Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Not that anything this clown does actually matters anymore, but what the heck. – Irish Bob O’Rourke, the arm-waving, tire-changing, dental-cleaning-streaming failed senate candidate from Texas, just keeps going lower and lower in his desperate attempts to attract attention to his failing presidential campaign.
Yesterday, as an obvious virtue-signal to the New York Times and CNNs of the world, the fake Hispanic had his staff forcibly remove Joel Pollack, a reporter for Breitbart news, from an event at Benedict College, a historically-black college in Columbia, S.C. The reason why Pollack was removed? None given by the candidate, mainly because none of the other supposed “journalists” in attendance from Democrat toadying news outlets could summon the journalistic integrity to simply ask the question.
Pollack said one O’Rourke staffer claimed he was being removed because he had been “disruptive” at past events, but that is manifestly untrue. Ultimately, he was given the option of either going quietly or being arrested by a campus police officer on the scene.
This is how the radical left treats news organizations who don’t just parrot their daily talking points. One would think the press might have learned this lesson after so many of its people had been spied upon and had their homes broken into and illegally searched by the Obama Administration, but they are obviously blinded by their own political biases.
Again, nothing O’Rourke does really matters in the overall context of this nominating race – he lost any chance he had to be a factor months ago – but this incident provides just one more example of the rank socialist/Alynskyite thuggery on open display by the various candidates for the Democrat nomination.
Hey, what happened to the pantsuits? – The Daily Mail this morning has a photo-filled report on the Pantsuit Princess strolling with a friend around the Hamptons, wearing what appears to be someone’s bedroom drapes:
Oh, and to think we could have had her representing the United States at the G-7 this past weekend. What a missed opportunity!
Ok, let’s move on.
Oh, wait. No, let’s think about this for a moment. How do you think photo spreads like this one make their way into the Daily Mail? Do you think the Daily Mail employs thousands of reporters all over the globe to just follow people like the Fainting Felon around to get the fab photos of them on their daily strolls?
No, these photo spread pieces happen because the subjects of them want them to happen. The subjects either know the stringer paparazzi are around and go out of their way to get photographed, or they actively hire a photo-journalist to take the photos and pay them to get them over to the Daily Mail, the Star and other similar tabloids.
The Grasping Grifter is looking for attention. She hasn’t been in the public eye much lately, ever since her world talking tour with her hubby and Jeffrey Epstein’s best buddy Bill fell apart due to lack of interest and paying customers.
The Coughing Crook is desperate to remain in the public’s consciousness. Why? Because she continues to maintain hopes that the Democrat nominating process, with its new, proportional awarding of delegates in the primary process, will end in a hung convention. She is most likely working behind the scenes to secure support from the “super delegates” who will end up being the deciding factor in such a scenario. That support will only be there if she remains a currently-relevant public figure.
So, hey, she’s got her a new look, and she wanted to show it off.
Hey, remember me? Hillary? I’m still around, and look! No more pantsuits, America! The bedroom curtain look is now in! Don’t forget about me! I certainly haven’t forgotten about you!
Guess I’m going to have to come up with another nickname.
That is all.
It’s hard to imagine she’d want those pictures to be seen by the public.

same ankles she had 50 years ago ...
Holy crap! That’s a tent, not a dress.
Her friend looks much better.
Hillary: i have a proven track record that i can get more votes than donald trump, and i have more experience than all the democratic candidates combined, and joe biden said as much.
i am happy to accept the democratic nomination as soon as my super delegates say i can. Yes I can.
look at those cankles!
With that TeePee dress, is Hellary trying to steal the native Indian vote from Fakeahontas?
Wow.
Optics are so important, and that’s what she chose to wear in public? What is she hiding in that tent, is it a colostomy bag or a catheter? With all her money and people in her hire, if that is the most fashionable she can dress, there has to be something being covered up.
Those thick ankles and calves, along with her bouts of cognitive deficit tell me she has congestive heart failure.
Wow! What a fashion statement that Hillary is! Her lavender shirt dress and white purse with gold chain strap is stunning!
The Secret Service would need a crane to load her into the van now... 😳
If being more secretive and misleading than 2016 is the answer to beating Trump, she has as good a chance as any of the current field of grifters running for the Democrat nomination this time around. If she promises free houses, cars and food for everyone...she could win it all!
Beto's really desperate.......removing reporters started with candidate Trump----who threw out the troublemaker from Telemundo.
“Why? Because she continues to maintain hopes that the Democrat nominating process, with its new, proportional awarding of delegates in the primary process, will end in a hung convention.

I just read the DNC candidate selection rules. Holy crap, THEY RIGGED IT FOR HILLARY again.
In a nutshell, this year the Superdelegates do not vote on the first ballot...all of the voting delegates for the first ballot pledged to a certain candidate, based on the results of the states they come from.
On top of that, the delegates that do get pledged, get pledged on a mostly proportional basis. The one rule that works a bit against that is the 15% rule - you need to overcome 15% of a primary/caucus vote to get any delegates. But still, you can EASILY have 3 or 4 (or even 5 or 6) candidates splitting up California’s huge number of delegates.
As long as there are 3 or more candidates doing reasonably well, they are almost assured that no one will win on the first ballot (where flat-out 50% of the delegates are required).
At that point, it’s over. The delegates can select ANYONE they choose. They could choose Omar, or Ted Cruz, or Al Gore, or, of course Hillary, as she rides on to the convention floor, naked, on her white stallion. The only rule is that whoever they choose get 50% of the delegate votes as they vote over and over again, and that will be fun to watch. Chicago 1968 won’t hold a candle to this beauty!
