May I introduce you to the platform of former General Wesley S. MacGuffin (I-NC)?
✓ 90% tax rate on the richest 1%
✓ Death penalty for pedophiles
✓ National ban on pit bulls
✓ Corporal punishment for drug offenders
✓ School uniforms
✓ National ban on Right to Work
✓ Unilateral withdrawal from NATO
✓ Re-introduction of the gray wolf to every state in the continental US
✓ Moratorium on wind development
✓ Raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour
✓ Make politicians dress like NASCAR drivers
This one looks like a real winner!
