"Rat at the presidential debates" Voice: Candidate Rat, if you could, please sum up why you are running for President in under fifty words. Rat: Sure.

Actually, Rat’s honesty is refreshing. I don’t think he’s politician material.

I guess when it comes to Rat, enumeration of his words means as much as the inherent vituperation of all others in them. So it seems with all politicians: we parse their utterances to our own liking. Maybe it all is a comic strip.

Sure=1This campaign is about me=5Thirty five “mes”=35And God bless me=4That’s 45 words, four more could be added and still be under 50. How am I wrong?

oh dear ME. the problem with candidates from my angle is they don’t talk about ‘me’ they talk smack about or criticize everyone else’s ‘me’ – so that nobody knows what a ‘me’ will do – only what they don’t like about all the other ’me’s.so for those who are interested in what a ‘me’ might do, we only have second hand info from second hand sources who spend their time guessing what their ‘me’ or the other ‘me’ will do!thus as in the last few elections we get a ‘me’ with pretty much unknown quality and no advancement for anyone other than the other ’me’s.

Rat does an uncanny impersonation of Trump.

Manuscript length in words: Count the characters and divide by either five or six (there’s two ways to do it).Happy to help! ;-p

Rat, you’re stealing The Drumpf’s platform. I suggest you watch it – he’s likely to threaten suit [but not, of course, carry through…].

MAKE AMERICA HATE AGAIN!

Rat runs a clever campaign there, in just 45 words! He appeals to Objectivists, Evangelicals, those seeking honest Leadership, and other disaffected eligible voters as well. Rat could even win!

Looking forward to the republican candidates wearing the flag top hat. Flag buttons are for people who hate America.
