Really?  If that is the case then how did Michelle Obama ever become First Lady?? Or how then is Hillary Clinton running for President??  Her looks leave a lot to be desiered and she doesn&#8217;t dress well at all.  They mocked Chris Christie for going under the knife in order to appear slimmer but the truth of the matter is the only very good looking truly Presidential Candidate was Mitt Romney and he lost more than once!  He also has a wife who is very attractive and would have made an excellent First Lady.  She is neat, pretty, educated, well-spoken and well-dressed.  I beg to differ from the article that states that Candidates are dismissed based on their appearance.  Dan Quayle was great looking despite having had an ugly and old looking wife=did that hurt him?  No, it didn&#8217;t.   Also, Mike Huckabee, John and Cindy McCain, and Pat Ryan and wife are all good looking and extremely photogenic and yet they all lost so how do you explain your theory??  We have a current First Lady who is advocating &#8220;Healthy Eating&#8221; while she struts around with a body frame that is hardly desirable.  She is overly muscular, stocky and doesn&#8217;t have the tall, trim physique that is considered to be desirable=to say that she is average looking is being nice!  I wouldn&#8217;t focus on her looks and clothes so much as they should be hidden if what you say is true.  Given the aformentioned points, Chris Christie&#8217;s weight is the least of his problems, believe me! \ud83d\ude42 <\/em><\/strong>  <\/p>\n<p><strong>The Candidate<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hRsl-IVSehE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<!--break--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just read a very interesting article that cited that the upcoming Presidential Candidates are competing mainly on their looks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1213,"featured_media":72448,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1005,2110,1007,1],"tags":[2114,2116],"class_list":["post-18069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beauty","category-fashion-beauty","category-health","category-news","tag-beauty","tag-health"],"magazineBlocksPostFeaturedMedia":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u-113x150.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","medium_large":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","large":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","1536x1536":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","2048x2048":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-highlighted-post":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-featured-post-medium":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-featured-post-small":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u-113x90.jpg","colormag-featured-image":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-default-news":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u-113x150.jpg","colormag-featured-image-large":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-elementor-block-extra-large-thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-elementor-grid-large-thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-elementor-grid-small-thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg","colormag-elementor-grid-medium-large-thumbnail":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/u.jpg"},"magazineBlocksPostAuthor":{"name":"Joshua","avatar":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/62ee23f8f40307578d1f284ecd823d77f32da8ea35541e7dbdafeb5da1a4e877?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"magazineBlocksPostCommentsNumber":"3","magazineBlocksPostExcerpt":"I just read a very interesting article that cited that the upcoming Presidential Candidates are competing mainly on their looks.","magazineBlocksPostCategories":["Beauty","Fashion &amp;
