See, here’s the thing, Democrats have to come to grips with the idea that the Democratic Party doesn’t exist for Democrats, it is for the American people. We exist to serve the American people. And that means that the election is an occasion, we come and do it every four years at the presidential level, every two in the federal level, and various times at the state and local level. But the chance to connect with Ms. McGillicutty and listen to her, that’s really what should drive us. Because if you look at Ms. McGillicutty, she’s been pouring coffee at the Denny’s she works at for years, but she believes her daughters can be a doctor. But it’s so expensive, and the debt’s so high, and she barely has any money in retirement because she hasn’t been making no money, because she works for a tip wage. And the tips don’t come in, she don’t get paid too much.

She’s hoping that this pain in her knees is nothing serious. Could be arthritis, but she doesn’t know. And her sister died from breast cancer, and she’s like, “Well, should I get a double mastectomy? Because I cannot afford to get breast cancer.” I mean these things are on people’s minds. And then, she’s like, “I’ve been pouring the coffee, serving at this Denny’s for years. Hope the plant doesn’t close down, because then all the workers who come here, they won’t be coming here.” But maybe the plant did close down, and people go from making $22 an hour to making $13, so now they’re not buying the big breakfast no more, they’re just getting a couple of eggs and sausage, you know what I mean? Sausage. I mean, it’s just really sort of this… But we don’t know that, because we’re not building relationships.
