Have you ever been around people in public places who talk so loudly into their cell phones that it sounds like they are shouting? Sometimes they actually are shouting. Meanwhile they are usually unaware of how annoying they are to people around them. However, one such overly loud cell phone talker got his just rewards when political secrets were apparently revealed. The culprit was one Josh Alcorn, a Joe Biden adviser. As hilariously chronicled in a Taiwanese Animators video, Alcorn's loud mouth on a cell phone while traveling on an Amtrak train, revealed in detail to all around him what Biden's 2016 presidential plans are. The full title of the video is "Joe Biden is 100% in: Loudmouth advisor Josh Alcorn can’t keep secret on Amtrak train."
The National Review revealed in detail just what Alcorn's fellow annoyed Amtrak passengers heard him screaming into his cell phone:
...Another passenger said that Alcorn was being loud enough in the café car to make it hard to work. He said that Alcorn had said on one call, “I am 100 percent that Joe is in.” He was less certain of when Biden would announce, but guessed it would be in mid-October. Alcorn’s own plans to travel to California in early October would have to be canceled if Biden announced earlier.
The other passenger said that Alcorn said that test ads were doing well in converting Hillary Clinton supporters to Biden supporters, and that money had been lined up to come in right before the announcement. He had just had breakfast with Jim Torrey, an Obama bundler, whom he described as wanting to be “the Penny Pritzker” of the Biden campaign. Pritzker was the national finance chair of Obama’s 2008 campaign and is now the Secretary of Commerce.
Alcorn, according to this passenger, was less confident about New Hampshire, which was described as a challenge requiring the deployment of resources. At one point during his calls Alcorn said that the plan was to come in second in Iowa, finish respectably in New Hampshire, and then win Nevada and South Carolina.
...Alcorn did not deny that he had made the comment.
The best thing about the Taiwanese animation was not so much the revelation that Biden was sure to run but the public humiliation of a cell phone loudmouth.
