Yes. I don't recall this level of discussion about Duncan Hunter 2008 or Thaddeus McCotter 2012.

Some of it is just hilarious though. I love how some think some super rich guy from the DC suburbs is a perfect candidate to appeals to working class whites because his father was in a union or something.

No, they're bored and he's the first declared candidate. He's pretty much all there is to talk about.

Funnier than angry New Hampshire women, I tell you what.

I seem to recall a bit of ironic chatter around McCotter too, but you are completely ignoring that this man announced two years too early. It totally makes sense that he'd have more. I am much more bothered by the 46th president signature memes which seem to serve no purpose whatsoever as there is no possible punchline.

I mean, most people are making fun of him through sarcastic post (You can't contain-y the Delaney!!!!) so no. What's really pathetic is Delaneys bid in the first place.

Obsessing over mocking a pathetic joke candidate is still pretty pathetic in itself. Imagine if Lincoln Chafee got as much attention as Delaney is getting now.

The Steve Bullock talk is even weirder.

The difference is Bullock has never had eight threads about him on the front page of 2020 board.

And there's even more of this. He definitely had five or six threads about him on the front page at some point.

Chafee actually did get a fair bit of ironic support when he announced. I could definitely see it getting as big as this Delaney thing, if he had announced in Summer 2013, when Atlas didn't have anything more exciting to talk about.

Once again, what ISN'T? Larry the Cable Guy movies probably have significantly more humor in them than that meme does.

Yes, to some extent. I guarantee the dude won't even make it to the IA caucus.

Absolutely not. President Delaney will win the Iowa circus hands-down.

By which of course I mean Delaneyposting is stupid and I hope it never ends.

Jim Gilmore made it to the Iowa caucus, so why not Delaney?  Gilmore's secret was to not leave his house very often, or hire staff, or run ads.  The campaign can't go into debt if it doesn't spend money.

Dude, we get it, you're not impressed by him ... but the talk about Bullock 2020 isn't weird at all.  Democrats just lost an election because they are even more out-of-touch with "Middle America" than they initially thought, and he's a red state governor who's also a solid progressive.  It's so cliche to bring up his name as a darkhorse that "weird" should be the last thing coming to mind.

To be fair

1. It's mostly ironic
2. It's only because he declared first, with like 3 and a half years to go
