My compliments to Nikki Haley's stylist [View all]

I know some of you will say this is a frivolous or even sexist post. But in our very visual culture, presentation matters. It matters even more to a female candidate who will be judged very harshly by both men and women. We may not like it ( I don't, and I'm female) but it is what is. I can't relate to people who judge others by their phone or their car or their house or whatever. Doesn't mean people (voters) don't do that.

Haley is always dressed impeccably. That is not easy to do. She has to look "good" but not that good, She can't look too flashy, but she has to look stylish. Her clothes have to flatter her and be comfortable for long days of campaigning. In Iowa and New Hampshire she wore very interesting and stylish sweaters and jeans or casual pants without looking sloppy. She looked attractive, but not like she was seeking attention.

Although I know that many of you (let's face it, most of you) don't care at all, this attribute will help her with suburban women and maga men alike if she ever actually got the nomination. That's one reason I don't want her to win.
