IWS 236: RESULTS

[lighthousekeeper]

Without further ado...

1. Every politician needs to have their "most important / top priority" platform. The one that is promised to be addressed on day 1 of going into office. On what one-or-two-word topic is Stupid's "top priority" platform?


Great spread on this question...

5 Immigration
4 Fight terrorism/ISIS
4 Lowering taxes
3 Economy
1 Syrian refugees
1 deficit
1 priorities
1 security threat
1 gun control
1 obamacare
1 abortion


2. Every politician needs a popular running mate. Stupid figures that Americans love sports, so he will select a former well-respected athlete that will help Stupid's chances of winning the most. Who does Stupid select?

Stupid would allow a known gambler into the White House!? Hopefully you will at least forbid the Hitler 'stache until after the election. Regardless, a known gambler is better than a known murderer (OJ).

12 Michael Jordan
2 Derek Jeter
2 Brett Favre
2 Magic Johnson
1 Arnold Schwarzeneggar
1 Michael Strahan
1 Cal Ripkin
1 Peyton Manning (ouch)
1 OJ Simpson (!)

3. Uh oh, just as Stupid's campaign picks up steam, he inexplicably Tweets "Declare war on ____________? Yeah...why the hell not - they need a good ass kicking!" To which country is Stupid referring?

7 Russia
4 Mexico
4 Canada
3 Syria
2 ISIS
1 North Korea
1 Israel
1 China


4. That ill-advised Tweet, in addition to several other profanity laden Tweets on topics ranging from Comcast to buffalo wings to Michael J Fox, lead the former athlete running rate to bow out. This time, Stupid decides to pick a female running mate. Stupid is somehow surging in the polls, so the choices are wide open. Hillary, Fiorina, and Palin (Trump's new running mate) are obviously not possible choices. So which female does Stupid select?

Wow - a 3 way tie for most common answer here.

5 Elizabeth Warren
5 Michele Obama
5 Oprah
3 Condy Rice
2 Kim Kardashian
1 Michelle Bachmann
1 Megyn Fox (trying to play to the fofc psyche?)
1 Kate Upton (ditto)


5. People hate it when government is inefficient, Stupid reasons. So Stupid promises that if elected, he will disband a government agency/bureau/office. What is it?

I was surprised at the results here, as I would have gone with TSA or NSA. You people just want to watch the country burn.

11 IRS
4 Dept. of Education
1 FBI
1 HUD
1 ATF
1 EPA
1 DMV
1 NSA
1 Treasury
1 Immigration agency


6.People hate it when other people are richer than them, Stupid reasons. So Stupid promises that if elected, a new tax bracket on income over $1,000,000 will be taxed at the following ___% rate.

The absolute eliminator and just a bad question. It was too easy to go with 50 (...well for most)

16 50%
3 100%
1 45%
1 30%
1 25%
1 20%

Congrats panerd!

[MIJB#19]

I thought 50% was too rich, even as the obvious round number...

But question 5 was the eliminator for me anyway.

[QuikSand]

rats, warm bucket of spit

[timmae]

nailed it. Well, the revers eof it. Arghhh..

What does it say about me when I don't even know who Elizabeth Warren is?

[britrock88]

Not enough people thought of the old line, "It's the economy, Stupid."

[Umbrella]

Dang it, I was going to say IRS, but then the tax question was next, and I changed my answer. I mean, how can you collect 50% without the IRS? That's what I get for overthinking it.

Good IWS.

[EagleFan]

I over thought number two. Strahan is everywhere and we'll liked. Thought he would be the perfect choice.

Not sufficiently Stupid for this game, but an insightful response under other circumstances.

Good IWS.

I think Stupid sees the tax question upcoming and suddenly has the idea of the IRS for the previous answer.

[MIJB#19]

btw, congrats, panerd!

I talked with Quiksand (since he came in 2nd) and he is going to run it. I had a few things come up that would making tabulation take me a long time.

[Izulde]

Wow. 3rd place is my best finish ever.

[Young Drachma]

Drats

[QuikSand]

I'll try to gin one up today. I'm out of practice, and honestly plain forgot that I agreed to run this one.
