Clinton's attack on Trump's wealth and lifestyle....um

I herd this little gem from a speech of Clinton attacking Trump I heard on the TeeVee machine.

I must paraphrase slightly because I couldn't find a clip online. But she basically said:

"Donald Trump tells people he will stand up for them because he is in touch with average people. But then he gets on his plane and flies to his luxurious home. How can someone who lives like that be in touch with the lives of average working people?"

Not sure that's the best line of attack.

The poor Clinton have to make do with just two....and they rent their Hampton mansion.

They're worth a mere pittance of $190 million, the poor dears.

It's bad enough we have people in the private sector claiming they deserve their billions. It's almost worse that the Clintons have made their fortune by leveraging off of their public service and political connections.

I really like the one that's $200,000 a month, but I'm trying to be frugal and ostentatious, so I might settle for the $150,000 one.

It's such a perplexing dilemma.

I am no fan of Hill and company, but the pounding she would take
in the General would be brutal and relentless.
