King is right.  The major viable attack narrative against Hillary is to paint her as out of touch, yesterday's news and part of the same old sclerotic Washington machine. 

Jeb Bush immediately takes that narrative off the table.  It becomes Bush vs. Clinton, a referendum on which political family America prefers.  The Clintons will win that battle any day.  People have concerns about the Clintons, but they ultimately like them and see them as competent leaders.  People see the Bush family as out of touch and incompetent.  The Clintons hearken back to the great economy of the 1990s.  The Bushes hearken back to the Iraq War, the Financial crisis and the failed Dubya Presidency.  It's no contest.

I didn't make up the story, it was reported in the news and was kind of a big deal. It's just another episode of how Hillary Clinton is out of touch with ordinary Americans. Jeb Bush is very wealthy and from a wealthy family, but thus far he has been more effective at downplaying that.

There's a point where being a partisan hack goes beyond ridiculous.  And, then there's a point beyond that where you criticize politicians for eating burritos.   

Chipotle is one of the most popular fast foods places in America.  Eating at Chipotle is not out of touch with ordinary Americans.  A meal there is about $10.  Does Hillary Clinton need to only patronize gas stations for her meals?  Or, is it that you think Hillary Clinton was pandering to Hispanics or young people by eating at Chipotle?  Or, is it that Hillary Clinton did something and it just has to be bad in some way because you disagree with her politics? 

But, I guess we just have to strap ourselves in for the Fox News media campaign.  "LOL! Hillary Clinton did something, what a bitch!" X 100,000,0003

Eating at Chipotle is not the issue.

Hiding from people does not help her appeal with average everyday people.

I still don't get it.  You're going to have to spell it out.  All these criticisms seem to stop short of explaining the problem with Hillary Clinton's behavior.

Finish this statement:
"The problem with Hillary Clinton going to a Chipotle is..."

she disguised herself, showing she's out of touch with folks.

Wearing sunglasses is not a disguise, unless they're attached to a fake nose and mustache. 

You're seriously saying Presidential candidates shouldn't wear sunglasses?  I guess Jeb has never worn sunglasses?  Oh wait, google image exists.



Not only sunglasses on his big fat face, but a hipster deep v-neck shirt.  So out of touch!!!!

Back to reality...

Celebrities wear a hat or sunglasses so they don't get recognized everywhere.  It's a fact and it's better for everyone.  Hillary didn't want to make a scene at a fast food restaurant.  And, they people at Chipotle just wanted burritos.  They weren't there for a Hillary Clinton meet and greet.  So, it was totally appropriate for her to be low-key and not make a scene. 

If you criticize people for this total nonsense, you lose your credibility to criticize anything because you'll criticize everything.
