You know that men have come a long way, baby, when their footwear choice becomes a New York Times article.

The subject?  Marco Rubio’s boots. Boots are a normal thing for Presidential candidates. High heeled ankle boots aren’t.

The fellow candidates were thrilled.

Senator Ted Cruz’s communications director, Rick Tyler, wrote on
Twitter: “A Vote for Marco Rubio Is a Vote for Men’s High-Heeled Booties.” “Rubio has those cute new boots and I don’t want to be outdone,” Senator Rand Paul said before an appearance on “The View.” Carly Fiorina posted a Twitter message with a picture of her own pair of high-heeled boots, with the message “Yeah, @marcorubio, but can you rock these?”

Okay, so the Republican Presidential campaign has officially hit below the belt.

Just thought you’d want to know.

ON EDIT:  I just thought — this is the first time that all the bullcrap was on the inside of the boot.
