Joe Sixpack barely trusts these guys as it is, put a pocket square and a brown custom tailored suit on these guys and they don't make it out of Iowa.

as I understand it, most people that LISTENED to the debate thought Nixon won, those who WATCHED it thought Kennedy did.Big Man said:There are very strict rules (agreed upon by the candidates) during the debates that could (and probably do) prevent any one candidate from looking better than another (clothing-wise). The Kennedy/Nixon debate, first televised Presidential debate, would have been a great victory for JFK if for no other reason than he just plain looked better than Nixon. This was recognized, and now great pains are taken to make everyone "look the same".

When the election was over Nixon was seriously considering a challenge to the election [too many "Chicago" votes] Kennedy privately talked to Nixon and admitted that he was not sure which one of them had REALLY won but a challenge would tear the country apart and it would be best for the Nation to accept the defeat. Nixon agreed, probably leading to most if not all of the issues he had during his presidency. I will stop now for fear of really getting into politics. suffice to say [at least for me] at that time BOTH men, showed class.

You want democracy? You got it. There it is.
PADDY said:That if you want to look like a leader in this world, generally speaking you still have to dress like one, and that means 'jacket and tie!'
Sure I could jump on the bandwagon here and start criticising the cut of the cloth..etc, but let's look beyond that, these guys are flying the flag for 'the classic look.' It might not be perfect, but no one 'ever' gets it perfect for everyone. And when we see national teams dressing in shirt, tie, suits..etc, again it's all 'a small step forwards' in selling the image that classic look is classy cool!!
What it's also saying on the other side of the coin is that...Hoods, jeans, baseball caps, tee shirts, trainers..etc just do not cut it ladies and gents, when you want to look 'like somone on the global stage' and I think 'we' know that.
These guys (politicians, sports people..etc) are trying on the 'classic style' stakes, and let's give them credit for 'that' rather than taking cheap shots at them because they haven't gone the full hog and splashed out a few thousand on a little bespoke number from Manhattan or Saville Row...
