Democratic women don aprons and return to the kitchen to woo 2020 voters

Democratic women vying for the presidency may have their sights set on 2020 and beyond, but at times they present themselves to voters in a way that harks back to a bygone era.

Kamala Harris caught heat online this week for posing in her kitchen wearing a crisp white apron as she prepared her own Mother's Day feast for husband Doug Emhoff and her two adult stepchildren.

Social media pundits were quick to speculate how often the senator from California and former state attorney general, 54, who developed a reputation as a tough prosecutor, cooked and whether the picture, compared to a scene from 1950s sitcom "Leave It To Beaver," was staged. Some drew attention to her freshly-creased apron.

Harris, who last week penned a first-person piece for Elle magazine on how her stepchildren call her "Momala," was also featured in a March 2018 Vogue profile in which her sister and campaign adviser Maya Harris revealed she was a "mad crocheter.”

I would love it if the DEM women would resort going back to the June Cleaver days.  It would be a welcome change to all their recent bat crap crazy ideas.

Either would have to be better in the kitchen than Gary Bauer was.

Jack Tripper wore one on Three’s Company. I’m guessing their’s would be similar.

I have a couple of aprons; they aren't white for heaven's sake.  I do wear them twice a year; when I bake cookies, pies and breads at Thanksgiving and Christmas.  It makes it easier not to have to change my clothes if I need to run to the store if I forgot to buy an ingredient or two, and it just makes it easier to wipe my hands on the apron that I'm wearing. happy77

I would never vote for Harris under any circumstances, but since her parents are from India and Jamaica, she probably makes interesting foods.

And, I wear aprons, particularly when I'm baking because I'm messy, and I have white aprons and they have fold marks on them because I fold them after they are washed and dried. 

That being said, Harris is not someone I could ever vote for, let babysit my children, walk my dogs, or cook for me.

Never used one.  But at home I usually wear the rattiest clothes in the closet.  If they get stained or soiled, who cares? 

Growing up -- there was a neighbor across the street -- she was always "dressed to the 9s" as my Mom would say., even at home doing housework.  Hair perfectly coifed, jewelry, a dress, just like June Cleaver.  Only difference is that she didn't wear heels.  Nice woman, don't get me wrong, but I once told my mother I didn't look that good to go to work.

Better her, than AOC. I never trust a skinny cook.

I have seen teasers like this before
Unless you're Amish, do not send out headlines of women cooking in aprons.
