It’s been said that this is a different presidential cycle. In addition to the way the politics are playing out, there’s a shift in what candidates talk about–and what is off limits. For example:

On Limits

• The color orange of a candidate’s face, usually regarding fake tannng.
• The hair-do of a candidate. This could include comb-overs, fright wig looks or hairbands.
• The apparent sleepiness of a candidate.
• The amount of “energy” a candidate emits.
• How much a candidate spends on stuff for themselves and their families.
• How often a candidate goes to church and how they worship their gods.
• The weight of a candidate.
• The wrinkles a candidate has.
• What a candidate wears, especially if it’s a pantsuit.
• How long a candidate takes to pee.
• What a candidate remembers about something they did in high school.
• A candidate’s “talent” as a politician.
• The sexcapades of a candidate’s spouse.

Off Limits

What seems to be off-limits? Sadly, we seem to be avoiding substantive coverage in the media of policy differences.

I mean, really. C’mon.
