Gotta love this ad. "Look who you're empowering by voting for Trump!" "Now help Trump win by voting for me"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but votes for Evan McMullin are drawing mostly from people who'd otherwise vote Trump, right? Voting for him isn't really helping Trump win.

Fine. It's a half a vote for Trump. If he really viewed Trump as an existential threat he should be telling his supporters to vote for Clinton.

What's "trending" on Facebook depends on what kinds of stories you look at and what your friends are sharing, among other things. It's not showing up on mine, for instance.

I feel like if you feel bad for a brown girl getting horrible racist poo poo screamed at her you're probably more likely to vote for a democrat than at least 90% of republicans.

Yes, the monkey statue was only solvable one in ten times. From the front the pieces all looked like they would fit easily, but there were several statues and they mixed up the parts so they wouldn't click together properly in the back. It's a neatly packaged little lesson in what it means when a majority of people are failing at something that looks "so easy" from your perspective.

How is this even possible? There's three pieces, all clearly different. Like, if the reason is the kids are a mental and emotional wreck, that's fine, but there's no reason for it to also be literally unsolvable. After the Quiz Show Scandals of the 50s, game shows are heavily regulated to prevent this sort of thing.

They hate liberal secularism but they are gonna vote for the guy who has been married 3 times and who's philandering has been all over the papers, who runs objectifying beauty pageants and rates women from 1 to 10 on Howard Stern while talking about wanting to date his daughter. Mormons who vote for Trump can gently caress off.

My understanding is that while a good portion of male mormons will still vote for Trump there is a massive amount of mormon women who won't.

Like I said, it looks like three simple monkey pieces on the front, but on the back they're puzzle pieces that have to slot together. All they had to do was swap up Monkey Head A with Monkey Head B. The reason for it to be literally unsolvable was, as I and several other people said, to save on prize money. FCC prize regulations aren't difficult to comply with - it could have been as simple as randomizing which episode got the solvable monkey.

As I recall, McMullin's campaign is basically just an attempt to get mormons to have an alternate to Trump to make Hillary competitive in Utah.

It doesn't appear to be working anymore.

Eh, if enough of them don't vote for Trump and divvy it up between Johnson and McMullan they're effectively doing the same thing as "everyone who's not Mormon" is probably voting for Hilary. Salt Lake actually went for Obama in the last 2 elections.

Well no, they were all kids because Nickelodeon is a channel for kids. Running a bunch of game shows with adult contestants would just be weird.

But everyone who got onto the taping still won some sort of prize regardless of how well they did in the games proper. So the other prizes were just extra stuff.

If you hadn't done a clean sweep of all the previous games sometimes the temple guards would just jump out and make you lose, and it wasn't a failure on your part or a bad decision, they just said "you lose!"
