Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumVOTE for the MOST ATTRACTIVE FIRST COUPLE.
Let's face it. When we elect one of these candidates to the White House in November, we will be guaranteed to see a lot of them (both) for the next four (or more) years. Whom would you rather see (and I'm talking about visual and emotional appeal, here) representing you and the United States both in person and on television around the globe?
Note: I seriously tried to find good pictures of all our candidates and their significant others.
1. Joe and Jill Biden
2. Bernie and Jane Sanders
3. Michael Bloomberg and potential First Girlfriend Diana Taylor
4. Elizabeth Warren and Bruce Mann
5. Andrew and Evelyn Yang
6. Amy Klobuchar and John Bessler
7. Pete and Chasten Buttigieg
8. Tom Steyer and Kat Taylor
9. Tulsi Gabbard and Abraham Williams
Well? What do you think?

(42,862 posts)... after having a lesbian-soft-porn, faux-nudie-Bond-girl, plumped, stuffed, tucked, siliconed, shaved, waxed F"L"OTUS, it will be a nice change to have someone in that role of whom I can be proud and someone that represents my values as well. But, I don't want that person (whoever he or she may be) to be a slob either. Someone who take care of their appearance... someone who is well-groomed and somewhat fit, somewhat stylish (but also conservative and appropriate), someone who looks nice in evening gowns or a sharp tuxedo (and isn't someone who shuns those things as "trappings of the elite" .

Laelth
(32,017 posts)If so, I have to admit that I have a soft spot for her. The rest of the Trump gang (Don Jr., Ivanka, and Jared) are despicable, but I find it difficult to be disdainful of Melania.
Did I misunderstand you?

Rorey
(8,445 posts)Cuz the one I know of is every bit as despicable as those others you mentioned. She chose the life she has. She chooses to continue to be part of that disgusting family. I have nothing but disdain for her.

(8,445 posts)NOT someone who thinks she's a fashion icon and generally sticks out like a sore thumb.

(32,017 posts)Obviously, you should vote your heart in the primaries and vote for the party in the general, but appearances do matter. I am curious to know what Democrats think about "the look" of our potential Democratic first couples.
What do you think?

(16,616 posts)I voted for them.
I didn't really take this poll as being about "attractiveness". I was more interested in how they related to each other. Or more likely, I'm bored and anxious. Please forgive me for participating.

(55,014 posts)way better than the plastic mail order porn wife and the gross orange combover
but looks ain't what this is about.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
Laelth
(32,017 posts)Is she fake? Yes. Has she represented the United States well as the First Lady? Yes, I think she has. Is she a decent person (unlike Don Jr., Ivanka, and Jared)? Yes. I think so, but these are just my opinions.
-Laelth
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
Kali
(55,014 posts)she is a grifter like the rest of them, a dishonest liar. don't fall for the bullshit, she is a VERY willing accomplice
represent the US?
she may look a hair better when she is standing next to him, but on her own she is just a vacuous scammer.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
Still, I have this sense that she has reined in the Great Pumpkin (just a little bit) and prevented even greater damage to the people of the United States. Perhaps I am wrong in this assessment, but she has carried herself well, and with grace, as First Lady.
-Laelth
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

(8,445 posts)She's an enabler, and a poor role model.
Worst representation in quite a few decades.

(297,323 posts)wasn't born in the USA in 2011.
She's as fake as trump. Then there's her "I Really Don't Care, Do you?" jacket she wore to the Border to view the kids in cages. And, her Fake Gaslighting "Bully" campaign when she's married to the biggest Bully on the Planet.

Polybius
(15,447 posts)That is one good looking couple. I find her stunning.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
I am still convinced that she would be better placed on the cover of a fashion magazine than in the White House.

(2,706 posts)It was between Yang and Gabbard
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
Laelth
(32,017 posts)That Yang picture is just too good. I couldn't find equivalents for the other candidates. Admittedly, Gabbard and Abraham are the prettiest people, and they have a great photograph (above). They belong on the cover of a fashion magazine, but the real love is in the Yang photo ... imo.
Thank you for the response.

(32,017 posts)Nearly all of the Democrats above appear loving in their pictures with their significant others. Compare the Democrats to THIS, and this is not uncommon if you do a search for pictures of the President and his wife, Melania.
