An image experiment, who do you trust, and what does that say about the circles you move in?

Who you think will be better for you as representing your interests in politics and who fits your worldview involves asking yourself, is it a matter of the class you are in, or the values you hold apart from class?

Image sources: Pence, a YouTube capture; Ellison, Strib photo, cropped. There, do you feel it a stronger image in the original, or cropped? Venture a guess: Would Ellison be invited as a speaker at Hudson Institute? Why/why not? Would it be anything beyond the Hudson Institute constituency, what they want to hear? To be told? Is your impression of either photo affected by the context; post-election winner vs. policy speech, single person at a podium, already entrenched in an official position, lecturing?
