Has only speaking to rich, private audiences created a situation where Hillary doesn't

know how to speak in public anymore? This thing with her praising the Reagans seems like a HUGE miscalculation and one made by a person who doesn't seem to understand whom she is speaking to.

his monstrosity is overlooked in those circles because he's revered as a powerbroker

I wouldn't say that Hillary speaks only to "rich, private audiences."

The audiences that she speaks to tend to be quite "exclusive." (I have a post up about this very topic, now).
