I have to ask: Why did Hillary wear her bathrobe? nt

[grasswire]

[JaneyVee]

1. Are you serious?

[Tipperary]

4. I know, right?

[SCantiGOP]

114. Just put people like this on Ignore

I couldn't stay on this site if I didn't have 20-30 people on Ignore.

[Tipperary]

119. That sounds like a good idea.

I have yet to do that with anyone, but this op seems like a good start.

[winter is coming]

2. Actually, you didn't have to ask.

[madaboutharry]

3. That is a mean thing to say.

It's a sweater coat and they are very in style right now.

[Dem2]

5. Not fair

delete this please

[demmiblue]

6. Unrec.

[fleur-de-lisa]

7. I am a Bernie supporter . . .

and I don't give a damn what HRC wears. I don't think this is even a valid point of discussion of DU.

[SusanCalvin]

15. Ditto, but

I love the outfit. Where can I buy one just like it?

[BlueMTexpat]

81. Thanks, fleur-de-lisa. eom

[bigwillq]

8. Huh?

Not sure you want to go there.
You're better than that.

[mythology]

59. They should be better than that

But the available evidence in this thread doesn't support that premise.

[Luminous Animal]

9. Really ignorant question.

[LexVegas]

10. There it is. nt

[MADem]

11. What a nasty remark!

Her clothing looks really nice to my eye. Comfortable and businesslike. She looks really good.

I can't believe you made that comment.

[Tipperary]

12. Pathetic.

Truly.

[ViseGrip]

103. Well I asked who picked it out, along with the drab color. the coat was ugly.

The problem is, Hillary worries too much about her body/ankles and has said you will never see her in a skirt. The long coat, the long bell bottoms, with the pointy shoes, only tall women should wear, I thought for a woman with a pretty face, great hair, could have a better stylist or better choices.

[pnwmom]

109. Those were regular slacks, not bell bottoms. And she was wearing normal pumps.

And since when is there a rule about shorter women not wearing pointy shoes? 95% of pumps are pointy so that would rule out most dress shoes.

[RKP5637]

13. I didn't know it was a fashion show. That said, I think it looks good on her, a very stylish

outfit today.

[reformist2]

20. Yes. I believe the French call it a "sac de pomme de terre."

[madaboutharry]

28. What is this, the fourth grade?

Calling her or her outfit a sack of potatoes is childish

[reformist2]

35. I will say that it looks like it was made from the highest quality burlap.

[Fast Walker 52]

113. No doubt!

[jberryhill]

62. Yes, but doing it in French is chuckleworthy

[DemocratSinceBirth]

33. A poor plebeian like myself was never privileged enough to learn French.

"Yes. I believe the French call it a "sac de pomme de terre."

reformist2

A poor plebeian like myself was never privileged enough to learn French. Could you please translate it for me and others similarly disadvantaged.


Thank you in advance.

[madaboutharry]

43. It means "a sack of potatoes."

[DemocratSinceBirth]

48. Seems like a rather mean spirited and puerile observation.

But then I'm not Christian Dior.

Before anybody corrects me let me state that even plebeians like myself know Mr. Dior passed away long ago.

[Proserpina]

117. Since you have internet access, you COULD just google it

There are plenty of free translation sites, if it doesn't come up automatically

I love the Internet! There's the world of knowledge at one's fingertips...

[Beaverhausen]

67. Actually the French call it Chanel

[SusanCalvin]

69. You're right, that's what it looks like.

Plus designed for comfort.

[Fast Walker 52]

112. LOL!!!

[TSIAS]

14. Unrec

This type of argument is beneath the dignity of the candidate we support.

[fleur-de-lisa]

21. +1

[Starry Messenger]

16. I hope whatever you are wearing repels Cheeto dust.

[LexVegas]

18. Ha. nt

[Bobbie Jo]

68. heh

[2pooped2pop]

17. I imagine because Laura Bush already was wearing the drapes? n/t

[SusanCalvin]

38. No, that would be Carol Burnett. nt

[hedda_foil]

74. True. Laura wore the upholstery.

[fleur-de-lisa]

19. Would you make similar comments about a male candidate's clothing?

Seriously, you should delete this.

[SusanCalvin]

29. Really.

Women are still working out the equivalent of a male business suit. Good. I'd hate to be stuck in a male business suit.

[davidn3600]

39. Men don't have much styles to choose from

A coat, tie, dress shirt, and pants is pretty much it for men when it comes to formal attire.

