Clinton and Obama had to work real jobs to make it thru college and law school. Bob Dole was the last GOP nom who ever had to hustle to get by.

Dubya and Trump spent their salad days constantly falling up into ever cooshier gigs. Republicans worship that sorry of thing. Dan Quayle, Mike Pence, even John McCain who Lord knows lived a real tragedy in captivity came back home and cashed in on connections to fall up into jobs servicing the ultra wealthy.
