2020 long-shot Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand announced her intentions to run for president on “The Late Show,” while the much more viable Beto O’Rourke is being coy and keeping a blog of his solo road trip. Who else has announced? Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Julian Castro, and maybe some others have announced as well and we missed it. Still waiting on John Kasich, Jay Inslee, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden and a bunch more.
We seem to be getting a lot of “soft launches,” but Comfortably Smug is here to remind Democrats what a campaign launch is supposed to look like, damn it.
Why are these Dems going on Colbert or blogging or going to the dentist to announce they're running?
The blueprint for a winning campaign rollout has already been put on display.
Remember, Hillary called it her “Scooby van?” Good times.
That should do it. As long as your party rigs the primary for you, it should be pretty much clear sailing to the white house from here.
Follow up by writing a book that so successful, you have to do book signings at Costco. Because, you know, volume business.
You're running my campaign. It's been decided.
Can’t wait for Beto to do a sick grind on his skateboard down an escalator at the mall.
The copycats will come out soon. Kasich on an escalator. Sanders on an airport people mover. Clinton gingerly descending from a curb to the street with only one person helping.
Yup. Amazing that none of them has done the #escalator yet.
We really want to see Joe Biden skydive into the Democratic National Convention or something.
