So it seems that what's his name is campaigning at us...
Who? You might ask?
Deez Nuts.
That's right... Deez Nuts.
An independent named Deez Nuts, filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission Sunday. He joined more than 500 other people who have done the same. Wednesday was a big day for Deez Nuts, rising in polls; at 9 percent in N.C.. In a Public Policy Polling, voters in North Carolina were asked: “If the candidates for President next year were Democrat Hillary Clinton, Republican Donald Trump, and independent Deez Nuts, who would you vote for?” respondents in North Carolina voted Trump 40%, Clinton 38%, and Nuts 9%.
Deez Nuts have won 9% of the vote as an independent - which, on top of recent results of 8% in Minnesota and 7% in Iowa from previous polls, makes him what experts confirmed is the most successful independent candidate for president in two decades, and is now putting up the best third-party numbers since Ross Perot.
I hope we can put Deez Nuts up on the wall with the other presidents in 2016. Deez Nuts might be just what our country needs.
