Since the Democrats have made it clear that anyone who is rich is evil, shouldn't that disqualify some of their future Presidential hopefuls from getting the nomination?

The Clintons are worth over 100 million dollars. That makes Hillary evil. She couldn't possible get the nomination in 2016 because Democrats demonize rich people. It would be too hypocritical even for them, right?

What about Democrats in Congress who could potentially become Presidential candidates. John Kerry is another example. He is filthy rich. Democrats would have voted for him if he were the Party's nominee in 2008.

John Edwards is also a multimillionaire.


But going forward - the Democrats have changed the landscape for their voters. The voters hate rich people.


In future elections - Will Democrats only nominate candidates that are not wealthy, thus keeping in line with their new value system?

Well, we already know they are nominating candidates now that are not qualified so anything is possible I guess.

Maybe all of the Democratic candidates for President in 2016 will be on welfare.

I doubt it. Only the 1% can afford to run and hold office these days.

It's funny because the democrats absolutely worshipped every Kennedy ever born and they are a very very wealthy family. Why didn't it matter that Teddy Kennedy was so excrutiatingly rich? Jimmy Carter was very rich too. But no one saw him as very evil. And the Clintons have amassed a huge fortune and the democrats worship them like they were gods of some kind.

Democrats only hate rich people who worked their way to the top. Democrats love rich people who got rich by trampling all over the poor, robbing the public treasury, and tax evasion (Claire McCaskill, Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Elizabeth Warren). Democrats also love rich people who inherited all their wealth i.e. John Kerry, John Kerry's wife who inherited all her money from her first husband, Republican Senator John Heinz, The Kennedys, etc.

Last I checked a net worth over $11 million is rich, given that Obama is nominated this year, I would say that they don't care if their side is rich.

It's impossible to win the Presidency without being rich, so not likely.

The OP needs to stop trolling.
