00:00No one will read your policy papers.

00:02Best case, a soundbite will go viral once a year.

00:06Meanwhile, your face will appear in the media an average of 12,000 times a day.

00:10Every classroom in America, every embassy in the world will hang your picture on the wall.

00:15It's soft power.

00:17So, you've got a couple of choices.

00:19Wear a suit, like the military wears a uniform.

00:22Disappear. Hide the individual behind the duty to serve.

00:27Or get a gimmick.

00:28Blonde bob. Red lipstick.

00:30Pins like Albright. Collars like RBG.

00:33Glasses. A shorthand so people see what you stand for.

00:36And little girls dress like you for Halloween.

00:39I think I'm opting for the suit that makes you disappear.

01:13Is that a paperclip?

01:15Oh, yes. I had a zipper issue.

01:18When you're a second-tier diplomat in a third-world war zone, that may read as scrappy.

01:23If you're representing the interests of 300 million Americans whose health care is failing,

01:28whose planet is burning, whose future might get a little bit better or a little bit worse

01:32based on what you do in the course of a day,

01:34it's best to look like the care of your trousers wasn't more than you could manage.

01:43So, let's talk about the Senate.
