose had it for 36 years.

      There are zero politicians who don’t own stock. I really don’t understand why she’s held to some special standard on this specific issue

        Having your husband trade stock specifically to exploit ethics rules grey-areas: Problem.

        Hopefully now you understand why it’s a problem, and should note that she’s not alone on this, just a poster-senior for it.
