Do Clinton supporters lack a moral compass? Or are they all just blind?

Re “Ask those in the know about Hillary’s stellar qualifications” letter by Bob Ottinger.

Mr. Ottinger wants us to think he is an independent thinker, based upon his reading of Bob Gates’ book, “Duty.”

I have read this publication, as well as Leon Panetta’s book, “Worthy Fights.” However, before forming the opinion that “Billary” Clinton is the most qualified candidate to lead our great nation as president for the next four years, I suggest that Ottinger also read “Clinton Cash,” “Unlikable,” “Hillary’s America,” and “Crisis of Character.”

If after reading these four publications he still thinks the Clintons deserve to return to occupy the people’s house, The White House, then his moral compass is 180 degrees opposite mine.
