55. IMHO when you have a striking "weakness" you should make it a "thing"

Sun May 3, 2015, 03:16 PM

May 2015

Bernie's hair should be the new hip. It should be the REASON to vote for him for President. It should be the sign he is not the slick sociopath that somehow always manages to become a CEO. He is not that popular football player that bullies everybody in school.

I thought the same thing about Mark Dalton - "Eeyore for President!" would make a great slogan! I would vote for that! What have I ever gotten out of the slick Reagans and Bushes and Romneys of the world? What does helmet hair get me? A lying liar for President who is likely to try to distract everyone with "welfare queens" to wiggle out of responsibility for problems.

You know what? The guy who doesn't care about his looks actually cares about other people. And the time he spends not schmoozing is spent studying how to solve problems.

So Bernie should keep his distinctive wild hair and make it his TRADEMARK! Make it his BRAND! Make it the WAY OF THE SOCIAL-LEANING DEMOCRAT! His hair shows he gives zero fraks about what the fashion police of Rodeo Drive think, and he's ready to start practicing some serious legislative-fu.
