In reply to the discussion: Has Bernie Sanders always listened to Barry Manilow? [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)'optics' were when Bernie first entered the race, are EXTREMELY important issues which can make or break a candidate??
This is why I don't think Trump can possibly win, it will be the hair in the end.
Now we are looking at their taste in music.
Even if it turns out to be true that Bernie DOES love Barry Manilow, so long as he stays FAR, FAR away from the Kardashians, I am willing to overlook it.
THAT would be the final straw for me!
You know something? People may find this to be irrelevant, but then, we have to look at who candidates allow themselves to be photographed with. Their advisers no doubt calculating how many votes they might get depending on the popularity of the 'star'.
Low info voters apparently can be attracted to a candidate by something like these inane 'issues'.
How sad is that?
