If the media attacked Romney for being out of touch with America...

That reasoning didn't help Romney.
No, he became too overt about it. But, in 2012 his wealth we being held up by some as proof of his fitness for the presidency.
He became to overt about it? You said yourself he was recorded unknowingly from a private dinner.
Why not admit it for what it was? The media becoming too "overt" about it.
As you wish. His personal view became known and the public didn't like it. We live in a media intensive time. Everyone has a recording device in their pocket now.
I'm not going to blame the media for everything any more than I'm going to blame Bush.
''We really thought we were going to win this'' he said (the Presidency) as tears swelled up his eyes.
Of course you won't blame the media. They support the left openly. Romney's personal view is probably no different than Hillary's. But the media will probably give her a pass where it jumped on him. That's the whole point of this thread.
We'll be sure of that after Hillary makes a statement like his about the general public. And it probably needs to be "caught" on tape, like his, to give it the same gravity. Until then, we'll have to speculate.
One could argue, though, that rep failure to effectively take the reins of media is (partial) proof of their unfitness to lead.
That seems way out of character for a masterful captain of industry.
Thank you for answering my original question (though you obviously were trying hard not to - as usual) that these statements about being "broke" because she couldn't afford "houses" and stuff will continue to be viewed by the left as "not the same thing" as Romney being out of touch from the average Americans because of his wealth.
I'm sure that, short of screaming into the camera "you serfs better vote for me because I know what's good for you", the left will ignore from Hillary many of the same issues they had so fiercely pointed out to the public about Romney.
It probably is the same thing in the public's view, but as I said, it's different when the candidate says something insulting about the people he or she is trying to win.
