Why do you think Bernie chose this debate necktie?

[Cheese Sandwich]

Risky choice?

[forest444]

1. He looks like a million bucks.

Hillary, on the other hand, actually had close to that on her in 24-k gold jewelry - and still looked like a bourgeois upstart.

[Beacool]

66. Really?

Hillary looked fine and so did Sanders.

[Snotcicles]

2. Maybe it was Jane's turn to chose. nt

[dchill]

3. I don't know.

But every time I see your username I get hungry!

[Cheese Sandwich]

24. Have a snack!

[dchill]

29. I did, damn you!

7

[Owl]

79. Yup. Eating cheese now.

[jillan]

4. I didn't even notice his tie until now. I like it. You have some theory here...

please share

[Cheese Sandwich]

25. When he came on camera my first reaction was Oh GOD NO THAT TIE......

It's over. The revolution is doomed. But then over the course of the debate I gradually started to like it more and more.

By the end I couldn't believe how much I loved it and there couldn't have been a better choice of tie.

[Mufaddal]

5. Because that's how he rolls

Bernie DGAF

[JI7]

6. it was the one at the top

[Cheese Sandwich]

26. Maybe he just reached into a suitcase and pulled out a random tie without a single moment's thought

That's would be like the Berniest thing ever.

[putitinD]

7. He looks great

[slipslidingaway]

8. Not sure, but the barber in Kansas did a wonderful job ...

[CdnExtraNational]

27. It makes you wonder what the secret service does in these situations. nt

[slipslidingaway]

34. They followed him in :) nt

[Cheese Sandwich]

28. He looks fantastic

[slipslidingaway]

35. Yes he does, I could not keep up with his schedule, and remember he has a day job ...

as a senator.

[Nyan]

9. Looks like a winner to me.

[trueblue2007]

10. he wanted to look YUCKY Tonight. He got his wish

[Blue_In_AK]

11. Yucky?

Really?

[trueblue2007]

15. he wanted to look AWFUL Tonight. He got his wish

[senz]

38. And all we care about is what people ... "look like" ...

[Blue_In_AK]

39. SMDH

[panader0]

51. "YUCKY"? "AWFUL"?

Time for a nap sweetie.

[trueblue2007]

68. i will get you a blankie and your pasifier thingy

[Fawke Em]

69. If I said that about Hillary, I'd get a whole post written in her group

about how sexist I was - and I'm female.

[Barack_America]

12. Are you suggesting he doesn't have a stylist?

Is that allowed?

[MuseRider]

13. We thought he looked terrific

tonight (last night now I guess). I thought the tie was nice and his suit looked great.

Nothing better looking than a man with a plan, a progressive point of view and a heart filled with equality. The nice suit helps too.

He did a great job tonight.

[Cheese Sandwich]

33. I really thought it was his best debate so far

It's the first time the questions went to trade, NAFTA and TPP.... it's a great strength for Bernie.

But Hillary is a great debater always. So it's a challenge.

I think the tie helped him.

[The Midway Rebel]

14. He looks, as my DI used to say...

Sharp as a fucking tack.

[Cheese Sandwich]

23. DI?

not your Diving Instructor...

[VulgarPoet]

49. Drill Instructor, looks like ol' boy's a Marine. nt

[The Midway Rebel]

67. Drill Instructor

My Driving Instructor told me, "Stop rolling cigarettes while you're driving."

[ThePhilosopher04]

16. He doesn't give a fuckety fuck about no damn necktie. He's on a mission to save America from ...

oligarchy and fascism. And we're talking about fucking neckties. Jeebus!

[Cheese Sandwich]

22. I find my eye is really drawn to it

[Samantha]

17. What kind of lapel pin is he wearing? Does anyone know? (eom)

[hedda_foil]

19. Probably his Senate pin.

[Samantha]

31. I think you are right--I was hoping it would be one of the US flag pins because that would have

annoyed some people....if you catch my drift.

Sam

[Cheese Sandwich]

20. I think it's Senate issue

They all seem to have one

[Recursion]

37. That's his Senate pin

Senators pretty much always wear those.

[Waiting For Everyman]

18. I think he looked good tonight.

Why, is it a commie tie?

[Cheese Sandwich]

21. probably

JUST KIDDING!

[840high]

30. I had soup and Cheese Sandwich for dinner.

[Cheese Sandwich]

32. Sounds nice

[Fawke Em]

70. Tomato soup?

I LOVE tomato soup and cheese sandwiches (including the OP. )

[840high]

74. yes yes!!!!

[Recursion]

36. I really like it

It's fairly current (though retro in its own way; Max Headroom could have worn it), and looks great.

[Cheese Sandwich]

41. I think it was a very bold choice

[VulgarPoet]

50. Retro's a good aesthetic for ties, not gonna lie

I kinda want one, but then I remember I don't wear suits enough to justify having one. I'm still very much a hoodie, jeans, and cap type when I'm not in uniform.

