He’s doing what Teddy Roosevelt would have done:
Basically a Rough Rider, but with a necktie. "
The Teddy Bear Story
When Clinton got beaten by Huckabee in the Governor’s race in Arkansas, Hitlary, being the first lady of Arkansas, at the time drew a t lot of criticism on how she dressed, how her hair was, and on her behavior and habits. HEr behavior and habits were nonchalant. After that election, Hitlary decided to revamp her image and her style. She changed everything about her.
Some odd years ago, Teddy Roosevelt thought that fancy dress and the family name would propel him into politics one day. He was quite often made fun of, especially the rich clothes he wore, so he set out to change his image. He went to the local shops and bought his adventuring clothes then had pictures, proudly displayed in the NYT, taken of him in mock sets in a studio. One picture of him shows a dagger worth 800 dollars from a well-known retailer at the time. It was never used other than the day he took the picture with it. It wasn’t until good ole Teddy was forced to join the Army and what occurred during that time did Teddy get his moniker. Everyone tends to remember the Teddy Bear story, but few ever heard of his history before he joined the military. Teddy was not so much a rough rider until long after he joined up and like Hitlary, tried to change his image by rebranding himself before then.
