Q2. In last week's Democratic debate Bernie Sanders questioned whether Hillary Clinton could be objective when it came to banking regulation given the speaking fees she received from Wall Street (an estimated $1.8mm from 8 speeches). In general, how much in aggregate speaking fees do you think it takes before a presidential candidate is biased toward the payers?
