[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]That's okay. The conservatives help Hillary with one hand and try to hurt her with the other. They really, really want her to be the nominee and have been strategizing for that eventuality for years.

If the information is accurate (which I will attempt to verify), this should only help Bernie - not the GOP.

property for capital gains, just the fact that you could own or even rent such lavish estates, because that is what they are, puts her in the Trumpsters orbit. At least he doesn't have a problem being upfront about it.

8. Very foolish to base your vote on the wealth of the candidate.

The majority of presidential candidates all have a lot more money than the average person will EVER HAVE! Same with senators, and many, many, house candidates as well. Having lots of money doesn't make you good or bad. Decisions on who to vote for should be made on things the candidate has done, policy positions they're taken, how much you agree with what they say, and do you believe what they're saying.

Hillary OTH is running ads about her poor mother. She's not mentioning how she lives today at all.

I guess some people don't get that even being able to rent some fabulous place for one month really does put you in the 1%.
