3. It's all such bullshit. If you want to run for office, especially for President,
you don't stand a chance in hell of getting very far if you don't have, or can't bring in a bunch of money. However, you get slammed from both sides if you do, (and if you are a Democrat).

This is the TV/YouTube generation, and if you don't look good, you get slammed. However, you also get slammed if you spend any money on looking good (if you are a Democrat).

If you live in a large home, even if it's energy efficient, but talk about the poverty-stricken in this country, you get slammed (if you are a Democrat), even if you truly DO understand the plight of the under-privileged.

These days, you just can't win for losing, it seems. :eyes:

Unless, of course, you are a Rethuglican; then, you can do, say, or be anything and anyone you want to be, and you get a freakin' pass.
