2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI am hung up on the inherent sexism of an orange man running for President.
Does anyone think that if Hillary stepped out on stage last night with a fresh spray tan that made her look like an Oompa Loompa, the press would just ignore it? Yet Trump strolls out every day looking freshly dipped in Cheeto dust. Every time I see him on TV I expect Chester Cheetah to pop out and tell us it has all been a hoax to market tasty cheese snacks.
Could Hillary survive the scrutiny if she looked like she might be moonlighting in an enchanted candy factory?

(54 posts)The dumpster is mocked mercilessly for this and his hair. I honestly see more about his physical appearance than I have about any candidate in a good while. I love it but it makes me feel a little dirty.

(54 posts)Most of the media I consume is center-left so I might be missing some of the more up front misogyny. I will say the colbert using an orange wearing a wig to show trump is magnificent. A basketball with tooth veneers. Hilarious!
