The 2016 Democratic National Convention was inspiring, tough and cohesive, and it ended with the nominee and her running mate playing with balloons. A crucial part of any well-run campaign to be sure.
There were red balloons, white balloons, and blue balloons obviously, but also balloons of all different sizes, AND big blue bouncy balls with white stars on them. When you’ve tried pretty much everything else, raining down assorted novelty items becomes a totally reasonable attempt to address Hillary’s “likability problem.” Here are some of our favorite DNC balloon moments.
