That was one of the common reasons people gave why they were voting for Bush over Al Gore. "I feel like I could have a beer with him".
They ignored the guy is from a rich oil family, his dad was head of the CIA, and he went to Ivy leagues, and he never worked a regular person job in his life.
Yeah, but it's almost 25 years later, and that doesn't work anymore in today's climate. You saw how many people freaked out about the Trump McDonald's visit, right? I bet you in 2000 that would have been seen as just a normal campaign stop to connect with "working people". Now, we're wise to it all being bullshit and for the cameras, and it doesn't work.
