In the context of this massively important political event, reducing a major player in Hillary’s campaign to his fashion choices alone is absurd and at least a little bit disrespectful. But screw it.

And finally, the accent piece, a Shinola wrist watch sported by gentlemen and presidents alike. Fitting for a man who could be both, should he not get distracted.
(Bill will do whatever the hell it takes to support Hillary, up to and including wearing a watch. Such commitment.)
What was his speech about, you ask? I haven’t the faintest idea.
