Hillary Clinton is on a road trip to Iowa, and like all people on a road trip eager to show the world that they are just a regular person, she stopped at Chipotle for lunch.
Clinton ordered a chicken burrito bowl with guacamole at an outpost of the fast-casual empire in Maumee, Ohio. "She got great food," the restaurant's manager told ABC News. "Everybody loves Chipotle.”
Twitter had many thoughts on this important development in the 2016 race. If anyone had any doubts about her candidacy, this would have dispelled them. Going to Chipotle is now a crucial part of the presidential nomination process, as Mitt Romney and Barack Obama proved in 2012.
Why do people seem more obsessed with politicians going to Chipotle than other fast-food places? Is it because it makes them seem strangely hip? Is it because it shows that they are as beholden to the guacamole and naturally raised meat as those they hope to lead? The world may never know. But there's no doubt that people seem to be as excited about Clinton's burrito craving as the guy who stood next to Mitt Romney during his Chipotle visit in the last election cycle.
Chipotle is pretty tasty, but whenever I eat there, within an hour, I feel as if I ate a boat anchor!

I love Mexican food, but I don’t love Chipotle at all. In fact, I don’t get the whole Chipotle thing. People in my office do love it, so I have begrudgingly eaten there many times. To me it’s just okay. In my mind the only thing that distinguishes it from all the other fresh Mexican places is its nondescript industrial atmosphere. I don’t hate it, but I certainly don’t understand the hype it engenders among so many people.
Ha ha. That will probably be the lowest number of posts about here from now until about eight years from now.
Everything this woman does is staged. Her career in public service should have been squashed after being fired for lying during serving as Watergate counsel.
I agree.
Let’s talk about a much more interesting woman...Astrud;)

Kind of fitting, hillary is enough for people to crap blood, and she likes a food that makes you crap blood.
Another reason not to eat there.
I agree! Yet...here you and I are on a thread about her.
The mass cultural obsession with utterly trivial nonsense -- like politicians eating at a particular fast food joint -- is yet another indication of the utter shallowness of modern society.
It is expensive and one can make their own little Chipotle at home for less. I try to get a job there but they didn’t hire me. I rather make my own authentic Mexican Food.
Huma Weiner is along! Didn’t know this was a pleasure trip.
Ate there once. Once was enough.
One thing worse than a mental image of PIAPS: A mental image of a flatulent PIAPS.
what did the Hummer get? is she schlepping the kid along with them???
