Naturally, the media will not give him any credit for standing up for the ones most affected, as he always has done. The poor, elderly, disabled; those in need of a job, food, a home or healthcare do not have the leisure to bloviate for tens of millions of dollars as most of the worst of the shills. Those people are invisible, not in their class or whatever. But dammit if we didn't show up and vote, and we'll do it again.
