Hey, I know about that binder! And guess what — Mitt Romney was lying about it.
From the rush transcript:
CROWLEY: Governor Romney, pay equity for women?
ROMNEY: Thank you. An important topic, and one which I learned a great deal about, particularly as I was serving as governor of my state, because I had the chance to pull together a cabinet and all the applicants seemed to be men.

He was able to defend his own record, think swiftly on his feet, and his Benghazi answer was superb. He behaved like a president. He owned the presidency. And Romney?

He replied: "Everything" and "Nothing."
That's the response most people would expect. But an anonymous user on Quora, who claims to have made $20 million+ from a multi-billion-dollar tech IPO, doesn't agree. Getting rich is "really a burden," this person says.
