Bernie Sanders was commended for his unusually slick appearance during the second Democratic debate, as social media users speculated that the Vermont senator might have undergone a makeover.
Several pointed out that the 77-year-old socialist’s usually unkempt hair seemed to have been neatly combed.

“Bernie’s hair is in place. (I’m an equal opportunity fashion commentator.)” the Washington Examiner‘s David Drucker observed.

The new style was dubbed an “ambush makeover” by another observer.

Do we HAVE to start with Senator Sanders. Although I will say “Congrats on combing your hair, Bernie. And I like your new glasses. Please don’t yell at me.” Did Bernie get a makeover? #DemDebate
