...

Howard just wants to be referred to a "person of means"!

Perhaps he thinks that makes him more relate-able to the average working stiff?

I don't think he's that dumb. I don't much admire him but I don't think he's trying to be the obverse of Trump and blow "poor".

Why does he have to be more relatable to the average working stiff? Far as I can remember, the only President (in the last 100 years or so )relatable to the average working stiff is Trump and he claims no simple means. Actually, seems like working stiffs like their Presidents to have 24K water taps and solid gold bidets...it's aspirational, i guess.

We need "get out the vote" campaigns like in the '70s-'90s. Aggressive voter registration like before would be nice. I'll stand next to Walmart with a clipboard. What happened to our organizers? Guess they burned out like us protestors. Burnout started with "next gen".

Really need this generation to pick up the baton.
