I'm sick of this. I find Bernie a very attractive man for his age. Why are people saying he isn't? He's better looking than John McCain or any other Republican in his age group and most Democrats if you think about it.

(11,417 posts)The problem is the electorate. I think they don't see him as presidential material.
On edit: I can't picture him sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office.

Fortunately, it's unlikely to be something I'll have to worry about.
If she wins the primary, and that's looking less and less likely each day, she'll surely lose the general.
The baggage to ideas ratio cannot be overcome, not even with a billion dollars.
People see through bullshit, the middle of america can't relate to her, and she doesn't relate to them.

(45,064 posts)pretend Bernies voice is grating . In just about any comparison with Hillary he comes off ahead. That must be terrifying to some.

I don't like looking at them at all.
I'm like, "Girl..."

(75,480 posts)true. He's a very attractive senior citizen and what he says is always of substance and educational. I like listening to him and he doesn't have a gravel voice. I mean compare him to Sherrod Brown. That is a gravel voice but not unpleasant to listen to either.

(9,126 posts)So far today we heard that "young people don't like him because he sounds like a grumpy grandpa" and "I can't imagine him sitting in the Oval Office." And you know what it says more about the person saying that than anything. I think it's time we treat serious problems seriously. I think Bernie is cool because he has integrity and cares. That makes him pretty good looking in my book!

(46,585 posts)NYC SKP posted an article and accompanying picture of Hillary in GD today and the ClintonFans lost their shit over it as if he committed a crime in posting it. She looks awful in some pictures because she sometimes look awful. It's as simple as that and not some heinous plot.
Nobody's got anything on Bernie. His "look" holds him in good company ...
