A listener visiting Iowa a week ago spotted this sign at a community center hosting a Jay Inslee rally in Grimes, Iowa.

Governor Inslee’s name is listed after three birthday parties, a baby shower, and a family reunion.

The listener wrote that when he walked into the community center room where Inslee was scheduled to speak, about a dozen senior citizens had turned out for the big event.

This was the same weekend as the Iowa State Fair — where, incidentally, out of the 66,000 people who participated in the corn kernel poll, Jay Inslee once again got 0 percent.

He continues to spend millions of dollars on the Washington State Patrol security detail so that he can travel around the country on this failing campaign.

Democratic debate exposes hypocrisy, failure of Inslee campaign
