How long is the train ride ?

I’d estimate that his commute may equal or be shorter than some inter Washington travel by car.

In any case the working man persona seems to be the major strength they are trying to create.

His ride was about an hour and a half back then. It’s probably quicker now with Acela train. I don’t believe he did it everyday of the week back then. I did it everyday of the week. I’d have seen him on more than Fridays. As for the working man thing, you’re right, it’s not even worth dignifying with a retort. “Members” of the Senate are annointed ones. When work needs to be done, the staffs do it.

Thanks,

I suspected that this “ great sacrifice “ was probably equal to a car ride around a major city.

Agree on them getting the credit for all the research, speeches that others prepare. This comes out when they don’t have an ear piece available, and they really have to speak for themselves.

Example. Barry O’B without a teleprompter, or when he’s doing his stand up comedian act trying to make a joke out of something critical that’s been said about him.
