1/ Even now the candidate who is taller has a statistical better chance of winning. It's the vestige of pre-historic times in which whoever was the tallest person in the tribe stood the greatest chance of seeing dangers that were looming such as tigers, elephants, or adversaries.

2/ Today someone's height has nothing to do with capacity to discern looming threats. But we still need a leader who can "see further," which today is neither height nor traditional political acumen. It's reverence for planet, people & animals, and a knowledge of cause and effect

3/ If we don't take care of the earth environmental catastrophe looms. If we don't take care of children future chaos looms. If there's no economic justice violent revolution looms. The capacity to discern what "will" happen, not just what "is" happening, is key to our survival.

Seriously it's hard to focus on the candidate's height when we expect a lot more from the person in office. Please don't formulate that Hillary lost because she's female. She won the popular vote, and Trump got a phenomenal appeal to conservatives that the media fails to grasp.

The tallest vestige we have to overcome is our vestige of dowry, as Wilhelm Reich points out in his writings. The dowry is what planted us into materialism (the main tap root of King's triplet of evil): the dowry distorted natural organic love mating into subjective abstraction.
