What Will You Be Wearing to History on Tuesday?

[Tortmaster]

When History is made on Tuesday, after the polls close in New Jersey, and Secretary Clinton is recognized by the media as the Democratic Party nominee for President of the United States of America--the first female nominee for President of a major American political party--what will you wear to History?

I will be wearing a comfortable shoe, probably sneakers or hiking boots. (I could never wear flip-flops or sandals because that little piece of rubber or leather separating the Big Toe from his friends always felt weird to me.). I will have on shorts and a t-shirt, socks and clean underwear.

I would wear pearls, but I'm a guy, and I don't own any. I guess I could borrow a tasteful string for the occasion.

More importantly, I guess, is what will you be drinking to celebrate this Historic Event? Beer? Wine? Some manner of hard liquor? I'm not much of a drinker, but I do have some cooking wine and will probably break it out for a toast to our strong, hard-working, intelligent fighter!

Cheers to us!

[GreatGazoo]

1. I will be dressed as a giant calendar page that says "July 25"

[litlbilly]

4. they just keep trying dont they?

[GreatGazoo]

8. Yes and "the media" declared the winner along time ago and repeats it every day so why would Tues be

any different.

Meanwhile back in reality...

[Tortmaster]

7. Does the Clinton campaign website ...

... sell a #NeverTrump t-shirt? I would love one of those, if available. The HRC baseball caps are very cool. Got to get my Hillary swag going!

[Aerows]

127. Actually, don't wear clothing or other paraphenalia

to the voting booth with your candidate's slogan. It breaches anti-electioneering laws.

Nobody needs to give anyone an opportunity to be disqualified from voting, and that's a big no-no.

[MFM008]

55. You will still be wearing it

In 2018...Right? Right?....

[grossproffit]

2. A huge smile. I couldn't be more excited. WOOHOO!

[Tortmaster]

13. I forgot the absolute ...

... must-have accessory for Tuesday. D'oh! Thanks for reminding me that a "huge smile" goes well with any outfit, on any occasion!

[big_dog]

34. #allinforhillary

[grossproffit]

36. Beautiful photo. Thank you so much for posting this.

[Tortmaster]

42. She's from ...

... the future.

[Democrats Ascendant]

53. That was my first thought!

[Tortmaster]

3. #ImwithHer

After seven years of being spoiled by having Barack Obama as President, I want more of the same with Secretary Clinton.

[Matt_R]

63. So did her baggage bother you in 2008...

or does it not bother you in 2016.

[Tortmaster]

88. She doesn't have baggage ...

... except for faux conspiracy theories and RWTPs. I voted and campaigned for Senator Obama because I lived in Illinois at the time and knew how incredibly special he was. While I was watching, intently, the race for Illinois' Senate seat, it dawned on me that one of the two, Obama or Ryan, would one day be President.

Secretary Clinton won me over with her gracious speech at the 2008 DNC, her excellent work as SOS, and after reading and watching her speeches. After going through 2008, I already knew she had a formidable intelligence and was a fearsome debater.

[Matt_R]

90. Great your not one of the 2008 flip floppers, as seen here...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5537733

[Scootaloo]

105. So... she's perfect? And all her problems are the imaginings of lesser people?

[MFM008]

103. if there's baggage

its stuffed full of republican bull &^&%$.

[Tortmaster]

113. Exactly.

MFM008, I will give really young people the benefit of the doubt, but anyone 25 years or older should know that that's the Republican con--they go with ginned-up scandals. I say 25 years because anyone that old has lived as an adult through the GOP trying everything to get at President Obama, from birtherism to Acorn to the purchase of his home in Illinois to the IRS picking on conservative groups to Fast and Furious to Benghazi to Solyndra and on and on.

That's all they got. Seems, unfortunately, to be all Senator Sanders' supporters have as well. Cheers!

[restorefreedom]

5. same as i would any tuesday. nothing special about this one.

despite the corporate media trying to make it something it is not.

[Tortmaster]

9. I'm sad that you're sad.

But I'll get over it ... with cooking wine!

