We care little about Dean Phillips, the Democratic Minnesota Congressman who’s attempting to be a viable primary alternative to Joe Biden in the presidential race–so little that before he announced his candidacy he was mentioned on National Zero just once. And after his candidacy announcement, he’s been mentioned in just six stories–only three of which he was the main subject.
We mention this to remind you that Dean Phillips still exists, something the people of Manchester, New Hampshire apparently didn’t realize or didn’t care about on Tuesday morning, as NBC News reports, because none of them showed up for Phillips’ “Coffee Conversations” event held outside the Doubletree Hotel. With his schmaltzy “Government Repair Truck,” Phillips sat with a supply of Dunkin’ as no one asked him about his economic plan or his solution to rising housing prices because he’s polling in single digits in the state.
