    I’m criticizing the politician for living a significantly higher quality of life than his constituents. And, I’m criticizing the masses for aggrandizing the meaningless action because he’s a politician. I think we deserve much better leadership.

    It’d been nice if you asked a question instead of creating a strawman then spending three paragraphs defeating it.

      Dude he was a coach and a social studies teacher before he became a politician. I guarantee you he knows what it’s like to live on a middle class budget

        He stopped living that life and chose another. He’s no longer that person.

      If the strawman fits, burn it when you come to it. That’s what my grandpappy always used to say
