Clinton's Choice to Wear White at Debate Conveys Struggle of Suffragettes, Says Expert

Without saying any words, Hillary Clinton sent a message to voters the moment she walked onto the stage at Wednesday night's presidential debate in Las Vegas.

Or rather the Democratic presidential candidate's white Ralph Lauren pantsuit sent the message.

Clinton has worn Ralph Lauren's designs often since kicking off her campaign. For example, she wore a cobalt blue Ralph Lauren suit for the campaign's opening rally last year in New York City.

But it's her choice of color -- not designer -- that's significant.

"The choice of a white suit for Wednesday’s debate harkened back to the not-so-distant past, when suffragettes wore white to promote their struggle to gain the right to vote," Booth Moore, senior fashion editor for The Hollywood Reporter and Pret-a-Reporter, told ABC News moments after Clinton took to the debate stage at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Pretty rich coming from a woman who takes money from Saudi Arabia.

It is her Nurse Ratched costume minus the cap.

If the press has to explain the significance of her choice of clothing, then it’s not at all significant. A symbolic message must resonate and be immediately understood. Again, we see another Hillary failure.

And does anyone else remember the ration of excrement Nancy Reagan got from the enemedia over her wardrobe?

Green, white and purple were the colors of the Suffragette movement...both in the U.S. and the U.K. According to the National Woman’s History Museum, green white and purple were used mostly in New York State, along with the traditional color of gold in other parts of the country.

And not menstruating.

At her age I would hope not!

That would mean she would have the option of inflicting another of her spawn on this poor suffering world.

"I thought it represented a clean canvas on which he followers can look forward to soiling"

They could use some of the $hit her campaign bus dumped on the street.

I thought she looked like the white witch of Narnia!

Suffragettes didn’t wear white pantsuits. They also didn’t guzzle booze and murder babies. They helped one another and fought for decency. They would be appalled by Hillary and the things that the Democrat Party now stands for.

You have my permission to use it.

Frankly she reminded me of Dr. Evil or even better, Ernst Stavro Blofeld in Drag, all she needed was a cat with a diamond collar.

Looks like she recycled her Convention outfit:
