Adam Schiff received a hero's welcome (and standing ovation) at the California Democratic Convention in Long Beach today. Elise Stefanik has been tweeting angrily at George Conway.
Who's having the better day?
Maybe we should have seen this coming after Elise's histrionics at Friday's impeachment hearing. Particularly since we took two minutes in the middle of the afternoon to urge fellow tweeters to donate to Tedra Cobb, our Democratic candidate here in New York's 21st Congressional District. Our Twitter account promptly sagged under the weight of likes and notifications.
But that was just a tiny sliver of the Interwebs' throwdown of Elise Stefanik, which still shows no signs of slowing down. In 24 hours, Tedra Cobb has racked up $535,473 in 21,900 contributions, one of which was $2,800 — the legal maximum — from Conway. Yes, Kellyanne's husband. That so unnerved Elise that she got in a Twitter fight with him, misspelling "misogynist" along the way. (Didn't she go to Harvard?)
How many House challengers in 2018 raised half a million dollars in a day? Is the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee taking note? We sure hope so. Elise, for her part, is begging for money off this as well, going after Schiff and the "socialist Democrats" and making an even bigger fool of herself. Meanwhile, Tedra is challenging Twitter to get her past $1 million before the weekend's out. If you'd like to donate, click here. We cats PURR.
(IMAGE: As we said, this photo can't be real. The woman in this picture looks too thin to be Elise.)
UPDATE, 11:45 PM: Tedra Cobb has raised $650,000 and has set a goal of $1 million before the end of the weekend. We'll keep tabs (and maybe shoot a few more bucks her way).
UPDATE #2, Sunday, 4:40 PM: Tedra Cobb is $100,000 away from her target of $1 million. We cats just kicked in another contribution. You can, too. Click!
UPDATE #3, Sunday, 7:30 PM. Tedra has hit $975,000. We think she's going to do this.
