\"blue<\/a><\/p>\n

My wife likely would be the first — and maybe the last — person to tell you I have no business being a fashion consultant.<\/p>\n

She reminds me on occasion that I tend to dress like a stereotypical journalist — whatever that means. I’m often a bit rumpled and not quite “pulled together,” to use her description.<\/p>\n

Still, am I the only Republican presidential “debate” viewer Thursday night who noticed that all 10 members of the GOP “A Team,” the guys at the top of the polls, were dressed essentially the same?<\/p>\n

With the obvious exception of Ben Carson (third from left in the picture), all these guys even kinda\/sorta looked the same.\u00a0Most of them have dark-ish hair — although Sen. Rand Paul’s (second from right) style is sort of, um, one of a kind.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s ‘do stands alone.<\/p>\n

It seems as though they all talked to the same media consultant who issued the memo: blue suit, plain shirt, red or blue tie;\u00a0Old Glory lapel flag pins are optional.<\/p>\n

But the sameness among all of them — yes, even The Donald —\u00a0looks a bit creepy.<\/p>\n

I’m betting the three Democratic male presidential candidates will consult with the same media guru prior to their debate.<\/p>\n
