And now for trivia. I really liked Joe's tie. Unusual. I wonder if someone put...

... a lot of thought into it. Do you have thoughts?

1. I liked it. Joe is a sharp dresser.

2. My Dad had one that was very similar

I thought he looked buttoned up and dashing.

3. I noticed that, too!

He looked exceptionally classy. It was nice not to see the expected blue tie & it was an especially good choice contrasted to the Con's tie which was navy blue with red stripes.

5. My son, who worked at Jos A Bank before their layoffs, said he found the ties distracting.

He said a break from the stripes or plain ties that all politicians seem to wear would have been refreshing and not as harsh. He said he thought it was how the contrast of the stripes displayed, especially in mid-range shots.

4. I envy Joe both his car and his wardrobe.

This is a bit of a sensitive topic for me. I will pass.

6. If you're going to spring for one or the other, go for the wardrobe.

You don't have to fuel or insure a wardrobe.

9. Good point, but I don't think he's offering.

Hell, I’d be tickled pink if he just offered me a job in the new administration.

I am patiently waiting by the phone.

8. I loved the tie, noticed it immediately

I pointed this out in a different thread but it bears repeating. At the beginning of the debate, the would occasionally pan to a shot from the side that showed both candidates in profile. Biden looked a sharp and put together while Trump looked massive, unkept, and was wearing an ill fitting suit. It was a striking contrast the few times they showed it.

10. I really thought it was good symbolism - black and white working together in harmony.

Of course, over in freeperville they criticized it as an 'unpatriotic tie'.
