It's worth pointing out that the polling was basically tied until the last moments.

I bet the conservative, Andy Sneer-whatever, would be in charge now if he had said "nobody cares about the stupid Alladin costume" the same way Bernie Sanders said "nobody cares about the damned emails".

At this point voters deliberately ignore everything a politician does, unless it's something accidental, impulsive, or counterintuitive, like coming to the defense of your opponent.

But instead, Andrew Queer-whatever pretended to care, like he pretends to care what voters think. Voters didn't pretend to care when "avenge the victims of Alladingate" became the new slogan.