[restorefreedom]

18. i am not sad at all. the fight continues to the convention.

and a bernie win in cali is gonna be real nice....

sadz? no way!

[NV Whino]

20. Oh please, do drink the cooking wine.

Let us know the results.

[Hortensis]

6. Just got back and Mother Nature is still going crazy,

so I'll be out a good part of the day in old jeans, t-shirt and tennies, with the radio tuned to the election results.

[Tortmaster]

10. Cheers to you, Hortensis!

I'm going with "comfortable" as well. Here's hoping your weather plays nice with you.

[Hortensis]

17. Forgot the drink. At some point a tall glass

of my coolest summer cooler, vodka and water over ice, no mint or lemon needed. Reportedly Hillary likes vodka martinis, but we're out of vermouth. Cheers to all of us.

[Tortmaster]

43. Thanks, Hortensis!

Have fun!

[Democrats Ascendant]

56. She's also good for a pint of dark beer.

That's why she's my soulmate and got my vote

[Tortmaster]

59. Never did get into dark beers,

but many of my friends love'em! Cheers!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. The outfit the occasion warrants.

That would be my raggedy old sweat pants and equally raggedy t-shirt.

[HubertHeaver]

71. I was thinking the occasion would warrant a barrel.

[brooklynite]

12. I'll be wearing my Hillary 2008 Precinct Captain (Nevada Caucus) shirt...

...to the victory party at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

[Tortmaster]

14. This is me being ...

... envious: Haha!

[joshcryer]

92. Do you know if Obama will be there?

Last edited Mon Jun 6, 2016, 02:22 AM - Edit history (1)

I saw he's doing a fundraiser in NY on Wednesday.

Would be cool if he came out to introduce her.

[Tortmaster]

95. I heard that he was in ...

... New York that day as well. It would be cool if he introduced her on Tuesday, but for best effect, I would save the introduction for July 25, 2016, making it a nomination speech for the ages.

I think that that would be incredibly powerful, and I wouldn't want to dilute it. Cheers on you, joshcryer!

[joshcryer]

98. This would be the only event he could pull a surprise.

Both Clinton's and Obama have SS details. Obama can't go anywhere without making a scene. So he could go here because of all the SS being around for the finality of the primary. But the tweet I saw days he'd be there Wednesday, not Tuesday, not sure if he'd be there in time anyway.

[Tortmaster]

100. Gotcha!

[floppyboo]

15. pyjamas! It's going to be a late night

Hot chocolate with whisky maybe. Then a big bowl of weed and deep sleep till July

[Tortmaster]

23. Very nice setup you got there!

[BlueStater]

16. History was also made in 1979.

That was the year Margaret Thatcher became the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. And she was terrible and many people wish she had never held that office.

To hell with identity politics.

[Tortmaster]

21. The whiffs of anti-PC and misogyny.

They are unbecoming a supporter of Senator Sanders. You should try to do better. If breaking glass ceilings mean nothing to you, why do you post on a Democratic website? We celebrate that stuff!

By the way, the contra example would be: Why would anybody want to elect another white, male empty suit like George W. Bush?

[BlueStater]

25. You do what you want.

I'm not about to celebrate a terrible candidate being nominated just because she has a vagina instead of a penis.

[Tortmaster]

30. And I'd never vote for ...

... an empty suit just because he was a man. Have you read Senator Sanders' interview with the Editorial Board of The New York Daily News? The man is clueless.

I knew this well before that when I watched one of his first interviews with Wolf Blitzer on CNN. During the interview, Sanders was asked how he would get his secondary education plans past a divided Congress. He said--and I shit you not--that he would have "a million" or so "young people" march on Washington!

That was his plan.

[Tortmaster]

101. Also wanted to note that ...

... many countries in Europe and around the world have already had female heads of state. As paternalistic as India is, they had a female HoS decades ago.

Israel's first female Prime Minister, Golda Meier, actually lived in Milwaukee at a time when women in the United States couldn't vote.

That blows my mind.

