Good strat for shaking hundreds of hands. Less fatigue.
Fuck, I just defended a Clinton. brb; gonna wash my brain.
He also couldn't be bothered to stop the conversation he was having with a staff member (about nothing important) or even glance my way. He engaged with everyone before and after me, so it really stood out, to the point that a couple of people commented on how rude it was. It was kind of crushing - I was like, 20, and had really admired him as a kid, and then I paid what was a ton of money for me at the time and waited for hours for nothing. Now that I'm older and a lot more cynical, I wouldn't pay to meet him in the first place, and I definitely wouldn't be surprised by a politician acting like an ass, but back then I was still young and idealistic and had feelings that could be hurt.
