The New York Times has an article asking readers to select (from their list) what questions they'd like to ask the 2016 presidential candidates.
It's clear that both candidates haven't given specific answers to questions about issues which directly affect us. What questions would Soylentils ask the candidates (your choices, not mine as in the NYT article) to identify their positions on issues which matter to you?
Some of the questions I'd like to see answered are:
How would you work with a Congress which isn't aligned with the goals of your administration to actually get something accomplished?
Does money equal speech? If so/not so, why and how?
How will you rein in our intelligence agencies that are unconstitutionally spying on U.S. citizens?
What specific steps would you take (if any) to combat anthropogenic climate change?
Would you allow non-American foods to be cooked in the White House kitchen? If not, what steps will you take to reduce the obesity problem that will inevitably ensue?
What about the rest of you? What questions would you like to see answered by the candidates?

That is like asking someone who owns a home and a car with a bit of cash in the bank and a small amount of debt what they are worth.
My personal value value fluctuates by nearly +/-3000 dollars PER day. I have enough assets for it do something like that. Non liquid assets. Liquid assets tend to be much more stable and do not fluctuate as much in value. DT and HRC both are in the same boat. As the market moves around them their value can change.
Take for example an empty warehouse. It has been on the market for 10 years. No one will buy it. Is it worth anything? Probably not much. But suddenly one day a company opens a new factory in the town and they need every scrap of warehouse space in town. Suddenly your property is worth a lot more.
