    Who'll Be Last One Standing?

    Voted for Fats. I'll be wrong no doubt.
  8. It's horrific. Trump: Everything's a disaster. I will fix it. I'm proud not to have paid taxes to fix things. I will cut taxes for people like me and pay off the deficit with the resulting cash bonanza. Clinton: *blinks* I know how things work. I will make things better. I will heal the country but call a ton of Americans irredeemable. I've seen how presidents work and I will be the same kind of President that has failed America for years. Is the Libertarian standing in every state? May we be saved from either?
