Hillary Clinton’s extravagant lifestyle
Washington Times ^ | 6/23/2016 | Kelly Riddell

Posted on 06/24/2016 4:38:08 AM PDT by simpson96

Her campaign is based on the premise she’ll narrow the gap between the rich and the poor and understands the plight of the average working class.

“For the factory workers and food servers who stand on their feet all day. For the nurses who work the night shift. For the truckers who drive for hours and the farmers who feed us . For everyone who’s ever been knocked down, but refused to be knocked out,” Mrs. Clinton said during her presidential kick-off speech last year, vowing to fight for the middle class.

But this is a tough needle to thread, considering Mrs. Clinton is part of the top 1 percent of the 1 percent, and got that way profiting off of public service.

When Mrs. Clinton emerged from the hospital after the birth of her grandson this week, all eyes were on her $3,500 Ralph Lauren calfskin purse, being carried by an aide. New mom Chelsea Clinton and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, paid upwards of $1,700 or more per night to stay in the Lenox Hill hospital in Manhattan, the same one where Beyonce and Jay-Z welcomed their daughter.

The executive birthing suite is more like a five-star hotel, with “flat-screen TVs, lushly upholstered gray and cream sofas adorned with silken throw pillows,” the New York Daily News reported.

A far cry from your average hospital room.

There’s no doubt, Mrs. Clinton’s had trouble connecting with the people she’s trying to reach.

In the latest Quinnipiac poll in the swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, more than half of the respondents said Mrs. Clinton doesn’t “care about the needs and problems of people like you.”

They also judged rival Donald Trump as more “honest and trustworthy.”

Bill's boyhood home in Arkansas.

Clintons DC home---one of the homes they bought when they were "dead broke."

Has anyone bothered to point out that her team has been in the saddle for the last 7.5 years?

Disgusting but not unexpected.

Ya reckon Mr. Trump knows how to use a fax machine or send an email?

Hillary is smaller than a camel, but not by much.

That's about what one pays for a normal hospital maternity stay, and most facilities are much nicer than they used to be: have to be, to attract customers who have other choices.

Norman (OK) Regional was my most luxurious delivery experience. They had a major upgrade between my 3rd child's birth and my 4th. I could have moved in there to stay for a year!

Donald has more money, but he made it more honestly than Hillary so good luck MSMedia with spinning that one.

Amazing. Thousand dollar handbags and she still looks like she’s carrying out the garage.

You either have class and style or you don’t. Neither of the Clinton dames have it. Can’t they go back to Arkansas and leave my great town alone?

How you carry yourself determines whether the “have nots” will resent you.

I used to manage a restaurant in Little Rock and Jerry Jones (Cowboys owner) would occasionally come in just before closing and he and his party would quietly hang out for a while.
Now usually, a late customer that keeps you from clocking out and going home ASAP is cause for quite a bit of anger and rumbling, but not for Mr. Jones.

The first time he came in he made it a point to say hit to EVERY single employee in the front and in the kitchen (98% young black men), pose for pictures and even let them try on his Super Bowl ring.

Before leaving, he passed out $20 Bills like they were Pez and not ONE person said anything bad about the old, rich white dude........I can GUARANTEE you there aren’t any Hillary stories like that.

Was that Armani?? As Mammy in GWTW said, you can put a mule in horse’s harness and it’s still a mule.

She looks like a sack of potatoes.
