... it’s how you look

Then how in the world is Hillary winning in the Dem race?!

But I know what you're saying. The important things, like what the candidate thinks about stuff, don't matter anymore, it's all how you look. That might explain some of our recent elections...

Exactly. She is trying very hard to cultivate a winning smile. I think a photogenic smile is worth more than anything. Obama used it until everyone started to realize that he’s a light weight.

Look at the last several elections. Even Carter got elected because of his smile.

Appearance matters... it really does. And who was the best at it? Probably Reagan and Clinton.
