Is anyone who's been president or running for president a "commoner?"
Sure. A lot of our presidents, most recently Bill Clinton, were born poor and made successes of themselves later in life.
Clinton was governor of Arkansas before becoming president though. That's my point. And he was more lower middle class while growing up rather than coming from a hillbilly shack from the hills of Arkansas. He was attending a private all boys school when he met JFK and went to school in England, so he wasn't all that poor growing up.
