If you voted for Trump because he’s ‘anti-establishment,’ guess what: You got conned

It's really a disparity between business attire. With men, it's extremely standardized -- we all wear suits, shirts, and ties. If you're in politics, you wear gray or blue suits with black shoes, often with a blue or red tie. It looks normal and expected.

Women have many more options to look professional, but with that comes more judgment. With the freedom to look unique comes the analysis -- just look at John Oliver's earlier style. That shirt draws the eye because it's extremely unusual.

It's not impossible that there's some element of sexism to it, but honestly... she still chooses to dress that way, and it was weird when she marches out in ENTIRELY bright red or stark white. I've never seen anybody dress like that.

Now, that absolutely shouldn't matter. An enlightened and progressive audience shouldn't care that much how someone dresses, when policies and attitude are so much more important. I also don't want to "victim blame", so to speak, because Hillary should be allowed to wear what she wants... but at the same time, if you're trying to appeal to 350 million people, most of whom are normal everyday people, you probably don't want to dress like a sci-fi intergalactic pope.
