1. There's an interesting divide among Democrats about Trump's wealth: is the problem that he's a fraud (not really rich as he says) or a rich crook (rich because he gamed the system & continues to do so as president).

4. Let's say Trump is only worth $100 million. That's still a lot of money and for most people conceptually indistinguishable from being a billionaire. The real problem with Trump, from a Warren/Sanders point of view, is not that he's fake rich but that he's corruptly rich.

5. One advantage with Bloomberg entering the race is that it allows Sanders & Warren to refine and test run their argument against plutocracy:https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/bloomberg-democratic-debates-trump/ …

The fact that he's a huge fraud is definitely *a* problem with Trump, though far from the only one.

Who cares what the "real" problem is. Find the problem that will get 50,000 people in PA, MI, WI to vote for anyone with a D next to their name and hit that hard.

This has always seen an insane strategy to me. The idea economically struggling voters would care if Trump is a mega-billionaire or merely an 800 millionaire? Whether or not it bugged Trump, making fun of him for being too poor was not effective at swaying persuadable voters

Trump is the post-modern billionaire. His exact wealth is insignificant. Trump adopted the "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" persona, epitomizing the style of the wealthy elite as Boomer TV viewers understand it. The substance of actual liquid wealth is secondary to the style.
