Most Democratic voters say that billionaire politicians are out of touch with the average American, according to the latest Hill-HarrisX poll released on Wednesday.
Sixty-nine percent of Democratic voters in the nationwide survey said that billionaires dont understand the problems facing the majority of Americans.
Another 31 percent of Democrats said they thought billionaire candidates are better equipped to focus on the needs facing the majority of voters across the country.

Bloomie and Steyer have their work cut out for them. It might help if they'd concentrate on issues that really matter to voters. I'm quite happy with this state of affairs since it just means more chaos for the DemonShits. Looking more and more like a contested convention in Milwaukee with winner presently unpredictable.

ROFL!!
Irony isn’t a strong enough word.
There needs to be a whole new word created for the hypocrisy and irony inherent in the D party :)

Ha, let’s hope so! It amazes me that any of these Democrats have any supporters at all. That means some Americans embrace socialism and complete government control of our lives. They’re willing to give up their rights and freedom for “free” stuff.
And, of course billionaires are out of touch with the rest of us. How can they possibly relate to those of us who spend extra time in the grocery store comparing prices to get the best deal? We live in different worlds but that’s reality.

Frankly, I’ll bet they are more in touch with the average American, than the average American is with them.
Some of these guys made their billions from nothing.
This class bull stuff is a dead end street.

No way! I can't believe there's anyone stupid enough to vote for Shrimp Bloomberg. Or Joe Biden. Or Hillary.

Foreigners should be seen and not heard.

As my teens used to say to me: Duh!
Billionaires drive (are driven in) better cars, take better vacations, eat at better restaurants.
That said, I don’t know any billionaires. But I must say, PDJT connects with me almost every day in the things he says and does. I’m still smiling about him saying that if he’d taken Bolton’s advice we’d be in World War VI.

Yet their last presidential candidate was completely out of touch with average Americans. I bet it has been a long time since Hillary drove a car, pumped her own gas, or cooked a meal for her family.

Indeed! Since most of the career D critters are receiving large kickbacks from foreign aid sent overseas and lots of it finding its way back. Not to mention lobbyist payoffs, etc. I’m not mentioning Rs who receive much of the same because Rs are not mentioned in the article. What kind of gall is required for grifting millionaires to criticize a few self-made billionaires?
