More than half of all US white women, support whoever is the fashiest POTUS option on the ballot. Less than half support whoever is the least fashy POTUS option. This has been true for > 80 years.
Predictably, ~half of the Hollywood starlets are Trumpy, and ~half are anti-Trumpy.

Hot take, but we *should* have $10,000 _cars_ here in the U.S. and absolutely nobody has that on offer.