[Demsrule86]

26. Identity politics

Now where have I heard those words...I remember now Fox New...I think it was Sean Hannity...ah it could have been any of them...it is a right-wing meme.

[BlueStater]

32. I don't really give a shit where it originated, frankly.

It perfectly sums up what I see from many of the Anointed One's supporters. I always cringe when I see Hillary Clinton being female as a valid reason to support her. I vote on a candidate's policy, not their genitalia.

[Tortmaster]

49. Haha! To support your ...

... Anti-Democratic beliefs against milestones and making Civil Rights history, you throw in some anti-PC. You will find a lot of support for those positions on Fox News and AM radio, my friend.

By the way, have you read or listened to Senator Sanders' interview with the Editorial Board of The New York Daily News? How could you support anyone, man or woman, that clueless? Why would you back somebody so uninterested in his only talking points that he failed to do any homework?

Seriously, he sounded like a city version of one of the characters from Green Acres. Your vote, and our country, deserve better.

[BlueStater]

61. I'm not your friend.

And if all you have to defend your candidate is to accuse her critics of being sexist, then you have absolutely nothing. You wanna know what's really clueless? Voting for a war based on lies that gets thousands of people killed for absolutely no reason and refusing to admit it was a mistake for years afterward. Maybe you just want to sweep that under the rug like it's no big deal, but not me.

[Tortmaster]

79. You are my friend if I say you are.

Besides being clueless like a character from Green Acres--watch Sanders' New York Daily News interview--he has also been instrumental in supporting the gun culture in America. If you want to count dead bodies, the wounded, and hospital vigils, I would suggest you consider the 15 million Americans killed or wounded by guns since the first of Senator Sanders' 15 pro-NRA votes, my friend.

And the rest of your argument is a strawman. I have many reasons for voting for Secretary Clinton. Fifteen million reasons is just a start.

[Demsrule86]

118. Great reply I am in completely agrement. nt

[aikoaiko]

128. Which one of those NRA votes led to a dead body?

Connect the dots.

[Demsrule86]

117. So women who support Hillary

are vagina voters...is that your point? I hope your candidate is worth such a betrayal of all the women in your life. That is exactly what I am talking about...the condescending dismissal of any woman's support of Hillary as vagina politics...while real men such as yourself go for Sanders...because let's face it you boys know best...what women should think or feel about any issue. Why thanks so much! How could we ever manage without your invaluable 'help'. Our lady parts, why they just make us completely incapable of running our own lives and picking a candidate that we like. I am sure you and Bernie will make every effort to save us from our rogue lady parts...regards

Terry

[BlueStater]

125. You're the ones who keep talking about gender.

You're childish and a waste of time. It's clear that your gimmick is to keep accusing me of being a sexist even though I've said absolutely nothing remotely of the sort so I'm not going to play along. Find another stooge.

[Tortmaster]

35. Exactly, Demsrule86.

From the start of the Sanders campaign I've constantly wrinkled my nose at the anti-PC and misogynistic whiffs wafting from Sanders' supporters and his campaign.

Sanders, himself, seems to believe a couple extra dollars an hour (that he couldn't get anyway) would end racism, misogyny and bigotry forever and ever.

[Demsrule86]

115. I am in complete

agreement. I have been enraged by Bernies disregard of women's issues which are really human issues like abortion rights and equal pay for women...he called abortion rights a distraction. He never mentions it in his speeches. And the way he has treated, Hillary is disgusting...no man would have had to put up with Sanders.

[sister_rosa_refried]

19. A tarp ...

Because heads will be exploding in here.

[Tortmaster]

24. Gross.

But funny!

[floppyboo]

27. *snort*

[NurseJackie]

22. June Clever pearls.

[grasswire]

29. who is June Clever? nt

[chillfactor]

28. I will be wearing comfortable sweats, a T-shirt, and sneakers...

I vote in New Mexico..our 27 delegates will almost put Hillary over....I can hardly wait to vote for Hillary on Tuesday! She has strong support here....projected to win by 53%.

