Who Wins Political Kid Halloween? 'Pierre Delecto,' Baby Unicorn, Or Baby Shark? (Duh, Babies ALWAYS Win)
BABIES!
It's time again for Halloween, that kids' holiday coopted by adults, which makes perfect sense since they have far more buying power. And so we bring you a brief collection of politicians' kids' costumes, or costumes of politicians, or just whatever, because it's the end of the day and we don't have to buy candy at all because in 14 years at this location no one has EVER trick-or-treated here. Apartments rule.
Mitt Romney is such a doofus, but his grandkids seem to have some fun! Check out this excellent "Pierre Delecto" get-up!
Thomas as #PierreDelecto and Joe as Nacho. World beware. https: //t.co/3SstDeyvwb

It's almost as good as this 2012 political dog costume we found online, the "revenge of Seamus":
But wait! There's More! Here's former South Carolina state Rep. Bakari Sellers's adorable twins Sadie and Stokely, and they win everything because we say so! You may notice that little Sadie, in the unicorn outfit, has an oxygen tube going to her nose; that is because she is recovering very nicely indeed from a liver transplant just last month, thanks to a very fine human being who donated a bit of their own liver to save Sadie's life.
Cancel Halloween. We have won all the costume contest this year. Cc: @EllenRucker #Sadie #Stokely #BeAnOrganDonor https://t.co/7ExMkbAfSH

Donald and Melon put candy bars on the "head" of a kid in a Minions outfit, and the candy bars slid off. Maybe the kid, who couldn't see what was going on, got a replacement. Maybe not. But the little girl who raced to catch the falling candy bars for herself is probably going to get an appointment to a federal job (god we are so mean).
Trump put Halloween candy on a kid’s head. So, Melania did too. My lord, these people are effing idiots. https: //t.co/3KSlUo2u4E

For some reason, some people think Barack Obama did Halloween a lot better:

As far as we can tell, the only member of Congress to show up in costume was Katie Porter, who dressed as Batperson. The NRCC said it was unserious, but we say BatPeople pursue justice, or at least they did before Frank Miller made all comics grimdark forever. But that's another discussion.
interesting that nrcc is attacking katie porter for *checks notes* wearing a halloween costume on halloween. https: //t.co/SfmcnIBn3u

The Library of Congress did Halloween, too. Outside, shhh.
Happy Halloween from outside the library of congress! @cronkitenews https: //t.co/UwICMmqBrz

As for costumes representing politicians, we hear British kids are dressing up as Boris Johnson, because weird and scary, and the Moonie Times has done the annual bitchfest about how no white kids get to be Indian Princesses anymore and there are literally no other costume options available.
We like this costume a lot:
The “Getting Deported by Trump” #Halloween Costume” is 👌🏽 https: //t.co/SUofsDKZs8

Professional sled dog musher Blair Braverman (you should follow her! ) dressed her dog Flame as Elizabeth Warren, and then Flame redistributed the treats.
Flame is @ewarren for Halloween. https: //t.co/UgWXBw7mLs

We are kidding because we're sure Ms. Braverman already practices treat equity.
Also, a Wonkfan wanted to call attention to their friend's excellent costume:

But isn't it somehow wrong and unseemly to be dragging politics into this fun, frivolous holiday? Historians would like to remind you all that's not really new AT ALL:

And finally, thanks to NASA, we can congratulate the Space Shuttle astronauts who in 1998 used a couple of photographs of their crewmate John Glenn to make the laziest costumes ever to experience microgravity.
We don’t blame astronauts Steve Lindsay and Curt Brown for both dressing up as crew mate John Glenn for #Halloween… https: //t.co/qWtGmIJTLV

Low Earth Orbit, Low Effort! You high-tech guys lost to a couple of BABIES, how about that?
Happy Halloween, Wonkers, and stay the hell off my lawn. This is your OPENTHREAD GRAVE!!!!

"political risks for her presidential candidacy"
I read that as "we are going to do our very best to ratfuck her right out of winning the primary, and failing that we're all in on trump even if he gets impeached and removed, because fuck you."
Yeah, that annoys me. If they don't have the integrity to be identified, Rebecca needs to fix the mess. And I was downfisted for saying an elected official could be not-re-elected if her district didn't like what she did.
