Letter: Trust is issue with Clinton

The Feb. 14 column “Here’s why women should back Hillary,” featured Susan Estrich extolling young women to vote for Hillary Clinton because:

1. Clinton is experienced.

2. Clinton is a woman.

3. What sexists assert about women is being asserted about them, too.

Estrich makes no attempt to specifically list Clinton’s accomplishments.

Estrich, in 50 words or less, should answer questions of Clinton:

1. What is your single greatest accomplishment as a U.S. senator?

2. What is your single greatest accomplishment as secretary of state?

3. How are you going to pillory the Wall Street institutions when you willingly accept their lucre disguised as speaking fees?

4. How can you be trusted when truth about your private server and contents is ducked and dodged by you?

5. How can you be trusted as the champion of women when you ignore and protect your philandering spouse’s behavior, even to the extent of discrediting and destroying your spouse’s accusers?

6. How can you claim to be the savior of the middle class (which includes women) when you lied about your wealth, asserting that you were “dead broke”?

Clinton’s recent response “that’s what they offered” regarding speaking fees paid by Goldman-Sachs should be offensive to all women, the implication being now we know who we are dealing with and the price is negotiable.
