However, I do not think Hillary Clinton would ever ignore the needy. She was not born rich, though she is today, through her own efforts, i.e., money she earned by writing, and speeches; but, her humanity is real. Yep, I know, she is also well off; however, the people of this country are rich, poor, and inbetween. I hope she walks that road with humility and compassion, and, it is my belief and hope that she will. She and Bill are of us, not above us. This is why they connect to so many among us. Just sayin'. Don't want to start a Hilary thread.

When Republicans are in power, Democrats play along and the Republicans get their way. Maedhros Feb 2014 #42
