The big political news yesterday didn’t actually revolve around Rand Paul and his various temper tantrums. “Sources” revealed to multiple outlets that Hillary Clinton is finally ready to officially announce her candidacy. Reportedly, she’s going to announce first on social media (like her @HillaryClinton Twitter) and then maybe do a speech or something? Which is funny, because by announcing this weekend, she’s stealing Rand Paul’s post-announcement bump AND she’s stealing Marco Rubio’s thunder, because he was all set to announce on Monday.

Sources also say it’s looking more like she’s going to announce on Sunday. Which has already been set aside by many, many people as GAME OF THRONES DAY. I actually feel sorry for all the political reporters who are also GoT nerds. Instead of taking a disco nap to prepare for #WinterIsComing, they’ll have to spend the day recapping Hillary’s inevitability and various conspiracy theories about how she could possibly lose. Why does Hillary Clinton hate Game of Thrones nerds? Why is she trying to steal Arya Stark’s thunder as well as Marco Rubio’s?

There’s some method to the timing of the announcement though – Clinton’s staff just leased office space in Brooklyn, and there are election/campaign rules about spending campaign money on campaign space without officially announcing your candidacy. Clinton had to announce sooner rather than later.

So, are you looking forward to Hillary Clinton’s candidacy? Or are you more psyched about Game of Thrones? #ClintonIsComing #TheNightIsDarkAndFullOfHillarys