[Tortmaster]

39. Holy schnikes!

That's a landslide! I voted for Secretary Clinton down here in South Carolina, and she won it by a landslide. I was determined to vote anyway because I wanted to be a teeny-tiny part of history.

I cherish my votes for President Obama, and I think Secretary Clinton will work just as hard as he did, even to just be a great role model. (i.e. the Jackie Robinson effect). Cheers to you!

[redkwamya]

31. I will be joining the Brooklyn poll watching party

Let's hear that ROAR everyone! First major party female nominee in the history of the USA. I can hear that giant cracking sound in the glass ceiling. Let's bring it down New Jersey and California - do it right!!!!

[Tortmaster]

44. Haha! That is very cool, redkwamya!

Wish I could be there, too!

[RoccoR5955]

33. I'll be wearing my worker's ball and chain

Along with an empty wallet, because when Hilliary is declared the candidate and runs against Drumpf, I will still have them after the election. The only exceptions are that I will have to work more for less money, and pay more for my health insurance, because Hilliary wants to give more to them, and Drumpf wants to let them take over. So I will still be chained to the job, and my wallet will be emptier.
If it comes down to Hilliary or Drumpf, we are ALL screwed.

You might want to sell those pearls while you can, to some rich establishment figure, and the same with you wine. You'll be lucky to get an "America" beer, after they make us more broke than we already are.

[Tortmaster]

40. So, you didn't think ...

... you'd need to work if Senator Sanders was elected. I get it.

[RoccoR5955]

114. No.

but I do think that my Social Security will be protected, and the minimum wage will go up to a living wage, and the banks will be reined in if Sanders is elected.

[Lazy Daisy]

37. I'll be dressed in black

The appropriate color to wear for mourning the death morals and values in this country

[rock]

38. Since it's my birthday, my birthday suit

Wait -- That doesn't sound right. Nobody wants that!

[Tortmaster]

46. Only you can wear your birthday suit!

[rock]

48. I never thought about it

You learn something new every day on DU! Thanks!

[mainstreetonce]

41. A new blue pants suit

Pantsuits for all
Hill yes!

[Tortmaster]

47. #ImwithHer

#NeverTrump

And I'm with you!

[basselope]

45. I'll be laughing at anyone who thinks it is over.

[Tortmaster]

50. I will wait until you're done laughing, ...

... and then I will laugh.

[basselope]

51. Glad you think President Trump is funny.

[Tortmaster]

57. #NeverTrump is where it's at, brother.

Seriously, you need to read or watch Senator Sanders' interview with the Editorial Board of The New York Daily News. We dodged a bullet. He reminded me of a city version of one of the characters from Green Acres. Or that Don Knotts character from Three's Company.

Not Presidential timbre, and speaking of Trump....

[basselope]

68. It's cute how you think that mattes.

Clinton won't win.

Guaranteed. She has no path.

[Tortmaster]

72. Haha!

That's fucking hilarious! You are a comedian! My prediction is a wave election that nets for Democrats the Supreme Court for a generation, the Senate and the House. The latter depends on a good running mate like Julian Castro, Joaquin Castro, or Tom Perez to engender optimal enthusiasm among Hispanics and youth.

It depends on how confident Secretary Clinton feels. Even with the safe bets, Brown, Kaine or Biden, it would be an electoral map landslide of 2008-Obama-like proportions. Just my opinion, but book it!

[basselope]

86. LMAO!!!

I've never been wrong in a presidential prediction.

Not once.

Clinton has no path.

[Democrats Ascendant]

52. I'll be drinking out my liquor cabinet, so there's a good chance that...

I won't be wearing much of anything by the time the party's over

[Tortmaster]

66. I can keep and store bottles ...

... of liquor in a cabinet specially made for that purpose? You have opened up whole new worlds to me! Sounds like you're gonna have a great time. Be sure to post pictures while you're still drunk!

[Democrats Ascendant]

67. Oh no. No. Never again. No paparazzi!

And yes: a cabinet just for booze. (Actually, it's my pantry....)

