That comment is attributed to nearly every inside-the-beltway elitist. Who is it that determines they are smart? If you look at the condition of our country under their governance, it certainly is hard to prove the "smart" claim.
There are LOTS of comments that are attributed to the beltway ruling class that could be said about you or I. The fact is that Ed Rollins is NOT an “inside-the-beltway elitist”, but a street fighter. He has a blue collar history that would make the elitists vomit, including the fact that he tried to join the Marines but was rejected to to a back injury when he was an AAU boxer and THEN tried to bring the ROTC to a California college during the ‘60’s. Are you forgetting that fact that Rollins worked for Ross Perot AGAINST the RINO’s in the GHW Bush administration?
