That quote reminds me of something I was thinking the other day... Rs love the whole "pull yourself up by your boot straps" mentality.  There is no clearer example of that than the Clintons. You can say whatever you want about their policies or their behavior (which I have criticized in the past), but those two people came from humble beginnings and used their intelligence and hard work to get where they are at.  For those who claim HRC rode on her husband's coat tails, I don't know how true that is because if you read about her past, and how she graduated magnum cum laude, and how her college classmates thought she would be the first female president, I think it shows how tough and intelligent she is. I'm thinking she was an asset for Bill  more than anything. He had the charisma, but I think she had the smarts.

Trump, OTH, is the anti-thesis of the R battle cry.

BTW, I used to be a R, and voted for both Bushes and highly criticized the  Clintons during that whole Lewanski scandal.  I remember when people used to call her Billary, but I never understood why they did that and was actually kind of offended by it. As a female, I think men just didn't like that a female could be so ballsy and intelligent.  Up until then, FLOTUS were pretty quiet and unassuming.

Sorry, totally off topic, I know.[/quote]
Not off topic at all.

Also, someone called the Great Ganzo (I think I'm getting that right, but I can't find it, so probably not) said on twitter one of the nights that the Tax Scam bandit Paul Ryan sorta announced he was maybe quitting that Paul was going to go open up his dream amusement park, Ayn Rand Land. And there would be one ride: pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.

The elected Republicans are largely of inherited wealth, and where they are not, they definitely believe in pulling the ladder up behind them. I'm with Paul - Wellstone, that is - "we all do better when we all do better." DH and I are doing great and I wish I could share this feeling with the people who aren't.[/quote]
