For instance, whose ideologies are most similar to mine? Who would actually be able to put their plans into effect? Who\u2019s most genuine? Who will understand my love of cheese?<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, last nights Republican debate didn\u2019t clear up that last question. We do, however, know where Hillary Clinton stands, as yesterday morning she exclaimed, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/twitchy.com\/2015\/10\/28\/hillary-clinton-talks-cheese-stuffed-in-things-with-anthony-bourdain-video\/\">I love cheese!<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hillary Clinton, you know what the people want to hear.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: -5px;\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Backstage <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/colbertlateshow\">@colbertlateshow<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HillaryClinton\">@HillaryClinton<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Bourdain\">@Bourdain<\/a> talk travel &amp; cheese.&#10;cc: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SaakashviliM\">@SaakashviliM<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/erjhHnpluE\">pic.twitter.com\/erjhHnpluE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Nick Merrill (@NickMerrill) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NickMerrill\/status\/659362387858997248\">October 28, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<p>This vital piece of information came from the Twitter of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NickMerrill?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Nick Merrill<\/a>, Clinton\u2019s traveling press secretary, where he posted a video of Hillary talking to CNN\u2019s Anthony Bourdain backstage at <em>The Late Show with Stephen Colbert<\/em>. Describing the meal of all meals, she says, \u201cWe had about 15 courses of cheese. I mean it was cheese stuffed in things, it was cheese on top of things. It was melted cheese, it was hard cheese. It was unbelievable!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hillary\u2019s been given a hard time for not seeming like the kind of person you can just hang out with. Personally, I think I would have plenty to kick back and chat about with someone who openly discusses their love for \u201ccheese-stuffed things.\u201d Not to mention, she is much more savvy with her cheese-talking-points than <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/five-times-politicians-failed-at-food\/\" target=\"_blank\">previous candidates have been<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Take Mitt Romney, who tried relating to voters and talked about things he didn\u2019t understand during his 2012 campaign. When speaking in Mississippi, he added a \u201cy\u2019all\u201d to his speech and told the crowd that he ate \u201ccheesy grits\u201d that morning. Bad move, Romney. As John Birdsall explained in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chowhound.com\/food-news\/108194\/mitt-romneys-craving-for-grits\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chowhound<\/a>, &#8220;Though grits in the South often contain cheese, one thing Southerners never do is call them&mdash;as Romney did&mdash;&#8217;cheesy grits.\u2019 They\u2019re &#8216;cheese grits.&#8217; Always.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Or John Kerry, who lost points for pretentiousness when he substituted cheese wiz for swiss cheese on his Philly cheesesteak in his 2004 campaign. Come on John Kerry&mdash;no one wants a cheese snob in the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Hillary, however, has proved her love of cheese time and time again. During a speech at the 30th anniversary gala for EMILY&#8217;s List in March, she couldn\u2019t resist giving a shout out to mac and cheese during her acknowledgment of Senator Barbara Mikulski, who plans on retiring after 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Mikulski] understands that, yes, we have to work on macro issues,\u201d Clinton said, \u201cand also macaroni and cheese issues, too.\u201d Macaroni and cheese issues are serious issues, indeed.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m hoping the rest of the candidates will announce their views on cheese soon. I like to think that Ben Carson is a secret hoarder of Kraft singles, or that Bernie Sanders snacks exclusively on Mini Babybels. If I find out that one of the candidates and I share a favorite cheese, would that sway my decision? Yes, yes it would.<\/p>\n<p>As we eagerly await for their responses, I have another important question for Hillary: <em>Where<\/em> did you get this 15-course meal of cheese, and if you become president, will you ensure we all have access to 15-course meals of cheese? Followup question: If Donald Trump is president, will he ensure his face is found on every dairy product out there, or is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/usa\/313355-donald-trump-butter-woman\/\">this woman<\/a> from Missouri the only person get to bask in the glow of the Dairy Donald?<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: -5px;\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Missouri woman finds Donald Trump&#39;s face in tub of butter <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/KK8QdcNyI4\">http:\/\/t.co\/KK8QdcNyI4<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/hAbyf1aY2A\">pic.twitter.com\/hAbyf1aY2A<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Toby Harnden (@tobyharnden) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tobyharnden\/status\/635657003067555840\">August 24, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<p><small><em>Feature Photo Credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/pic-155865398\/stock-photo-new-york-september-hillary-clinton-attends-the-clinton-global-initiative-annual-meeting-at.html?src=DbPDDgy84tfIAbGiIyr_-w-1-28\" target=\"_blank\">Hillary Clinton&#8230;<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/gallery-1803410p1.html\" target=\"_blank\">Jstone<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\" target=\"_blank\">Shutterstock<\/a><\/em><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2016 Presidential candidates are starting to talk about what matters to the people: cheese<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":73,"featured_media":24496,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"coauthors":[818],"class_list":["post-24463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cheese-bites"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.4 (Yoast SEO v24.4) -