[Tortmaster]

74. Haha!

😄

[mac56]

58. Something fashionably made in a foreign sweatshop

getting ready for no other choices once TPP kicks in.

[Tortmaster]

69. You do realize the following:

(1) Secretary Clinton came out against the TPP deal, and (2) it is actually cheaper to manufacture goods in the United States now than in the average factory of our trading partners?

As for number two, above, it was much, much cheaper to manufacture elsewhere in the 1990s and early 2000s. Look it up. You won't have to feel so dour on this Historic occasion.

[HubertHeaver]

77. She came out against it "in its present form." That means

she will dot a tee, cross an I and declare it holy.

[Tortmaster]

89. How do you know a TPP deal,

re-worked, would be? Be specific. It is cheaper to manufacture in the United States, comparatively speaking, than it was in the 1990s (think cheap natural gas). Also, if you claim that the arbitration provisions will be THE DEATH OF DEMOCRACY like Senator Sanders claims, then I know that you, like him, have not done your homework.

The US is 13-0 in arbitration matters under NAFTA. That's a fact. And if you look up the old WTO and GATT arbitrations, you'll find that they didn't end Democracy. In fact, some of the matters are 30-years old because the United States doesn't have to abide by any ruling, or it can offer a compromise (i.e. 20% off each pallet of widgets).

The environmental benefits (over-fishing and deforrestation provisions, among others) of the TPP would be lost because we'd have no other leverage, and, finally, there's the potential of ceding these emerging markets to China.

I don't know if the TPP would be good or bad. If you claim that you do, you are not credible.

The important thing to do is to penalize and tax American companies that off-shore jobs. I think Secretary Clinton and President Obama understand that. I know that Senator Sanders is off in left field on the issue of the TPP. I have read his statements on the subject, and they are childish, as in something I would expect as homework from a not-completely-unintelligent junior high school student.

[SwampG8r]

116. If a big check goes to the foundation she will support it again.

What she means is rivht now there isnt anything in it for her personally to.profit from
When the checks clear.she will.sign on to it

[mac56]

83. She was for it before she was against it.

Are these union shops? Never mind, I know the answer.

So happy you're enjoying your role as Pollyanna the Glad Girl.

[postatomic]

60. Let's see; that would be Toasted Tuesday

I'm going with Boxer Shorts and a Smile.

[Tortmaster]

75. No teasing.

We must have pictures!

[upaloopa]

78. I might not be wearing anything but a smile if it is in the 100's here in CA. But it won't be a

pretty sight.

[Tortmaster]

96. You're teasing!

That obliges you to post pictures!

#NominationNitePICS

[redstateblues]

62. My Atlanta Braves 1995 World Series t-shirt

With a vodka soda and lime in hand. I don't get to wear it much these days

[Tortmaster]

99. I get it. You save it for ...

... very special occasions. I have a T-ball coach's t-shirt that gets the same treatment from me, redstateblues.

P.S. I haven't posted here much over the last couple of years--I've been at daily kos--but I've seen and appreciated your input around here.

[Matt_R]

64. WOO, throwing California under the Clinton bus a little to soon eh...

[Tortmaster]

104. Sometimes there's no Game Seven,

in the home arena/stadium, even if you had bought tickets for it. Sometimes the series is over in four, five or six games.

[MohRokTah]

65. A Hillary 2016 T-shirt! eom

[Tortmaster]

94. Awesome!

I'm sure you'll be styling, MohRakTah!

[LenaBaby61]

70. Me and my 2 nieces who are here visiting from Louisiana....

Will be wearing these Hillary 2016 tees with our Blue Jeans...



And eating Veggie Pizza, home made Snicker doodles and drinking Sparkling Apple Cider, amongst other delicious vegetarian delights....

[Tortmaster]

102. Wow! You must be an event planner, LenaBaby61.

Love the t-shirts. Very fashionista!

[k8conant]

73. Cinnamon and sugar on July 25th

according to Bill Clinton.

