I have to ask: Why didn't Bernie wear a bathrobe?

I mean, a suit is so bougie, bathrobes are so cozy. If I could get away with it I would wear a snuggie in public. Either way, it's good for our democracy that we focus on the important issues of our time such as: suits vs. bathrobes.

Lame excuse I know but with the debate on a Saturday the cleaners closed early to go watch the football game.

they're criticized for having no creativity or for trying to look like a man. HRC used to be slammed for the latter when her go-to look was a pant suit.

Just tell us how great your candidate is, unless you. feel she's being threatened. Derision dies not speak well for your ethics about an accomplished politician.

BS wants to support.

Christie is for supporting King Hussein and Sanders is for supporting Abdul.

Neither one can nail down the name of the one of the most important figures in the Mid East, King Abdullah of Jordan.

knowing the name of one of the most popular and most important figures in the M.E. shows a true penchant for living in a thick-walled bubble.

and just shook my head. The hateful vitriol against Hillary Clinton sometimes has nothing to do with her vision for the country as president, but has everything to do about discrimination from everything from her "wide open mouth" to - seriously? - her clothing??

about attire and nightwear?

JaneyVee, why are you asking about Bernie wearing a bathrobe?

I am serious, I am not being snarky.

Did I miss something?

thanks

I'm an advocate for wearing cozy clothes in public.
