(62,325 posts)as is Bernie. He talks to people on a personal level also, but talking to just a select few deprives so many others of being included.
I spoke to Hillary on a personal level. It was at a very exclusive multi million dollar home of a Dem fundraiser. I worked for them. She was very gracious, there were about 40 very wealthy people there for a very private dinner, cost them several thousand dollars.
The staff who worked there didn't get much chance to speak to her, nor did she reach out to them.
Charlie Rangel otoh, also attended one of these functions and rather than spend his time among the select few there, he spent his time talking to the staff, me included.
He really was interested in what we thought. Hillary seemed more comfortable among the wealthy donors.
