Hatalmas bajban van a magyarországi baloldal. Katasztrofálisan indult a kampányuk, gyakorlatilag az elmúlt fél évük egy vesszőfutás. Hosszas szerencsétlenkedés után sikerült megválasztaniuk főbohócnak – Oszkó Pétert idézve – egy „futóbolondot”, aki naponta vérig sérti a fél országot, illetve romba dönti a baloldal stratégiáját.
