lights, in the daytime... she must REALLY hate mother earth to waste all that electricity

At her campaign opening rally on Roosevelt Island on Saturday, Hillary Clinton donned her now-signature look: a bright blue pantsuit with a matching bright blue shirt underneath.
Clothes are a political tool like any other. And that is why it was interesting to learn that the pantsuit she wore at her Roosevelt Island rally had been made by Ralph Lauren.
Yet there’s a possible weak spot. Because for a candidate who has been pushing her connection to, and understanding of, the middle class — and whose speech while wearing the pantsuit was largely about closing the income gap — Ralph Lauren is a relatively inaccessible brand. It is also one often worn by and beloved of that sector of the population, the chief executives and financial wizards, she somewhat disavowed.
But that’s me. And to be honest, I would not be surprised if, in the end, Ralph Lauren does become a Clinton wardrobe mainstay. If the campaign can avoid elitism charges, the brand will make her look confident, and absolutely convincing on the global stage.
According to a spokesman, the designer already works with the candidate “regularly.”

Ugh.

Ralph Lauren is NOT an inaccessible brand. They’re at Macy’s and are 2 to 3 hundred bucks. I’m sure her suits are better than the basic ones, but that’s life with more money. Do we really expect her to where $30 dockers?

These so full of crap Liberals talk and talk and talk about the "common folks" but don't know any nor care to sink to our socioeconomic level and see what it's like living under the rules they so cavalierly impose on us.
I not only despise Liberals, I hate them with a passion best reserved for a pervert who tries to molest our kith and kin. Liberals, and Liberalism, as far as I am concerned, is a malignancy, a cancer that is best excised and disposed of in a suitable medical waste incinerator.
Ralph Lauren clothes are highly overrated. Wear one of his sweaters once and the entire thing loses it’s shape becoming a baggy mess.
She’s the one claiming “I’m one of you”
Besides, she’s going to look horrible no matter if it cost $30 or $300
PIAPS
Ralph Lauren, huh? And she STILL looks like she’s off to paint the garage.
You can’t undo or conceal the frump factor...
When Mao ruled China, he made everyone wear pantsuits.
If Hillary becomes president, her example of wearing nothing but pantsuits would have a definite affect on the American fashion industry — a very negative one.
Who can really tell the difference between a Hillary-like yellow pantsuit sold at K-Mart for $20 and one made by Ralph Lauren for $2,000? They’d be interchangeable, and there would go the Ralph Lauren empire.
As for dresses, they’d still be popular with women who like being women more than following the latest (pantsuit) fads. Caitlyn Jenner, for example.
I was just going to post that same thought. It’s kind of strange to expect a presidential candidate to dress from Target.
Ralph Lauren has a haute couture line, signature line, etc., and even a line of clothing at Kohl’s. I imagine Hillary’s pantsuits are custom made for her, because otherwise I don’t think RL makes clothes big enough to stretch across her butt.
She wears pant suits because of her legs. She got raked over the coals for showing those piano stumps.
I don't think anyone here believes she wears $30 Dockers, but that's what she wants us to believe...
According to a spokesman, the designer already works with the candidate “regularly.”
Apparently it was specially made for her....,..to look identical to every other out of date, frumpy pantsuit she wears. The question is why bother to use a designer? Just hire someone to specifically make her one in every color.
Ralph Lauren has multiple lines for both men and women. Everything from the junk at Macy’s to Purple Label and Black label for men. Very nice.
