100 Mayors For Hillary Clinton: How To Sweep It Under The Rug 101

Yesterday’s misleadingly-titled “100 Mayors For Hillary” event went off without a hitch! … Except  only 19 mayors actually showed up to the Rotunda of the Pennsylvania Capital. What do you do when less than 20% of your guests show up?

Step 1: Throw their names on a plaque. Tell the public:

“Rally organizers never expected all 100 mayors to attend and that some were participating in Clinton events in their home cities,” said Kathleen Strand of the Clinton campaign.

Step 2:  Take the focus off yourself. Begin Obama-bashing…

Obama’s comments at an SF fundraiser: some voters in small towns in Pennsylvania cling to guns or religion because of their frustration over their economic circumstances.

Harrisburg Mayor Stephen Reed: “Obama’s comments are divisive and condescending… Small-town values are the bedrock of American values.”

Step 3: Cloud it with confusion.

At a later rally yesterday, supportive mayor, Easton’s Sal Panto, claimed, “Earlier today I was in our Capitol in Harrisburg, in the Rotunda, where I was joined by 100 other mayors across our state, in a coalition that this state has never seen, in support of Sen. Clinton.”

I tried to throw my boyfriend a surprise party once. Only 3 of his friends showed up. I felt kinda bad so I invited 3 of my girlfriends. Everyone went home with a smile on their face. I should be a party planner.
