Hooray for Alicia Machado. But shouldn't we Democrats - and especially the first major party candidate for president - be denouncing beauty pageants generally as archaic, misogynistic, obsolete relics of a bygone era that really have no place in 2016 America? This part of the problem with Trump and Clinton. 

Democrats criticize Trump for uncouth remarks while accepting of the underlying premise of the topic. Yes, it was wrong to call beauty pageant winner Alicia Machado "fat." But in this day and age isn't it just as inappropriate to judge women on their beauty and looks (and talent) in a formal "competition"?
