I vote based on people's looks and attire! /s

The dude can't even find clothes that fit in the Big & Tall section. Cut him some slack...or slacks.

He could definitely find clothes that fit him. It’s intentional.

He could but why? So you feel he looks more like a politician? What does that even mean, respecting the position? To me to respect the position means you do the job, nothing to do with what you where. It's absolutely ridiculous that his attire is such a debated topic. Does wearing a fitted suit make your legislation any better? Does it make it easier to get out in the community?

Saying its intentional is just cynical. If it equalled votes then others would be doing it, too. But others arent Johns size. He also lost the primary nomination in 2016 so if it was intentional and didn't work then, one would think he wouldnt keep doing it and instead he's starting to wear suits at times. He most likely will on the senate floor mostly just to keep all yinz not talking about it.

You said he couldn’t find clothes that fit. He certainly could. It’s really that simple.

I said he couldn't find clothes that fit in the Big & Tall section even. As in he can't find clothes that fit easily. Of course he can spend the money for a custom tailor. Why should he have to? You just want to hate on someone for any reason you can find. It's really that simple.

He can easily afford custom tailored suits. It is a well calculated presentation to make you think he is working class.

Not of a lot of people like wearing suits and I'm sure its especially uncomfortable for someone his size. I'm not in the business of telling someone how to dress or what to spend money on just because society thinks politicians should look neat and tidy as if all they can do is sit at a desk in an office and solve everything with paperwork. John gets involved. Working class doesn't wear shorts and a hoodie to work either.

Like all his factory visits, acting like he's "one of us".

I don't know about anyone else but my parents didn't support me til I was 49.
And actually I'm 50 and I am supporting my mother.

He's a freaking slob and I'll give him props for conning the idiots into thinking he's some sort of working class stiff.
