We no longer live in an era that produces "greatness" in men.

It's an unfortunate reality, but adapt we must. Technology lets us know everything about everybody, so politicians no longer have private lives. Previous presidents who were considered 'great' - were men we knew very little about on a personal level. We now deal with the nonsense that is pop culture; Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat...ad nauseum.

Social commentators have been clamoring for years about how the high and mighty have to 'identify' with the little guy...the everyday working person. They told us years ago that people vote for 'the guy they'd most like to have a beer with.' Remember (that a**hole) Obama's 'beer summit?' That's what it was all about. Old regular joe....Barack Hussein Obama, Mr. Red, White and Blue - having a brew with his buddies.

Trump has been referred to as a 'blue-collar billionaire.' I still love the guy. But that's just me.

I guess they wouldn’t want to have a beer with Mrs. Bill but would like to sip wine together.
