I would mostly quibble about the word "now". Unless you think Bill Clinton particularly cared about ordinary people. Of course, just because a statement is a disingenuous platitude doesn't mean it won't work on the campaign: few claims have ever been as explicitly fictional as Trump's pledge to clear the swamp and his supposed love for coal workers, and they were successful messages on the stump.
The Democrats used to be commonly known as the party of the working guy, evidenced by their previous dominance in the working-class South.

How, amidst all of the mush-brained attempts at political commentary in this thread, has no one commented on the fact that it opens by attributing the Solid South to the class consciousness of American worker?
Hahahaha, didn't read thoroughly enough to see that gem.
