 I was speaking with the gentleman who makes it. It seems he's come into some fame and official recognition with his efforts and has become a semi-official apparatus of the campaign.

Last night my brother told me he's voting Trump next week.  Rationale was "he's not perfect, but he'll get stuff done."  I think my parents are voting Kasich.  Haven't asked my other brother yet.

What "stuff" does your brother think Trump will get done that appeals to him?

It doesn't matter as long as he will do it.

I don't know, man.  I didn't want that to ruin the basketball we were watching.

And so the great nation of the United States of American descended into ruin for the sake of a good basketball game.

Max and I had an... animated... discussion over lunch today. We have differing opinions on who to vote for in the primaries.  :ph34r:
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Which one of you is for Clinton, and which one of you is for Sanders?

I know Alberta is NDP territory, but I don't know enough about the NDP to know whether it is closer to Sanders or Clinton...

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

He tends toward anti-establishment. I believe that isn't uncommon in Alberta.

If the fate of the country depended on me and my brother, we were doomed long ago.
