The news coverage of the new Draft Trump 2012 effort by CNN, The Daily Caller, Politco, The New York Daily News and many others is well-deserved. This is a grassroots effort that has truly gone viral, with 50 followers on Facebook, 37 signatures on their petition, and 3 followers on Twitter. Pretty soon, they might have one supporter for each of the red balloons in Nena’s famous song.
Obviously, there is no grassroots support for a Donald Trump candidacy. Americans want leaders who will fight elite plutocrats, not elevate them to the status of Galactic Emperor. That’s why efforts like Draft Trump go nowhere, while in just 24 hours over 14,000 members of the Daily Kos community have signed up to support Elizabeth Warren for Senate.. We need fighters with a proven record of exposing and reigning in Wall Street corruption, not ruthless proto-Nero’s who encrust the master staterooms of their 105-foot yachts with the shells of endangered tortoises.
Let’s make even more of a mockery out of these “grassroots” efforts to Draft Donald Trump than they already make of themselves. Sign the petition to draft Elizabeth Warren for Senate in Massachusetts. Can we reach 15,000 in the next hour?
