She was taking on the elites? She WAS the elites. Long before she became governor she had a family income of over 6 digits, so this whole "regular gal" routine is just that, a routine.
And the whole "oh, the media is mean to me" act is tiring as well. You can't really decide to make your daughter's pregnancy and engagement a campaign issue and then be surprised when they become tabloid fodder. You can't really accept the role of "snarky but lovable campaign attack person" and then be surprised when people are mean back.
I don't claim it is fair, but it is far, far from being unprecedented. Heck, Jon and Kate have probably received more negative press coverage than they did, and all they do is a reality show.
