The last U.S. President who had a full beard was Republican Benjamin Harrison who was the President from 1889 to 1893.

My fear is that as soon as a professional politician is President again, America will just revert back to its old ways and all the hard work and everything accomplished will be for naught.

Big Mike was definitely a “full beard.”

Vance looks better with the beard. Without it, his face is too round. His wife told him to keep the beard, and she was right.

How he keeps his appearance is his business. Also, if his wife likes it. If one doesn’t like his beard, they shouldn’t stare.

The last time I shaved was in 1979, so I am okay with a fellow Brother of the Beard. Nobody who has come into my life since then, including my wife and children, knows what I look like without a beard. Those who have been in my life since before the beard probably don’t remember. For a while when I was younger I had a Rutherford B. Hayes thing going, but now it’s more like a Hemingway. I look better with it, and I think Vance does, too.

Mark my words: He will sculpt it to Mutton Chops for the 2028 election, putting him over the edge for victory and starting an overdue trend in men’s fashion.

I’d like to see a woman POTUS in my lifetime... Why?

Your question deserves an answer.

The comment was not a pretentious warm fuzzy politically correct comment.

Simple really.

I have learned a lot from women in my lifetime.

The greatest teachers that I ever had were women.

My first grade teacher, my fourth grade teacher, my HS Latin teacher, and my college history teacher who was my advisor had almost as great a positive impact on me as my parents and grandparents had.

I RATHER LIKE HIS LOOK.

A LONG FULL BEARD -—NO, but he is well groomed.

Thank you for that answer. The office of the President seems to be doled out mostly because it is merely “someone’s turn”. Trump is the exception in a long line; and, that is why the political animals hate him so much. I was worried that you were operating on the traditional method.

I’m hoping Vance really gets it internally and grows into the Trump successor we need. I’ve been enjoying his vigor recently.
