I mention Hillary going into Chipotle isn't consistent with how she's interacted with the middle class over the years and you compared that narrative with Paul Ryan washing dishes except you didn't realize Paul Ryan had a modest upbringing. You didn't do your research.
You compared Hillary going into Chipotle to Bush and his photo ops. You didn't do your research.
The upbringings of Clinton compared to that of Ryan and Bush couldn't be more different. Your comparison was way off.
Lmao. You're joking right. Have you looked at Paul Ryan's childhood. Prominent family, dad was successful attorney and grandfather was federal prosecutor. He used his family connections to get internship and used family connections to make his way in the political arena.
And do I really have to go over where and how George bush grew up?
lol....I'm trying to go easy on you here. You went off into some upbringing contest that was never in the anything I said and it has now backfired. Im willing to let you out of it though.
101-100 Sixers with .17 left. Heat hit a 3 to go up 103-101 with .09. Brown calls a TO. I don't know what he discussed but off the inbounds pass some POS shot a 30 footer that went 27 feet. A Heat player grabbed the airball and rushed down the court for a layup with .01 left like his life depended on it.
His dad died when he was 16, he went to a local high school, worked at McDonald's and Miami U in Ohio.
Bush joined the Navy and served in the War. He returned from the war and lived with Barbara in an apartment in Michigan where they had all their kids. He had been accepted to Yale prior to his enlistment.
Don't want to go round and round with you Vit. The upbringings of these people couldn't be more different.
gotta say this is the first time I've ever heard someone say bush didn't have a privilege upbringing.
Paul Ryan had plenty of advantages despite his month a McDonald's
even so.....none of this was even the point. The are all out of touch at this point in their lives. They all do these "man of the people" photo ops that are total bullshit. Which was the original point before you started this childhood thing which clearly has back fired on ya. Good luck though.
I certainly agree with you. They have to do these photo ops. My point was simple.
P Ryan and George H.W. Bush can pull it off and it's believable. Hillary can't and it's not believable.
Bush is the son of a Senator got it. But he was on his own serving his country at 18. He made it on his own through hard work.
What kind of upbringing do you think Hillary had??? She wasn't a child of wealth like the Bushes.
Vit's point is spot on. NONE of these folks running for POTUS have any recent contact with middle class life. When you see them schmoozing with the commoners, it's all a photo op. The closest we've had, and may ever have again, is Obama in 2008. He was only a few years removed from the middle class.

Hillary Clinton has at least 12 million reasons to be happy she’s off the government payroll.
The former secretary of state has earned at least $12 million since leaving the Obama administration 16 months ago, according to an accounting Monday by Bloomberg News.
The tally is based on research into Clinton’s speaking fees and the advance she received for her new book, “Hard Choices,” about her four years as America’s top diplomat.
“Her earnings represent a fraction of the Clinton family’s total income and yet were large enough to rank her not only in the top 1% of the nation’s earners, but in the top one-hundredth of the 1%,” Bloomberg News said.
At least half of her earnings came from more 100 speeches “to a range of industry groups, nonprofits, universities and corporations,” Bloomberg News reported.
She is believed to be paid at least $200,000 per appearance — however, some of those fees, including all of those for college campus speeches, have been donated to the family’s nonprofit foundation.
“All of the fees have been donated to the Clinton Foundation for it to continue its life-changing and lifesaving work. So it goes from a foundation at a university to another foundation,” she told ABC News last week.
There has been an intense focus on Bill and Hillary Clinton’s earnings ever since she began her publicity blitz ahead of the release of “Hard Choices.”
She invited some of the scrutiny during an interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer when she defended the power pair’s six-figure speaking fees, saying, “We came out of the White House not only dead broke but in debt.”
The couple did have massive legal bills, but as the Clinton presidency ended, they bought a $2.85 million home in Washington and a $1.7 million home in Chappaqua. Hillary Clinton also landed an $8 million advance for her book, “Living History.”
Clinton later acknowledged, “That was an inartful use of words.”
Republicans on Monday tried to make political hay out of the Clintons’ earnings, launching a website to track her comments on the subject —PoorHillaryClinton.com.
“It’s a hard-knock life,” the website declares above TV clips and excerpts of Hillary’s remarks about her family finances.
“In the span of just a few weeks, Hillary Clinton made enough out-of-touch comments about her wealth to fill an entire website. So the RNC created one,” Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement.
“Poor Hillary. She just doesn’t get it. After so many years of a gilded lifestyle, she’s clearly developed a tin ear,” he said.
As Hillary Clinton crosses the country to promote her book, "Hard Choices," her husband Bill is trotting around the globe in support of the Clinton Foundation.
In Vietnam on Friday, Bill Clinton told CNN his wife "needs time" to consider a potential presidential bid in 2016, adding that he is "fine" with whatever decision she makes.
"Now that the book is done, she wants time to think about that and work through it … it's a decision that only she can make, and I'm not going to try to jump the gun and if she decides not to do it, I'll be happy, too."
James Carville, the infamous political operative behind 1992 Bill Clinton's presidential run, said over the weekend he's confident that she will run.
"Usually when someone runs for president once, they do it again," he told radio host John Catsimatidis on Sunday, adding that of the field of likely Democratic candidates for the White House, "I don't think any of them can beat Hillary."
Carville is among the influential Democrats who have lent their names to the Ready for Hillary Super PAC fund-raising effort.
