That's some pretty impressive mental gymnastics. I'm surprised you can reference thinking past the sale to Clinton's campaign. Never heard that before, ever, anywhere.
America wants to find their wealthy and aspirational likeable, and they want them to like them back. They find neither with Clinton or Romney, which is why they'd get shit on for being wealthy and the Teflon Don walks out no problem.
I mean this is incredibly straightforward to the people who learned the lessons of the 2012 election.

Hillary is no Barack Obama but sure, i'll bite, entertain us how Wall Street's finest motivational speaker (e: with a family net worth of 9 figures) is just a working class champion of the people.
Romney tears businesses down to get rich, Trump builds them to get rich. One is a cockroach the other is a builder.

You're still looking past the pitch because you're not treating it for what the specific broadside was. You're trying to respond to the dumbed-down characterization -- that's where Romney went wrong and where Trump will go wrong, too. What Clinton
actually said was correct, and her campaign has more than enough policy tie-ins to drive it: Trump doesn't listen to people and he's completely out of touch.
Again, it's not a commentary on the money. If they wanted that argument they could have it. Benenson was able to drop that "Trump" jet image into ad after ad in 2012 to devastating effect because it reaffirmed voters' worst fears about Romney. Trump is even worse; not only did he give Clinton the opposition to a minimum wage hike but he also had that inexplicable "wages are too high" gaffe last year. His tax proposals are somehow worse than Romney's. He has a tower instead of a car elevator. Trump's LBO is his very name.
