Hillary Clinton Relaunches Campaign Next To Crumbling Insane Asylum

....and other failed optics of the new Clinton campaign as seen by a millennial attending the rally.

Why POLITICO called Roosevelt Island's history "rocky."

New York City acquired the island (then called Blackwell Island) in 1828, and used it for a prison, insane asylum, workhouse, smallpox hospital, "and other Dickensian horror," according to the New York Times.

Analogies abound - "Structure is unstable," reads the no trespassing sign.

Sounds a little bit like Hillary's support base, with her trustworthiness ratings taking a tumble.

Not on Hill's team? Enjoy this corral.

Because nothing says bipartisanship like placing your opponents inside a metal cage held tight with police tape.

Full-ish?

While the TV coverage and the official campaign shots made the event look packed, there were several overflow areas that were void of supporters. Not to mention the live-stream party for Iowa supporters that saw a whole five people show up to watch the relaunch. Momentum? I don't think so.

Coming Out Party

As the rally was wrapping up, we busted out our #SHADY shades and anti-big government swag, revealing what most around us probably assumed to be: we're conservatives incognito. The press quickly wanted to know the how and why.

Who you gonna call? NYPD.

After the camera stopped recording the previous interview, one of New York's finest informed us that she would have to take the signs or we would have to leave, so we were escorted off.

Don't tell Al Gore.

Clearly Hillary's campaign doesn't share Gore's convictions about protecting the planet. Also somewhat related, NYC was supposed to be underwater this summer according to the ignored climate scientists Hillary praised in her speech.

Freedom and The Press

After leaving the cordoned off area, we were free to resume our stand-in protest/selfie-fest, and more media found us.
