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!

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

I wish the whole family would move to Mars.

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.

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.

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.
