I don’t think this remark is a big deal, but it bugs me that a Republican could never get away with it.
I agree. I babysat the neighbors kids a few times when I was 15-16. I never considered that a real job. Heck - I don’t even think of the years I had a paper-route (13 to 18 years old) as a real job. Although in hindsight I realize that paper-route taught me a lot about running a business, dealing with people, etc.
I agree. I think she was referring to teenaged girls babysitting, not professionals, so the remark doesn't bother me. But you're right, had Trump said this it would be on a running loop on CNN.
