To the editor:
Stein makes a compelling case regarding elitism and the 2016 election, but I believe the case against political elitism is just a well-honed propaganda tool.
Hillary Clinton, who won the popular vote in 2016, did not come from a wealthy family yet built a stunning resume from hard work. Warren attended a public law school. We know the rest of the story.
President Trump has made a career out of being the rich spoiled guy. If having the audacity to bleed through a billion dollars in failed business ventures isn’t elitist, I don’t know what is.
Trump doesn’t represent corporate elitists; he is the corporate elite.

Note from KBJ: Trump may be elite, in that he's highly educated (Ivy League MBA) and has a lot of money, but he's not an elitist. He proudly and happily serves the people. By the way, Bethia. To be in business is to fail. Some people learn from their failures; some do not. Trump learned. He is fabulously successful.
