The GOP is all about optics. The dress code is about optics. Elections are a lot about optics. Next year is an election year. Why make this change now? I realize the Senate is dysfunctional and stymied by their own filibuster rules and they can’t get a lot done because GOP controlled House can’t pass a bill, but is there really nothing more important they can do?
