I hate to deflect the discussion but could someone explain to me what on earth “mom jeans” are??????????????????????????
Old lady here-—I thought jeans were just jeans. Period.

Mom jeans are a brand of jeans, I think.
Erickson has a good point. Trump has “trumped”, “upstaged”, and “eclipsed” all other candidates by making a broad generalization that will get everyone sifted to either helpful or harmful to the nation. Ann Coulter supports the nation and said, “Go, Trump. Go.” Michael Medved showed cowardice and said, “What a stupid thing for Trump to say.”
The term “mom jeans” refers to Obama’s first pitch as Yankee Stadium when he looked like a sissy and threw a baseball like a wimp.
I stand corrected. Just looked it up. It’s a term that refers to a style of jean that was popular in the late 80’s, early 90’s, that were popular with mothers. They were not designed to show off a woman’s figure, and were not particularly flattering.
It isn’t really applicable in 2015, but a decade or so ago, jeans for young people had been very low in the waistline. It was supposed to be hip and cool (when really it just showed everyone’s butt canyons). People’s “moms” still wore high waisted jeans from thirty years ago, so Obama was mocked for his high waisted, old style jeans early in his administration.
Now higher waisted jeans arethankfully coming back. I don’t really want to see everyone’s underwear and butt any more when they bend. Even plumbers wear overalls now.
