    There was a time when Romney desperate to look relatable, so he did a photo-op of him eating at McDonalds and gave a speech about how his dad was “Friends with the owner” and how he has a “Lifetime free food” pass with McDonalds… Not only did this speech kinda drive home the “I’m better than you!” thing even harder…

    But the pictures of Romney at McDonalds were bizarre, made him look out of place and confused. There’s one of him sitting down with no food, no ticket, clearly waiting for a server even though that’s not how fast food works, where he just looks like a lost puppy. (I remember joking about him wanting to see the wine list when I saw the pic)

    There’s also the time Paul Ryan broke into a homeless shelter to take a picture of himself cleaning already clean bowls so he could claim he “regularly did volunteer work there”, something the Shelter was quick to call bullshit on.
