Given that this is someone who is obviously interested in political power, it doesn't seem totally out of the realm of possibility that after months of facing off with Hillary and contemplating her in all her power and grandeur and effectiveness, that maybe Favreau has some degree of conscious or unconscious attraction to Hillary. That is after all also the sort of thing that comes out when someone is drunk, i.e. ill thought-out expressions of desire. Guys and women as a joke at parties do of course grope images of people who aren't attractive, to make fun of those people (or of themselves and the nature of desire and sexuality), but far more often I think it's a cut out of someone who's a total hunk or babe illiciting drunkenly lacivious expressions of normally unstated desires (or at least not so blatantly stated desires).
To me there seems to be something a little telling and sexist in it's own way that no one here contemplates that possibility that a young man could be attracted to an older woman, because of her power and charisma (especially a young man who's very involved in the political arena), and that attraction came out in a moment of drunken abandon and relaxation after the election is over.
