I don't know about you but I didn't expect them to "go rogue and come out Dem", but they did say before the campaign that they would NOT be on the trail and in fact Jenna had announced taking a teaching job in NYC. She, at least, made a conscious decision to blow that off and tool around with dad.

They're trailer trash bona fides are supplied by their own conduct, their father's faults notwithstanding.
