if you were properly invited to an event in November would you ever consider showing up with the actual invite in January? This is why they print out guest lists and stuff and have people at the desk giving out "Hi, my name is.." stickers. No one BRINGS AN INVITE with them. It seems obvious to me that Ford KNEW he was not invited and brought the letter, which he knew was withdrawn, just to stick it in their craw and do this little circus. The tweet he sent reads like a little child throwing a tantrum, "But mommmmmy, dadddy said I could goooooo!" "Well, son, that was before we asked you to clean your room and you threw a tantrum." "But mooooooom, dad saaaaaaaid!" It's really mostly sad.
And as for Doug, yeah, I thought we learned a a lot about his campaign management when he 100% denied Ford had been at Steak Queen (most amusingly, saying the video was clearly old since Rob looked fatter than he does now!) and then got immediately contradicted. He went dark the next day and has been largely quiet since. In the meantime, his brother shows up at a serious press conference wearing a bright orange football jersey and is being as childish as ever with what is apparently a key policy plank ("I'm not going to tell you about my $50 million in savings because you're mean and you'll pick on me!")
There's no campaign, there's just Rob doing the same thing as ever. I know some people think he can still win but, call me crazy, I don't see it. What I see is that the man who has been going on and on and on about how the people are going to decide on Oct. 27 is going to have to face some real serious demons when those same people he so loves and trusts leave him unemployed, cutting the last thread he has to his dignity on that very night. (And, on a serious note, I hope he has some people looking out for him when that happens because they're killing him right now...)
