Or just don’t wear heels, and when some opponent or interviewer makes some comment about your height, just dig into them like “really? We’re discussing the future of our country and you’re focused on my height? I’m here to focus on the real issues, not petty shit”. Boom, you’d come across way more confident and manly than any amount of height could give you.
Ofc, his base is exactly the sort who is petty enough to care about height, so maybe that approach would only work for a dem candidate lol
Unfortunately, this is a country where a not insignificant number of people vote based on whether they’d want to have a beer with the candidate.
The reality is, being short probably would (does) lose him votes, because people in this country (particularly conservatives that have a very strict, old school view of what a “man” should be) are fucking stupid.
Remember Dennis Kucinich? His height didn’t do him any favors.
