"Bernie Sanders's suit looks brown to me. @AaronBlake says its blue. Who's right?," asked another, before the inevitable comparisons started between the suit, and the now infamous Roman Originals dress, from back in February 2015.

In the end, Sanders' rapid response director chimed in with a response: "The suit senator sanders is wearing tonight is blue." Really? Blue?!
