60 Minutes "Out of Touch" vs. "Far Detached"

            This week I decided to take a different angle at the upcoming presidential election. As I was siting in my living room after the Patriots vs. Steelers games, a 60 minutes special involving the looming election came on the air. The show was overall very unbiased; it showed and interviewed supporters from both sides.  The segment had the goal of figuring out which candidate is more out of touch with reality. The state of Ohio has picked the winner of every election since 1964, and no Republican has won an election without taking Ohio, and this is why Ohio is so influential at this time. The latest poll has Hilary and Trump in a dead heat coming into the final two weeks.

Interestingly they interviewed a couple that had different political views, the wife supported Hilary and the husband a Trump supporter. The husband was a steel worker who lost his job when the mill shut down; he believes that Donald Trump will bring back the jobs to the state of Ohio. In contrast his wife believes that Donald is nothing but talk and she believes that Hilary can bring back the jobs just the same. I found it interested that one of the men stated that Hilary was too far detached from what they are going through in Cleveland, he pointed out that Hilary was wearing clothes that cost more than what he would make in a full years work at the mill when he still had his job. All in all it was a very interesting clip that shows that many people support each candidate for many different reasons, and for right or for wrong, it will make for an interesting race in Ohio.
