Whether they’re in office or on the campaign trail, Democrat politicians have a penchant for spending lots of money on really stupid things.

A haircut is one thing. Voters will look at the candidate from the shoulders up in many appearances televised or in-person. Being presentable, with professional attire and a well-groomed appearance, should be important, but Edwards’s $1,250 was and is indefensible in the eyes of any self-respecting man.
Most wouldn’t pay more than $25 — or better yet, they’d just have their wife do it for free. The voter won’t notice nails unless they are grotesque and unkempt. It’s unclear what the Harris campaign hoped to achieve by seeking Krok’s services, as night totals speak for themselves.
If your blood isn’t already boiling, for context, Harris’ nails bill costs what in about five months. While we could endlessly ridicule Edwards and Harris, both situations are indicative of the timeless “rules.
