Do you say that a male candidate looks handsome?
No you don't.

(68,867 posts)I said...What a Handsome man!
Empower is a she....and since folks are being so very negative about everything and anything about Hillary on this forum,
Empower who supports Hillary said something positive.
I don't see an issue here!
Empowerer
(3,900 posts)If someone had posted a comment about a candidate I don't support looking handsome or pretty, I would just ignore it - I couldn't imagine jumping into the thread to whine and attack.
The vitriol here is pathetic. I really feel sorry for people filled with such hate and anger. It must make their daily lives miserable.

(3,900 posts)But giving someone a compliment should not provoke such an ugly response. But I shouldn't be surprised. DU has become one of the nastiest political sites on the web.
I feel sorry for these mean, petty people - they must be miserable.

(3,900 posts)What difference should it make to you whether or not I think she looks beautiful? If you don't agree, why not just skip past the thread rather than jump in and bitch and moan?

(7,010 posts)I will probably be alerted thar seems to be the response for everything around here. I never alert anyone. Alerted should be rare.

(15,512 posts)Gotta say that compared to her 2008 look she got it really right this time ...
What a difference from 2008! Not only did she take a drubbing in Iowa, but Edwards (with 15% in the polls) then dropped out, giving room for Obama's surge. Not so this go round.

(3,900 posts)That is not the same as saying that "it's all about looks."
You people are a trip - you can't even stomach a simple compliment about a person you hate. If it's so difficult to handle seeing someone making a completely innocuous observation about a candidate, maybe you should stay out of this thread. You're much too sensitive to handle it.

But I did think Hillary looked nice. I don't vote based on how someone looks but I don't think there's anything wrong with someone saying someone looks nice.

(68,867 posts)No one cares about what you think she "looks like"...
The nastiness is seriously over the top!
Whatever Bernie Sanders does that's good,
some of y'all make him look bad.

See the difference.
So want me to talk about her "looks?"
Really?
FrenchieCat
(68,867 posts)and since you are a Bernie supporters,
you won't have any problems with doing just that!

(3,900 posts)Your prerogative, as petty as it is.
On the other hand, I prefer to post positive things about her, if only to counter-balance the vicious, ugly things that are said about her at every turn.
Obviously, reading anything positive about Secretary Clinton is too much for the "Feel the Bern" crowd to handle. It must be awful to be so filled with hate.

(65,488 posts)the soft tie front looked more striking than some of the other jackets she wears.
I do like though that she long ago adopted a practical, comfortable signature style (her famous pantsuits) and basically told all the nitpicking style critics to stuff it. If I could afford it, I would have a wardrobe of pantsuits like hers, too.
