Obligatory passage

Is it a walkabout? Better still, a makeover. In Milford, New Hampshire, on February 4, Bernie Sanders continued his campaign for the Democratic primaries, attracting a dense and particularly young crowd. In fact, the 78-year-old senator from Vermont is both the oldest candidate for the primaries and the most popular among Democrats under the age of 30. Which puts him at risk. That of being caught in pincers by two young fans looking for a selfie, first. That of winning the primary in June, then.

Quality objective

The device that this young fan is holding is an iPhone 11, easily recognizable, despite the presence of a colorful protective shell, with its double photo sensor. Critics of Bernie Sanders will see proof that the Democrat is not really the candidate of the popular classes, this model costing more than $ 1,200. The interested party will certainly prefer to see it as the guarantee of a quality selfie. In fact, the iPhone 11 has an ultra-wide angle which gives it photographic qualities capable of capturing the candidate in all its splendor.

Campaign for all

According to all opinion research, Bernie Sanders is the most popular presidential candidate in the American Muslim community, representing nearly three and a half million people. After having appointed a Muslim campaign director, the so-called Faiz Shakir, Bernie was even, last year, the very first candidate to participate in the convention of the Islamic Society of North America, addressing this occasion to more seven thousand spectators in Houston.

A bit of resistance

Bernie Sanders' haircut has often been the subject of speculation. During the 2016 campaign, when Trump's campaign sparked passions, it even became the embodiment of a form of resistance. Until Bernie Sanders cut it short: “When the media starts to talk about my hair, we have a real problem. Millions of people are struggling and want to know if I can improve their lives. I don't think my hair is a subject. " So we will not talk about it. Even if a refreshment of the neck would be welcome.

Not a crease

Bernie Sanders doesn't wear a tie, as he often does. On the other hand, he wears his usual sky blue Oxford shirt with button-down collar, which the Anglo-Saxons historically designate by the term OCBD, for "Oxford Cloth Button Down". Absolute bestsellers from Brooks Brothers, these shirts have been dressing up skinny Americans since 1896 in search of a casual look. Which fits well with Bernie’s image. Even if the curvature of the collar lets us think that it has opted for a Non-Iron model, and therefore wrinkle-free, for the sake of sparing appearances.
