    Does there need to be spin? She did nothing illegal. How is this different from every single elected official over time? In fact there is zero evidence of them making money through the foundation and in fact the foundation has an A grade and 89% of the money raised goes to charity, much higher than the norm. That would be different than most elected officials as the money does not go to them. The media is duped into playing this up because they don't want to look "left leaning". Nothing to see here, just like there was nothing to see with Benghazi or Whitewater or Vince Foster or seizures or.....

    Republicans in government don't know what the fuck they're doing when it comes to money. That's the dirty open secret we're still coming to terms with in 2016. Supply side economics = shitshow, no matter what decade or century we're in.

    Called into question ?

    Understatement.

    He calls people names and goes off on rants.

    Point of fact: He's intemperate.

    John McCain some ones yelled at people.

    He had a temper.

    Have we seen any stories on Hillary's temper?

    WASHINGTON — John McCain made a quick stop at the Capitol one day last spring to sit in on Senate negotiations on the big immigration bill, and John Cornyn was not pleased.

    Cornyn, a mild-mannered Texas Republican, saw a loophole in the bill that he thought would allow felons to pursue a path to citizenship.

    McCain called Cornyn's claim "chicken-s---," according to people familiar with the meeting, and charged that the Texan was looking for an excuse to scuttle the bill. Cornyn grimly told McCain he had a lot of nerve to suddenly show up and inject himself into the sensitive negotiations.

    "F--- you," McCain told Cornyn, in front of about 40 witnesses.

    It was another instance of the Republican presidential candidate losing his temper, another instance where, as POW-MIA activist Carol Hrdlicka put it, "It's his way or no way."

    There's a lengthy list of similar outbursts through the years: McCain pushing a woman in a wheelchair, trying to get an Arizona Republican aide fired from three different jobs, berating a young GOP activist on the night of his own 1986 Senate election and many more.

    Right -- partially because he's a "hothead"!

    The media made sure to let us know this.

    So, why is this unexplored when it comes to Hillary Clinton. Is she a hothead?

    Certainly controls herself on Twitter and at the podium.

    More than we can say for Trump.

    Do we have anything that shows she is?

    What you linked isn't a story that says "Is John McCain a hothead? Let's explore!" It's a story that says "John McCain is a hothead" because that's what everyone has witnessed over the years.