[hopemountain]

40. he looked rested and very "on"

can't say the same for hillary. navy blue is not her best color. and she needs to stop wagging her finger or shaking a closed fist to maker her point. we are not a bunch of children for her to scold into voting for her.

[Cheese Sandwich]

42. I thought they both looked great but the were placed way too close together.

[Svafa]

53. OK good; I thought I was the only one who thought their podiums were really close together.

Not a big deal, but it stuck out to me.

[NCTraveler]

43. Huge risk. Huge. nt.

[randome]

44. Because Mojo Jojo told him to.

[Cheese Sandwich]

45. We must be about the same age

[randome]

47. Actually, I had a second childhood watching cartoons with my daughters.

It's odd how much their favorite toons have become part of me. From the hoakey Fantastic Four cartoons of 1967 to the Powerpuff Girls of the 90s, I sometimes feel like a regenerated Time Lord.

[Orsino]

46. Sick of this sexist double standard.

Why can't a man be judged on something other than his appearance?

[ebayfool]

90. Bwahahaha ... Good one! Unfortunately also apropos the way the sexist tag is thrown out these days!

Personally, I think it's his lucky tie. And Hillary can have one too, so no one accuses me of having a double standard!

[marions ghost]

48. Dynamic & bold

I like it!

[pansypoo53219]

54. bold, yet sedate to me. serious, stripes banal. trite.

[marions ghost]

61. Yep

he rocked it

[dana_b]

52. I'll admit that I hadn't even noticed but I like it

usually they go with all blue or red. Boring!!!

[Cheese Sandwich]

59. He's wearing the same tie again today

At the Fox thing. It's a nice tie!

[kgnu_fan]

55. I think he has great taste! Artsy, even....

[Cheese Sandwich]

78. I wouldn't be surprised to hear he got this tie at Goodwill.

[kgnu_fan]

82. You will find amazing things at Goodwill! You have have good eyes!!!

[grossproffit]

56. He's adorable.

[olddots]

57. do you know neck wear used to signify

that you didn't work with your hands ? Republicans love neck ties .

[polly7]

58. It's attractive and eye-catching, yet doesn't distract from that adorable

face and fantastic new haircut.

I think he's such a cutie-pie.

[Biggs McGee]

60. When I saw that OP, I looked up

and loved that tie.

I want one!

Even though I don't wear a suit that often.

[Cheese Sandwich]

62. I haven't worn a tie in quite a while

It would be neat if somebody could find us a link to that tie in the Sears catalog or something like that.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

63. but Hillary wasn't wearing her Goldman Sachs tie

[Arazi]

64. "No capes!!" As long as Edna rules. ..

[Donkees]

65. It matches the podium design

[demwing]

71. Bernie's been poppin tags

He's only got $20 in his pocket
Sander's been hunting, looking for a come up
This tie is fucking awesome...

[Cheese Sandwich]

73. haha

[a kennedy]

72. "Not sure, but the barber in Kansas did a wonderful job" ...

who was the candidate that received a $300 haircut?? wasn't that John Edwards?? I wonder how much Bernie paid for his???

[PonyUp]

75. I'm glad he didn't wear a Mao jacket like some debaters. n/t

[Katashi_itto]

76. It a seceret signal to his Communist Regiments waiting in underground lairs around the country.

[Travis_0004]

77. I question his choice of the half winsor knot.

ok, not really. In fact I think Bearnie looks good in that tie.

If he wears a tie with cartoon characters, lets talk about that but otherwise there are more important issues.

[PonyUp]

80. He should wear this one:

[Owl]

81. Nice tie! Looks sharp!

[JackRiddler]

83. Nice suit but hideous necktie.

I always choose something with at least a bit of red and bright colors in it. Also, no geometric patterns. Paisley or art pieces.

[Cheese Sandwich]

84. I like it. The angular diamond grid pattern suggests strength.

The alternating light and dark bands invoke a sense of dynamic energy.

[JackRiddler]

86. Oh please. It looks like an early 1990s Windows boot-up screen.

[Cheese Sandwich]

87. for reference

[JackRiddler]

88. The horror. But notice they knew to use bright colors

including RED!

Reclaim the RED!

[Kittycat]

91. I liked it.

Are we still
Talking about ties and suit colors, lol? Just kidding. Seriously though, I liked the tie.

[JackRiddler]

92. Yes, for my part, I am talking about the suit and the tie.

But I'd like to see some organic shapes and REDS along with bright blues, even yellows. A tie should be a centerpiece, like a hairdo or a necklace, or else it should not be worn. And of course, I do mean RED not only for the great aesthetic appeal!

[Cheese Sandwich]

93. So more like this...

[JackRiddler]

94. That's the kind of thing I wear...

on the few occasions when I do.

[Ken Burch]

85. Because he realized HRC was hoping he'd wear one like THIS:

Or perhaps this:

[JackRiddler]

89. Yes I want a RED tie damn it.

You can leave off the hammer and sickle.

[Cheese Sandwich]

95. CNN now using the tie in promotional materials
