“I realize there are some wealthy individuals – I’m not one of them, but some wealthy individuals who have a lot of stock portfolios"
"I'm not one of them" is an interjection to her main point, which is "There are some wealthy individuals who have a lot of stock portfolios". Her statement is equivalent to "I realize there are some wealthy individuals who have a lot of stock portfolios. I'm not one of them." The "one" which she accurately says she is not is a wealthy individual who has a lot of stock portfolios, not a general wealthy individual. I don't see a grammatical reason to interpret her statement differently. Further, it would make no sense for her to do so-- she is surely well aware that she has publicly disclosed her wealth.
Isn't this fun, LadyLiberal?
Some of them are aware and lying. Others are just unaware.
It's alright. I enjoy parsing grammar quite a bit more than most, but it's not clear how I can make the point any more clearly than you already have.

In what possible way is Warren "not" one of them? She is both wealthy and she owns a sizable stock portfolio. That's beyond question. So why does she feel the need to try and pass herself off as someone who isn't wealthy or an owner of 8 million dollars worth of stock? It's quite obvious that Warren is reluctant to admit what she is because it will offend the delicate sensibilities of the OWS crowd that thinks anyone who can balance a checkbook is a corporate stooge.
LoneLaugher, lame.
Warren, like Moore, is so uncomfortable with people thinking about her wealth that her first instinct was an unforced lie about it.
Some stock portfolios are more stocky than others
I see Elizabeth Warren thinking that she's not wealthy with her stock portfolio like someone thinking the guy with 85,000 acres was only a "farmer".
Sorry, Del. She was not making the claim that she is not wealthy. It is clear.

Except, no where in the video did Warren suggest she was not wealthy nor have a large stock portfolio. She clearly said she was not one of those wealthy people who had many portfolios.
Why are you people choosing to ignore plain English?

In order to go there you have to have NO COMPREHENSION of the word 'portfolio'.
Portfolio (finance), a collection of investments held by an institution or a private individual
In this usage it cannot be pluralized, the contents of the portfolio can (stocks and bonds) but the portfolio is singular only.