[fleur-de-lisa]

45. I don't give a damn if men habitually wear gunny sacks or ball gowns . . .

this line of discussion has no place on DU.

[SusanCalvin]

22. OK, it could be said to kinda look like that

From a full-length side view.

Still, certainly a side issue. It looks nice in closeup, and comfortable. I still want one just like it.

Are those big pockets? I'm in!!

[SwampG8r]

91. Of course it has big pockets

She needs room for her wall street money

[MoonRiver]

23. There's always one.

[Codeine]

24. I'm sure you're a stunning example of style,

fashion, and snappy dressing. I hope I look half as good as she does when I reach that age.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

25. That comment is so unnecessary... Hillary's looks should be off limits.

[fleur-de-lisa]

32. +1

[workinclasszero]

26. Hey let's talk shit about what the men are wearing

Oh yeah they get a pass on that.

It's only women who aren't in the kitchen baking cookies that get those kind of remarks.

[SusanCalvin]

42. Really. nt

[LittleBlue]

27. 50 shades of beige

Looks like an outfit worn by an eastern mystic or something... or Kim Kardashian. Very strange that her team let her wear that with the money they have.

[MoonRiver]

40. How liberal of you.

Maybe she had more important things on her mind. Hillary's clothes and hair have always been a target for her enimies. I think it is a real commentary about them, not Hillary's fashion sense,

[SusanCalvin]

46. Maybe, but these comments would not and do not happen with the males. nt

[Empowerer]

47. Her team "let" her wear that?

As a grown-assed woman, Senator Clinton no doubt is quite capable of picking out her own outfits and dressing herself. I doubt that she has empowered her team to determine what they will "let" her wear . . .

[TDale313]

78. This was a ridiculous op and

it's sexist that so much attention gets paid to Hillary's appearance and hair/clothing. That said, I suspect handlers actually do have input into what candidates wear for a major occasion like a national debate.

[Empowerer]

93. Input, advice, recommendations are one thing - giving her "permission" is a whole other . . .

[MADem]

75. You need to head for the big city--her look is, as they say, right "on trend." nt

[Dawgs]

31. LOL! My wife, a Hillary supporter, said the exact same thing earlier. n/t

[narnian60]

88. Good answer.

[one_voice]

36. No. You didn't have to ask.

[nolabear]

37. I am so sick of this tripe. You people should be ashamed.

I've heard some of the most foul, sexist, small minded comments I've heard intros campaign from supposedly intelligent, humanitarian people about Hillary. It's disgusting.

[RKP5637]

49. Agree!!! n/t

[Codeine]

55. Nothing like a powerful woman with an opinion

to bring out the worst in some people.

[Mike Nelson]

41. ???

...she looks fine...they all look fine.

[onecaliberal]

44. Please stop this. Self delete, the comment is foul.

[SusanCalvin]

50. I'm commenting, but not reccing

And I just had a look at the rec list..

[Hekate]

51. Why is Bernie's necktie crooked?

Jeez

[SusanCalvin]

54. .

[randome]

96. And don't get me started on all those wrinkles! What's up with that????

[hr][font color="blue"][center]"If you're bored then you're boring." -Harvey Danger[/center][/font][hr]

[bettyellen]

52. its called a tweed suit, for fucks sake. proud of yourself?

[Hepburn]

53. Come on...

...that is uncalled for. I don't like a lot of the clothing I see on many of the candidates, but it's the ideas and positions that matter. I really did not notice what she had on...just saw that all the colors on my TV seem to be off tonight and so no one looks that great on the tube.

[SusanCalvin]

58. I must admit I noticed it looked nice in closeup.

But I just made a mental note and would not have mentioned it if not for letting myself get distracted by this thread.

[Hepburn]

60. I am more into plain clothing...but I don't see anthing bad about anyone's clothing tonight.

I could not care less unless it is really something off the wall awful...and I have not seen that in any of our candidates.

During the last GOP debate noticing all of the bright red ties they men were wearing. Wondered if that was due to it being the GOP...or whether red ties are right now a men's fashion statement. Even Carly was in red. Maybe because of Christmas?

[SusanCalvin]

61. Exactly. Nothing comment-worthy in the clothing.

Everyone is decently covered and in line with social norms.

[cwydro]

56. Hit and run much?

Bored? Or just drunk?

Post like this make DU suck.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

57. This plebeian thought an emphasis on haute couture was a bourgeois vanity.

Is he wrong?

[SusanCalvin]

63. He is right and

I find your post really amusing after just reading a commentary on the English language on the back two pages of The Week.

