Just a little, maybe ... (wink!)
A "regular guy" like Ted Cruz looks VERY good up against a possible Hillary candidacy.
Jebbie Bush fades against Hillary b/c he and Hilly will both advance themselves using "white privilege." Jeb and Hillary are seen as opportunistic---using their privileged connections and political money to gain power.....which in the $5 million Cantor debacle is decidedly unpopular w/ voters.
Both Jeb and Hillary have benefitted from, and are climbing back into office, using privileges far beyond those of regular guys.
"White privilege" denotes the array of advantages cultivated over the years.
<><> personal wealth....
<><> multiple homes in posh enclaves....
<><> holding high public office....
<><> privileged friends in high places....
<><> global connections....
<><> constant affirmations of their own worth....
<><> greater social status...
<><> the expansive freedoms wealth and connections provide...
<><> unlimited access to the press to speak freely.
Up against a Bush and a Clinton, an ordinary guy like Cruz suddenly gains traction and momentum.
