Elizabeth Warren Is Trying To Use Her Dog To Get People To Vote For Her

I think this speaks for itself…

The top story on Politico right now is literally a puff piece on Elizabeth Warren’s dog, but please lecture me on how the media is equally as tough on Democrats as they are Republicans. 🙄 pic.twitter.com/EyHMYYLd3Z

Obviously, I had to investigate further.

Yep. There it is. A puff piece on Elizabeth Warren’s dog.

He shared the stage at Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign launch. He’s featured in her online fundraising pitches and stars on her social media accounts. He even has his own selfie lines at organizing events.

Bailey, Warren’s fluffy, cheerful golden retriever, has emerged as the senator’s top surrogate and a phenomenon in his own right.

This is a FOR REAL PIECE. It’s all about how Warren’s dog is humanizing her or whatever. And listen– I LOVE LOVE LOVE dogs, but this just comes off as forced and pathetic.

But Warren’s 2020 campaign is also trying to highlight personal narratives — about her life growing up in Oklahoma and as a young mom — to connect with voters.

That’s where her canine comes in. Nine weeks into Warren’s campaign, Bailey — who arrived as a gift from her husband in July and was named after the protagonist in “It’s a Wonderful Life” — is all over the place.

There’s the “Bailey Cam,” which records days out on the trail from the 8-month-old pup’s vantage point and is broadcast uploaded to Warren’s Instagram page. The first highlighted Instagram story on her page is represented by a paw print and features photos and videos of Bailey.

Found it.

Also, look at this caption. I can’t deal.

This is what happens to doggies who get in mud puddles—heavy-duty dog washing (and then a nap).

“Hello fellow dog owners! When my dog is dirty, I wash it!” -Elizabeth Warren, basically.

Cue Don Jr.

When you need to make a social media account for your dog to “humanize yourself” you might have some issues. https://t.co/6VZAb0OwxA

Natural dog people don’t have to try to act like natural dog people because THEY ARE DOG PEOPLE. So much of this seems forced, which makes me not like her even more.
