The one thing everyone wants to know about 2016 Democratic front-runners Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden isn’t what their stance is on any crucial issue, but rather which one is more “dead broke” than the other. Or at least that’s what the two seem to think judging by their ridiculous comments about poverty.

I mean, poor Bill and Hillary couldn’t afford the “mortgages” on their “houses.” As “The Daily Show” host points out, she may want to watch her use of the plural when most Americans can barely afford one mortgage, let alone several.

“Why do these two seem to think we need a hobo for president?” Jon Stewart ponders. “More important, why do they think we’ll believe them?”
