A Definitive Ranking Of Hillary Clinton's Pantsuits

Few can forget the faithful moment when Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton put a talk show host in their place when they asked about her favorite designers.

"MODERATOR 1: OK, which designers do you prefer?

SECRETARY CLINTON: What? Designers of clothes?

MODERATOR 1: Yes.

SECRETARY CLINTON: Would you ever ask a man that question?"

No, Mrs. Clinton, we won't ask you the same question this talk-show host did years ago. As two very astute young college females, we find ourselves mesmerized by your vast pantsuit collection. Notice how it's a pantsuit collection. If your pantsuits weren't about gender roles—what else would they be about Mrs. Clinton?

Prior to Monica's unfortunate emergence into yours and Bill's life, you wore skirts and feminine-like dresses while you stood by his side on the campaign trail.

(Exhibit A: November 1991, while Billiam campaigned to the lovely people of New Hampshire...Not a pant leg in sight on you there...)

But that's none of our business...

Anyway, we have embraced the Age of the Pantsuit, and in doing so, we decided to rank 10 of your most quintessential pantsuits on a scale from 1-10, with 10 being the most slaying. Your tireless dedication to the pantsuit industry has made you an icon to pantsuit wearers everywhere. And we applaud you.

Let the voting begin!


1. Yes, the lighting in there does make this suit look that democratic. We're just as dazed and confused as you are about this, Mrs. Clinton.

Score: 8/10 (points docked for bare feet)


2. Halloween's right around the corner and we so approve of your costume choice. (We especially love how President Obama applauds your Halloween costume commitment.)

You even went as far as to match the blue on the wrapper! (Bonus points!)

Score: 9/10


3. You can dress a hawk up in a yellow pantsuit, but you can't hide its feathers... or it's proposed arms deals.

Score: 7.5/10


4. "Hanna would you like to comment on this suit?

"No."

*Applause*

Score: 8


5. Simply, this suit slays. If you wore this to every debate, no one would say anything because they'll sit speechless from the power of this suit. (Or think you switched sides...)

Score: 10/10


6. Though this suit is very flattering on your Mrs. Clinton, we know you're not that neutral on the issues...

Score: 6/10


7. Oh, did you think your green friendly suit would hide the fact that you're just getting back from an offshore drilling site excavation?

No?

Keystone didn't think so either.

"No comment."

Score: 6.5/10


8. Elle Woods, is that you? Nope, just Hillary.

Score: 4/10


9. #tbt to when you matched the White House!

Score: 5/10


10. And finally, let's never forget about the time you moonlighted as 'N Sync.

Score: 6/10

Grand Total: 70/100


All in all, we would like to thank you for giving your tireless support to pantsuit manufacturers. However, we would like to address the fact that gender norms are a prominent topic in this country right now and that you are defying them by means of your clothing. Many young Americans would like to see the continuation of this shift in history, and being open to admitting that you are helping this happen should not be something you feel you need to deny.

Until November 2016, Hillary. May the odds be ever in your favor.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
