2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHillary Clinton was working hard to make tens of millions or more with Bill for themselves
She held office for only 12 years..
While Bernie was working hard full time for the people just on his and Janes's on his salary
Bernie has held public office for 33 years
The Clintons did not start out as wealthy people but they are now multi millionaires many times over while "working for the people"
The Sanders did not start out as wealthy people and they MAYBE -are worth one million dollars if that.
Who spent more time working for themselves and who spent more time working for the interest of the people?
