What were Clintons selling, indeed?

Donald Trump's son Eric may have asked the best question of the 2016 presidential campaign to date.

"What were they selling to make $150 million?"

I think many of us know the answer to the question of what they were selling while Bill Clinton was supposedly running a "charity" and Hillary Clinton was secretary of state.

They were selling influence.

They were, in effect, unregistered lobbyists.

Let's face it, neither one of them has done an honest day's work in their lives. They're high-rent grifters.

And that's what makes Eric Trump's simple questions so compelling during this campaign.

"The question I always ask is, what product were they selling?" he's been saying in interviews lately. "If we make a buck, we sold a bottle of wine or an apartment, or we sold a hotel room. What product were they selling to make $150 million?"

On one of those interview shows, Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt suggested: "Favors? The government?"

"Of course," responded Mr. Trump, who works on the campaign for his billionaire businessman father. "This is the leadership we have in this country. Somebody sets up a foundation. They pocket hundreds of millions of dollars. They say they come out of the White House 'dead broke.' Now they are worth $150 million."

He continued: "It's just so so sad. People in this country work so hard, and sometimes they are not able to achieve because of the policies that these politicians put in place – and look what they do."

The Clinton Foundation is such a twisted, sick joke, even some of Hillary Clintons' biggest supporters have called on her to shut it down – to avoid further embarrassment. To which Hillary says only that, if she becomes president, the foundation will stop taking corporate and foreign donations.

Wouldn't that have been a good idea when she became secretary of state and president-in-waiting? After all, she spent a lot of her time on the job shaking down foreign donors, banksters and corporate honchos and providing them instant access for cash.

Conflict of interest?

If a Republican had done it, he or she would already be behind bars. You know it, and I know it.

By the way, both Hillary and Bill also solicited and accepted exorbitant speaking fees while she did her "public service" in the State Department. For some reason, those speaking fees shot through the roof after she took that position. Can you imagine why?

Bill's fees spiked to over a half-million dollars a pop – including talks for a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin for $500,000 and $550,000 for a Chinese business group.

As for Hillary, after she left the State Department in 2013 and began her unofficial campaign for the presidency, she began collecting $200,000 speaking fees, mostly from trade groups and Wall Street banks, according to an analysis by the Associated Press.

Financial disclosures showed that the post-State Department speeches earned Mrs. Clinton nearly $22 million.

So the question of what they have been selling is spot on.

The tide of this election seems to be turning.

What once seemed like an inevitability – a President Hillary Clinton – now is horse race.

But you can never take the Clintons for granted. You can never underestimate their ability to recover from scandal. They've been down and out too many times to count. They've got too many friends in too many high places.

And her campaign has far more money in the bank than the "billionaire" does.

Even though she is a lousy campaigner with no charm, no accomplishments and is an angry, vindictive, say-anything-to-win candidate, she also has the uncloaked, enthusiastic support of the establishment media and Wall Street.

Don't count her out.

There's too much at stake.

Get off your butts and force her into retirement for the good of this country.

Don't let her sell this country down the tubes.
