Des Moines Democrat Sean Bagniewski had no idea he would end up in a top-secret-turned-viral video with Hillary Clinton as she announced her 2016 candidacy for president. Bagniewski, 31, was a committed volunteer for Clinton's 2008 Iowa presidential campaign, so it didn't surprise him too much when a camera crew approached him about doing some video on Clinton's prospects for 2016.

"They said they were personally Hillary supporters, but there's no campaign yet, and they just wanted to talk to Iowans who may be supportive of her," Bagniewski told The Des Moines Register on Sunday. The film crew was from Hardpin Media, the firm that did the cinematography and video live-streaming for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign. "So they seemed legit," he said.

West Des Moines Democrat Julie Stauch also had no idea where the footage would end up of herself talking about how her tomatoes are legendary in her own neighborhood. "They said they were doing some video concepts, but they didn't say what it was for," Stauch told the Register on Sunday afternoon. "They asked me a bunch of questions, so I could see it could go many different ways."

Stauch also got a tip-off phone call just as the video went live on Clinton's new campaign website. As for Clinton's news, "I'm thrilled," Stauch said. "I supported her before. I think she's 10 times better now because of all the additional experiences she's had."

1. No actors, no German stock photos ?????

Does this mean that Democrats have real live 'normal' people supporting them, not just bought and paid for people?

3. Wait, there was doubt about this?

What the ever loving fuck did anyone expect? Paid actors making shit up? That would've blown up in Clinton's face so fucking bad. I mean, really. That's amateur hour thinking there.
