“I’m with you there on the sweater. I’m am so tired of seeing that look.”
This is another reason why we keep shooting ourselves in the foot.
We get too wrapped around style over substance.
Conservatives will piss and moan about a sweater or the cut of someones suit...and totally miss that candidates message.
Then they’ll scratch their heads and wonder how we...again...got a RINO as our nominee.
Worrying over whether a guy wears a sweater or not is how we get there.
Exactly, its basics,basics,basics.
I know and I’ll do penance for that while I’m doing penance for the Candy Crowley comment.
But people do like people or not based on perceptions and sometimes on appearances.
It’s not just the look of the sweater, it’s the statement he seems to be trying to make with it.
If he were doing something casual, fine - go sweater, but he is running for president. Look professional, wear a suit at least some of the time.
Now, I’ll admit that how one already feels about a candidate affects how little things strike one. I like Rick Perry and I’d probably defend him if he wore boots on the campaign trail.
