I always find it interesting that Hillary Clinton is perceived as condescending to the working class because back in 2008 when she and Barack Obama were battling it out in the Democratic primary, she was the candidate of the blue-collar worker -- while Obama was pegged as the stuffy-headed academic. And this was based on her advocacy of programs like CHIP that have really made a difference for working families by making sure their kids can go to a doctor, even if they can't pay.

I put so little faith in narratives about politicians because if you watch, over time they flip and change. Villains become heroes, heroes become villains, and everything old is new again. It's much better to just look at the policies they support and they bills they vote for.
