But I will vote for Hillary. Why? Because there is no way I want that super 1%'er, want to be dictator in my house (White House)!

His birthplace was a stately mansion on the Roosevelt estate, overlooking the Hudson River and set in the midst of broad acres near Hyde Park. The property had been in the possession of his family for a hundred years.
Being wealthy does not mean one will fight to make the wealthy even wealthier. JFK was wealthy, too, by the way.
ETA: In case you didn't notice, Romney was the nominee of the Republican Party. You're comparing apples to oranges. It's something else when Democrats complain about the (earned) wealth of their own party's presumptive nominee.

It matters.

Same crap they've been saying for the last 50 years. There's nothing new here and it's one reason why she lost Colorado.
Our industry is massive, you have no idea.

Tearing down our nominee. We need to be uniting against Trump, not inplying that the Democrat candidate is the same as Trump.

(435 posts)Welcome. I hope as time goes on and you are in the position of defending her you will begin to get to know her better and begin to admire her. That is what happened to me in 2007. I was really hoping Gore would run again and doing everything to try to convince him. When he made it clear to us that he would not, I started defending her supporters online because those attacking them were so nasty. In the process I had to research her and pay deeper attention. To my surprise I really began to admire her. Now I love her like an older wiser better sister.
