And, really, how could we expect him to care? He has never had to live the way a lot of us live. Taking the bus to work cause we have no car. He's never had to pick between paying the electric bill and having grocery money. He sees ads for a PPV fight in Las Vegas and he can just decide on the spur of the moment to hop on a plane and go, without worrying about getting to work the next day. There is a part of me that wants to attribute this lack of caring to cluelessness rather than meliciousness. But that ship sailed with his "47%" comments. I know no one is excited about him as a candidate.
