    They thought it was pretty funny though. You guys should promote that as slang.

    So wait, the republican ticket just translates to "Fart Money" in the UK?

    Since Trump has such small hands, his tiny fists should give him an advantage to slip through his opponent's defenses; unfortunately for Trump, he has to stop squinting to actually see which opponent he should be attacking.

    Two months ago, Tampa, FL-based SPARK published on its online quarterly publication a conceptual, speculative identity for 2016 Libertarian Party U.S. presidential nominee, Gary Johnson. In the short time since, his campaign has adopted the concept without consent (aka “stolen the work”) from Spark. Instead of just accusing them of plagiarism, SPARK has made the identity’s assets available for them to download and at least do it right.

    A libertarian stealing assets? Inconceivable!

    His tiny hands focus the momentum into a much smaller area. Just like Ant-Man, but just for his hands.

    Ant-Manos, if you will.

    In a similar vein there is a local realtor named Dick Pratt, presumably he works with Butt Jerk back at the office

    The alligator trying to eat my family would definitely be a power move

    I'd have to respect that

    Well I suppose Id have to gather data from a large group of people maybe ask them "who you'd vote for if the election was today". "Polling" them if you will. Then Id organize it into a chart of some kind.

    I call it Talkcharting

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    I'd rather go toe-to-toe with a live and hungry alligator than vote for Trump. At least the apex predator will eventually, you know, stop eating everything it sees and lie down for a nap; Trump has a constant hunger for attention that cannot be sated.

    Pretty sure the correct answer is "Old people who have nothing better to do than answer political calls".

    I was told during my brief stint as a telemarketer that "Old people are usually lonely and just want someone to talk to, if you sound friendly they'll talk forever and are an easy sale"

    I mean most left leaning people are my age or younger and dont do anything he tweeted ( dinnertime as a thing we do basically vanished in my early teens for example)so Id argue polls either go for older technophobe conservatives or maybe polling doesnt work like he thinks

    If you require cognitive dissonance to maintain your party platform, losing grip on reality is an inevitability.

    Absolutely, especially with trump seeding the narrative that everything will be rigged against him because he can read numbers and he knows how to shield his ego against a likely loss

    And then if he somehow wins then he did so despite the corruption and lying polls so its an even bigger personal boost

    I have it on good (Facebook meme) authority that the left can afford dinner. They buy it with their EBT cards and food stamps paid for by all the employeed bootstrappy Republicans.

    I wonder who's going to be playing the role of Karl Rove this year, and have a televised meltdown when they realize that the "unbiased" bubble they spent the last 3 months building just popped.

    EDIT: I mean besides Trump. I mean, obviously he's going to lose his shit and that'll be amazing. I'm talking about the "respected GOP head" who just watches his life crumble.
