bedsitter23One of Des Moines's suburbs saw an internet request from a California school trying to get Tom Hanks to come to their Student Dance.
The government teacher got the idea of trying to get a Presidential candidate to come to theirs, and had a pretty great hashtag for it - Presidance.
Well, social media is full of requests trying to get Rhonda Rousey or Taylor Swift or whoever to the local shindig or getdown.
There's approximately a half million candidates in Iowa right now, so i thought it was a no brainer.
A fun idea- don't get me wrong, but should be like shooting fish in a barrel.
I mean what a great way of publicity. Most of the candidates are lonelier than Rick Perry and the most exciting thing they got booked this week is a trip to the Pizza Ranch.
No, seriously.
Baby, I got nothing to do, tell me the time and place, I will be there. What you want? You know no one loves you like I do.
So, I figured the candidates would be all over the free publicity.
Santorum and Huckabee who spent all their waking hours in the Hawkeye state (though the thoughts of a high school dance means a lot of pelvic thrusting, also possibly there may be mixed race couples).
There's rock star Kasich and George Pataki who surely could use anything right now.
There's, well, you seen the CNN debate, there's like 20 of them and if I listed them all, we'd be here all day.
So, you know who offered it up.
The Donald
You other candidates are idiots. Bobby Jindal- this could have been you. Scott Walker- this is how you fight a double digit drop in the polls,
But, no, I don't think anyone said squat until the Donald.
Which of course, he did.
He's friggin Batman.
Heck, I am not even mad. I am cynical as it gets, and if you like my political writing, it means you are too; but at the end of the day, you have to admit this is kind of a heartwarming personal interest story.
Let's face it, politics and names aside, government teacher asks a politician visit her kids, and big name politician stands and delivers. Heck, I may even start shedding a tear.
We always joked politics is becoming a circus and this year may indeed be the logical conclusion, boostered by a man supported by thousands of people who have spent the last eight years hunched in their basement over laptops writing articles like "I am so gawddamn tired of the President acting like a goldurned celebrity"
