    So little upset here at Clintons for decisions like taking $18 million from for-profit college. Only upset at press for daring to point out.

        @AlecMacGillis Anything that helps Trump is worth being upset about. Anything. Even the truth!

        @barbarikon @AlecMacGillis this is the problem. It's people that think like this. I hope you never raise any kids you'd be a terrible parent

        @barbarikon @AlecMacGillis please do. If you think it's fair to cover up the truth you are not a good person

        @randyd223 @AlecMacGillis a) Truth is fine if the context is given; b) Not all truths are equally relevant ...

        @randyd223 @AlecMacGillis ... c) Some truths are better not shared, though that isn't applicable here....

        @randyd223 @AlecMacGillis Ultimately, fetishization of truth-telling can be just as harmful as obfuscation. Judgment matters far more.

        @barbarikon @AlecMacGillis you are defending someone by reccommending obfuscation to protect someone with terrible judgement.

        @AlecMacGillis @JonathanCohn Honestly, I'd be a lot more willing to vote for Clinton if she didn't have an army of downplaying her flaws.

        @AlecMacGillis @JonathanCohn I can't have faith in "lesser evilism" if the people who say that defend and obscure that evil.

        @smktty @AlecMacGillis @JonathanCohn Yes, don't mention the coup in Honduras or anything like that, if you do you're an evil Trump troll etc

      @AlecMacGillis Perhaps press could make list of suitable jobs for Clintons. No speeches, foundations or corp. boards - greeters at Walmart?

      @AlecMacGillis sorry. Asking you to assess Laureate based on Ed IPEDS data. Good reporter would do that, right?

      @AlecMacGillis I get it, but I'm gonna guess your answer for why is something like "partisanship". That's insufficient.

        @AlecMacGillis Did Clinton report this income on his taxes? If so, you can question "wisdom" all you want--but not much else. Optics, right?
