Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
I know it’s a repugnant subject, but let’s talk Democrat politics this morning. – First, we’ve had Irish Bob O’Rourke re-boot his failed campaign this week, and boy what a massive fail that has been. As part of his “reintroduction to America”, he live-streamed himself having a haircut and massage! I swear I do not make this stuff up.:
Oh, he also appeared with the four nagging, substance-devoid shrews on The View, which I suppose meant that Tuesday’s episode of The View actually featured five nagging, substance-devoid shrews. There, he apologized for his being white, male and privileged, and the very next day he’s got a video up of him having a hair cut and massage. Why do I get the feeling that, before the week is over, Irish Bob is going to announce that next week he will re-re-boot his failed campaign?
Here’s the amazing thing about that video: Some supposedly “professional” campaign advisors told Irish Bob that that was just a fab-o idea. Well, they probably didn’t use the term “fab-o” since they’re probably all under the age of 80 or so, but still.
Seriously, who in their right mind would think that this is a good look for their candidate? No wonder Donald Trump decided not to listen to such “professional” advisors during his 2015-16 campaign.
Speaking of truly awful political ideas… – Bill DeBlasio is now a candidate for president! Aren’t y’all thrilled out there in Flyover Country? Yeah, neither are the people whose lives he has helped to make miserable – the citizens of New York City – 76% of whom told a pollster this week that their communist Mayor really should not go down this road.
The James-Comey-tall Mayor first announced his candidacy at a Monday event Trump Tower, which some idiot told him was a very clever idea. That is, until he was mocked by protesters riding down the escalator behind him carrying pro-Trump signs. How is that none of these campaign “professionals” thought that it might be a lousy idea to place their candidate in front of a public escalator?
The Marxist Mayor then traveled to Iowa for a kickoff rally. There, the people who printed the signage for the event misspelled his name as “DiBlasio”. Since only a few dozen showed for the event – and who knows how many of them could even read – it didn’t really much matter.
In any event, DeBlasio joins New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand as Empire State presidential candidates who have literally no rationale at all for entering this race. They will both leave the race without having won a single delegate to next year’s national convention.
Hey, there’s nobody in the field named George yet – maybe he should run, too! – Over in London, dimwitted actor George Clooney told the assembled press that “we are facing a pretty absurd time in our lives.” No word if he was referring to the 2020 Democrat presidential field, but he should have been.
The Biden Juggernaut is already fading. – When Joe Biden kicked off his campaign at the first of May, I told you that he would experience the best polling numbers of the entire campaign season in the first 2-3 weeks following his announcement. Sure enough, he did put up some phenomenal numbers in the first few polls issued early this month, rising to as high as 46% support in a poll put out by The Hill and 44% in the Harvard/Harris poll. Very impressive given the number of candidates in the field.
But very predictably, the bloom is already coming off the Biden rose, as the excitement among the deluded Democrat voter base fades and the reality of the energy-devoid, elderly candidate-who-has-been-wrong-about-everything-for-half-a-century sets in.
We’ve seen two new polls this week, and Biden is sub-40% in both, sitting at 39% in Morning Consult and 33% in the Emerson poll. The Emerson poll is the most current, having been conducted from May 10 through May 14.
Karl Rove, whose political analyses stopped being in any way relevant along about April of 2015, was on Fox News on Wednesday marveling at Biden’s 23-point lead over The Commie in the also no-longer-relevant RealClearPolitics average of polls, but that lead will be down to less than 10 in a month, and will be completely gone by October.
Joe Biden is this cycle’s Jeb! Bush, the guy with all the establishment support, a ton of money, zero energy and, at the end of the day, zero appeal to the people who actually vote in these nominating primaries. I still think his campaign ought to just start calling him Joe! and get it all over with.
That is all.

At this rate, they are going to have to trade in the clown car for a clown bus.

HOOOORAH!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like ANOTHER hat being thrown in the ring...
The more the merrier.....PDJT is going to need a ‘cheat sheet’ to keep track of all the idiots and I am ‘afraid’ he will run out of time appropriate names for them.
HOOOOOOOOOOORAH!!!!!!!!
LOL
The good news is that he is spending donated money that might otherwise go to a more viable candidate. I have no problem with Dems wasting their own money.
If O’Rourke really hated himself for being a white man, he’d drop out of the race and endorse one of the black candidates. Can’t we assume that he is a racist because he would rather run himself than to support one of the black candidates? Isn’t he really sending the message that we are better off with a cucked white man than a strong black person?
President Trump will win the popular vote and get all those blue state delegates. It will be the most lopsided election since the civil war.
I think people here are missing something.
Liberals are playing the long game, they know none of these clowns are going to be the nominee in 2020, but they are planting seeds for the future, so that people will down the road accept their radical agenda. But for 2020, it will be a more “conventional” nominee, which means either Biden, or Hillary.
Isn't it funny how the wealthy, elite liberals who apologize to no end for the "crime" of being white never seem to want to hand much of their wealth or power over to help supposedly more "deserving" non-whites, isn't it? What they really mean is that you and I, not they, need to give up what we have to benefit those minorities. It's the same reasoning as that of Al Gore, who wants to rest of us to give up the use of internal combustion engines while he tools around the world in his private jet.
LOL-----He and the wife got their thieving eyes on the US Treasury.
He won the mayor’s seat with 72% of the vote....after he had the number tattooed on his wife’s a**
to double the thrill, DiBlobbio began making plans for the presidency.
But, Pray Tell, Where Does De Blasio Get The Money For His Eternal Presidential Campaign Trips?
NEWS CLIP BY Marcia Kramer, CBS News, April 5, 2019 / FR Posted by EinNYC
.....ethical questions are being raised about where he’s getting all the money to fund his cross-country presidential campaign trips.“On The Road Bill,” the mail-it-in mayor of New York City has been galloping all over the country to test the presidential waters with a suspicious campaign cash box that’s raising lots of eyebrows. “To me, that’s a real no-no,” Betsy Gotbaum of the Citizens Union said. Gotbaum is questioning how de Blasio is raising money for his “Fairness PAC” – the political action committee that is allowing the mayor to dream about running the country.“Is it the appearance of something wrong?” CBS2’s Marcia Kramer asked .......
REALITY CHECK—De Blobbio gave his wife $850 million tax dollars for (cough) mental health projects. But the imbecile can’t account for the 41 programs (money laundries) supposedly spending staggering amounts of tax dollars......
Blobbo and his fashion-flop wife enter GMA studios.
This is who greeted them

Bill Clinton officiates at oath-taking as Blobbo's family looks on.
I think the opposite: They brought out the craziest first, the least likely to win. Then a former vice president who also has very little chance to win. Then one more crazy.
Watch out for the next one to appear. He will be The One. Get ready.
Basically right, but I don’t think it will be Joe or Hillary in 2020. Not last year’s hat and not a crazy either.
It will be someone ordinary American can respect themselves for having as their candidate.
"Looks like University of Illinois!"
Y’know, I’ve been saying that Buttplug will be the VP running mate, irrespective of whom the Demagogic Party picks for their losing POTUS candidate — but I could see Biden plucking a.k.a. deblasio for a running mate.
Thanks BTerclinger.
Bill’s campaign song:
I’m proud to be un-American
An out-and-out dark red commie
Rather than debate Donald Trump I will
Label him a neo-Nazi
So stand up next to me
And salute me here today
‘cause there ain’t no place like NYC
I’m the mayor who’s not gay.
Vote DeBlasio in 2020, so he can bring 1970s New York to the whole country.