[hootinholler]

64. Not a bathrobe!

It was a Jedi cloak!

May the force be with you.

[seaglass]

65. This is really becoming a pattern from you. Trivial insulting bullshit posted for no other reason

than to piss people off.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251779704

[ViseGrip]

66. Is the question, is Hillary hard on the eyes?

[Cha]

70. Good.. it shows how clueless you really are.

[emulatorloo]

71. Ugh.

[Lil Missy]

73. Sexist much?

[NanceGreggs]

76. Another important issue is raised.

The wardrobe choices of potential presidential candidates has been ignored for far too long.

BTW, I thought BS did a very good job at tonight's debate - and I am certainly no fan of the man.

That being said, I wonder why some of his "supporters" are more interested in discussing HRC's outfit than touting their candidate-of-choice's debate performance.

[RBInMaine]

77. Gee, I now I know that when Trump trolls here his handle is "grasswire."

[Purveyor]

79. Well it did have that 'burlap bag' look... Maybe she is trying to connect with the really, really

poor?

[pnwmom]

80. I think the color and texture was very warm looking -- a good choice. nt

[Purveyor]

107. Looked like something Wilma Flintstone could be seen wearing

[BlueMTexpat]

82. You mean this?

Why is this even an OP? Is it only when a candidate is a woman that the subject even comes up?

Hillary can wear anything she damn well pleases, IMO.

And frankly, so can the men.

[immoderate]

105. Looks pretty comfortable. Except maybe the shoes.

--imm

[grasswire]

115. okay, it looks a lot better in your photo than it did on TV

...and I realize that it is probably Chanel. I knew that it was Chanel from the beginning. But on TV, it only appeared baggy, shapeless, and frumpy. And washed out color-wise. Hillary is an attractive woman.

It still looks what is called "rump sprung."

[Proserpina]

118. Maybe she was cold

It's cold in NH. It's cold at St. Anselm's. I've been there.

[Tace]

83. I'm Not A Fan, But She Looks Like A Million Bucks...

...as usual.

She always dresses nicely.

[democrank]

84. I`m a Bernie supporter, but

this kind of crap is juvenile. Let`s stick to the issues.

[Nay]

86. I'm for Bernie, too, and agree that this shit is juvenile. WTH is wrong with

her clothing? Not a goddamned thing. It's perfectly fine, a lovely color, and quite trendy. I have no idea what people want out of this poor woman when they go on and on about her suits. It's so sexist and asshole-y that it makes me cringe.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

85. The irony is there are those...

The irony is there are those that argue misogyny and sexism are not part of the opposition to Secretary Clinton.


Thank you for reading.


Happy Holidays

DSB

[Le Taz Hot]

87. One of our guests said she looked like

one of the Sand People from Star Wars. Her stylist let her down this time.

[sufrommich]

89. Sexist,childish and petty.

You hit the trifecta! Good for you,I guess.

[wildeyed]

90. Save it for Twitter.

It's a better format for low blows and people there will forget you did it. Wow.

[JaneyVee]

92. The important stuff!

[mnhtnbb]

95. Hillary needs to place a call to Michelle and find out who is styling her. Michelle is the best

dressed FLOTUS since Jackie. I'm sure someone would LOVE a chance to style the--perhaps--first woman POTUS.

[pnwmom]

108. No. Hillary is running for President, not FLOTUS. And she's not aiming for the best-dressed list.

[randome]

98. She asked herself, "Now what would grasswire wear?" And then wore the exact opposite.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]"If you're bored then you're boring." -Harvey Danger[/center][/font][hr]

[onenote]

99. Classic hit and run cowardly OP

[Matariki]

100. Boo!

[BlueJazz]

101. I thought your post was hilarious.

[CrispyQ]

102. You should self-delete. Seriously.

And I'm not even an HRC supporter. Far from it. But this is a bullshit post.

[Blue_Adept]

104. A beautiful hit and run post. It says so much about you.

"With friends like these..."

[redstateblues]

106. Classy Sanders supporter

pathetic post. Says a lot about the poster

[onehandle]

110. Senator Sanders would want nothing to do with your OP.

Or you, I suspect.

[Warren DeMontague]

111. I dont care what she wears. I care what she says, what she does, what she voted for and what she

Stands- or doesnt stand- for.

[Hotler]

116. Sweet!.......

....

[LanternWaste]

120. What specific absurdity forces you to ask an irrelevant question?

What specific absurdity forces you to ask an irrelevant question that advertises your own character more so than that of the subject?
