Commenting on a candidate's appearance
mercredi 3 septembre 2014 à 14:00Commenting on a female candidate's appearance, whether positively or negatively or neutrally, tends to harm the candidate's success in the race. Pointing out that this is a side issue, and what matters is the candidate's politics, cancels out that effect.
In this context, it is interesting to note the way other senators commented disparagingly on the appearance of Senator Gillibrand.
