2020 Campaign Fails Bloomberg

Mike Bloomberg Shakes a Dog's Snout
It's hard to tell if Bloomberg intentionally fails at petting this dog or if he is so rich he hasn't touched a dog in years. Either way, please don't grab a dog by the snout and shake it unless you want to be on a political fails list.

Elizabeth Warren Refusing to Shake Bernie Sanders' Hand
One of the biggest campaign trail fails was this moment between Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. This eighth-grade move hurt Warren more than the fact that she tweeted she was Native American and then deleted it much, much later. Just behave like adults if you want to be president, please.

Beto O'Rourke Visits the Dentist
Using social media to reach out to your base and connect is a great idea. Not a great idea is streaming your trip to the dentist, which is exactly what Beto O'Rourke did and his big ol' chompers really weirded people out.

But while he said both flags were on display 24/7, the pride flag still had creases from being folded up. Like, if you're going to lie, at least iron the damn flag so you can get away with it.

Kirsten Gillibrand Plays Beer Pong With Water
Trying to seem relatable to millennials means pretending to be a party douche. Gillibrand's campaign used video of her sinking a toss at beer pong to ask for campaign donations, but the cup was filled with water and the whole thing was a sham. This is just another reminder to be authentic. If you're not actually playing beer pong, it's not beer pong. You're just throwing a ball into a cup of water. Uncool to the max.

Elizabeth Warren Thanks Her Husband For Having a Beer
In one of the strangest social media blunders, Elizabeth Warren did a live stream from her home. That's not the weird part. She then proceeded to have a beer with her husband and thanked him for doing so. If drinking beer with your husband isn't a stunt, you probably don't have to thank him, you know?
