It's creepy, scary, and so obvious.

I'm disappointed in the Dems who went, too.

When I look at the clothes these people are wearing, I think that they call their designers, tell them "make me the ugliest thing you can possibly put on me," then when the initial sketches are returned they call the designers again to ask them to make it even worse.