However, I'd prefer my New Found Glory T-shirt and jeans. (Is that ok to wear if I happen to get elected on June 11th as a WV delegate to the convention in Philadelphia?)

[Tortmaster]

106. Good luck on your election!

Sounds like you have excellent options. We need #NominationNitePICS.

[NanceGreggs]

76. I'll be wearing ...

... a BIG FAT SMILE, and will treat myself to a few gin-and-tonics.

[Tortmaster]

108. We've earned the smiles and ...

... the libations of our choosing!

[BillZBubb]

80. Historic indeed! The first major party nominee under criminal investigation by the FBI!!!!!

I think stripes and handcuffs would be the appropriate dress.

[mac56]

84. Orange is the new stripes.

[Tortmaster]

110. Welcome to RedState!

Please leave your guns--all of them--and your brains with the doorman.

[UMTerp01]

81. My Ralph Lauren Best at my victory party

My partner and I are throwing a victory party at our house on Tuesday. I will be in my Ralph Lauren best. Thinking of this...

[Tortmaster]

109. Tres chic!

You're encouraging me to dress up. And doing an excellent job of it!

[peace13]

82. I will be wearing my integrity.

[merrily]

85. A Bernie shirt and the same thing I always drink--filtered water.

Of course, I voted in Massachusetts on Super Tuesday and I would not wear a Bernie shirt to the polling place lest I offend Bill.

[Brother Buzz]

87. The SF Giants will be hosting the Boston Red Sox Tue night

I'll be wearing the same old shorts I put on in the morning, and She Who Must be Obeyed, the Boston transplant, will be wearing one red sock and one orange sock; she's conflicted.

Go Giants!

[Tortmaster]

112. Haha! It takes years to fully ...

... cross over. I still wear my Illini colors in South Carolina. People accuse me of supporting Clemson! The Horror!

Cheers to you, and have fun at the game!

[nadinbrzezinski]

91. Working and I have returns to report

this is not the only race that counts, and some of my local issues will make a more direct impact to people's lives. That is the brutal truth. Plus I will probably have to hunt for that speech again.

[KULawHawk]

93. What's so special about Tuesday?

Has the FBI announced a press conference?

[leftynyc]

120. Signed up just

to prove you're a sore loser. That's pathetic.

[Rex]

97. .

[Contrary1]

107. Same old crappy clothes I always wear...

I'm saving up for the coronation duds.

[Warren DeMontague]

111. Yay Booze! Meanwhile, Debbie Wasserman Schultz supports putting pot smokers in prison.

Which is sort of fucked up, if you ask me. Given that booze is significantly more hazardous to one's health.

[workinclasszero]

119. I'll be wearing comfortable clothes

And sipping vodka and diet cokes while I watch history being made.

[John Poet]

121. I will dress in funereal black

to mourn the death of the Democratic party.

[firebrand80]

122. Basketball shorts and a t-shirt

Typical evening lounge wear

[VulgarPoet]

123. My uniform, the reek of a hangover, and the silent prayers to every god and goddess I worship

that she doesn't haul off and kill more of my brothers and sisters in arms over the New Age Vietnam. I'll probably be holding my breath on that one till maybe her sixtieth day in office when she tries to get another troop surge authorized, but y'all don't give a damn about that, I've come to realize. Just keep putting more warheads on foreheads in places we invaded and clearly aren't welcome, right?

[MoonRiver]

124. A big smile!

[gopiscrap]

126. BLACK!!! for mourning

at the rigging of our electoral system. At the sorrow for such a corrupt campaign being waged under the Democratic banner. Bernie got screwed all year long.

[aikoaiko]

129. I will toast our strong, hard working, intelligent fighter - Bernie Sanders.

If he is still campaigning for votes I'll be helping him.j

[Sky Masterson]

130. Black

At the funeral of my present status as a Democrat.
Black for the lack of integrity of people I once respected like Maddow and most of the sellouts at MSNBC.
Black for the fact that we are giving Trump what he wants. A weak candidate that is a living GOTV machine for the Republicans.
The loss is going to piss so many off.
You reap what you sow.
