In reply to the discussion: I TRUST Speaker Pelosi!! [View all]StarfishSaver
(18,486 posts)30. Excellent question
I had a similar question when I heard Michelle Goldberg say tonight that the Democratic leadership was "out of touch with the American people."
"But you, a NY Times opinion columnist who, when you're not sitting at a computer writing about what you think, you're hanging out in cable news green rooms with other columnists telling each other what you think or sitting in television studios talking into a camera about what you think, have a better handle on what the American people think and feel and want than the people they elect to represent them?"
Really?
