15. The things he spoke of are pretty basic
The idea that you can directly relate how the children succeed to the values in the home ignores that it is never that simple. Of course, a child raised in a warm supporting home has a better chance than one raised in an abusive one, but beyond that you see some kids who fail, though they genuinely had everything (and I don't mean material goods only) and some kids persevere through the worse situations to succeed.

This was ONE speech and it is not the basis of his run. I doubt you made the same claim when HRC wrote her book when Chelsea was still a teen.
