After Donald Trump's victory in 2016, Boris Johnson's victory in 2019, and Javier Milei's victory in 2023, there seem so be a trend of "don't bet against the firebrand with the unusual hair".

If I was an establishment politician, I'd be terrified if I had an opponent like that given this hit rate now. Or if I was advising an establishment politician, I'd advise them to have something more distinctive. Like my first advice to Biden would be "I mean, at least grow the beard out dude". And I'm kind of shocked that none of the Republican candidates have beards. Ted Cruz deciding to grow a beard has been a great appearance decision but nobody else seems to be doing it.
