Her point seems to be that appearance (the resemblance is striking) should not be taken to mean she is stupid, poorly informed, should not hold high office etc.<br />https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2017/11/04/environment-minister-catherine-mckenna-confronts-reporter-about-climate-barbie-nickname.html<br />Of course there is another point. Some conservatives think the usual "Climate" talk is always a bit vacuous, and it's even funnier coming from a woman who looks like her. Sometimes men get branded as "beautiful but dumb"; Reagan?

His assumption about what type of woman Trump would hire to do a specific job as compared to the reality of who Trump HAS hired. It seem that Mr. Horsey is the superficial one.<br /><br /><i> "By comparison [to Ivanka and Melania], Sanders looks more like a slightly chunky soccer mom who organizes snacks for the kids' games. Rather than the fake eyelashes and formal dresses she puts on for news briefings, Sanders seems as if she'd be more comfortable in sweats and running shoes."</i><br /><br />I'm pretty sure that even Ivanka and Melania would be more comfortable in sweats and running shoes too. <br /><br />I'm also pretty sure that Sarah Huckabee Sanders is under no illusions about her own appearance as compared to others. She also seems like someone who is more than comfortable in her OWN skin and with her own abundant and evident strengths. Sarah is a lioness. I love the way she swats down the unruly media kiddies. <br /><br />In fact Sarah said (paraphrasing) "that being the mother of three children has prepared her to deal with the press corps."
