You didn't say "the 3 pre-conditions which should enable MOST people to accumulate $1+ Million net worth." You were crystal clear - as you can see above. One is more credible when one doesn't try ignore/change their story, after deleting it.
It takes a lot less skill to get elected Senator three times by a small, racially homogenous population. Especially when the Democratic party in one's state clears the way of competitors for you all three times.
Are you going to now say that the Strom Thurmond was even more "skilled?" Lindsey Graham?
Bernie has had very little positive to say about anyone else who got "some reward" for things such as speaking.
Interesting that the GOP had similar talking points about people making $250,000 "not really having that much money" when it came to raising taxes on that level, while saying that teachers making $60,000 were living high on the hog.
You also haven't answered this question:
Do you think that Bernie would have been able to have earned that much had he not been in politics?
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
