Well This Is Nuts --- RNC will attempt to beat Hillary with GIANT RED SQUIRREL.

The RNC's Newest Anti-Hillary Weapon Is a Giant Orange Squirrel
Meet HRC Squirrel. It has its own Twitter account:




And the Republican National Committee was there to respond. Rival political factions turning up at events isn't a rare occurrence, but the RNC unveiled a new strategy with an…interesting bent. It was the debut of the HRC Squirrel: A person walking around in a bright orange squirrel suit. Tailed by four RNC staffers, the squirrel wandered around giving high-fives to the folks in line, who generally seemed to get a kick out of the odd scene. The squirrel has a Twitter handle and a donation page where anti-Clintonites can get bumper stickers that say "Another Clinton in the White House is Nuts."

That nutty joke was the gist of the attack, making it a little unclear that the furry was there to rebuke the attendees' favorite Democrat.
