    He ran a fantastic campaign and came up just a little short.

    Who here thought he stood a chance when he threw his hat in the ring. The man has a bright future in politics.

    A bright future? Perhaps. President in 2020? Still think that is a stretch. I’d most likely vote for the air drummer over trump. But that’s the case with most

    Addressing the crowd in Irving, a suburb of Dallas, Reznor first asked: “Who voted for Ted Cruz? See the lights aren’t on, I can’t see. Is there any way to turn the lights on? I’d like to see. Raise your hand, you guys, nothing to be ashamed of, just checking.”

    According to the NIN frontman, Cruz had wanted to check out the concert, but was royally rejected by the band. “He might be here tonight, he was bugging to get on the guest list, and I told him to fuck off,” said Reznor, before relaying an anecdote from a past encounter with Cruz. “We put him on a few years ago, he drank all the beer, and was just a pain in the ass to be around. Can’t hold it against you.”

    Why do you feel the need to mention me?  Obsessed much?  The flattery is overwhelming. /s
    I don’t give two shits about this...Might have been interesting if NIN was going to have Robert Francis airdrum for them or something. But otherwise, I couldn’t care less what Reznor’s opinion is in any realm other than his music.  NIN does put on a pretty trippy stage production...way better than KISS in my opinion.

    I gotta ask...what does "slash-s" (or "/s") mean?  I feel like I see it here and only here.

    Yes, it means sarcasm :). I’ve been trying to throw it in there more since many people interpret everything literally, especially when there is a bit of a language barrier.

    PJSoul kept judging my use of emojis and she brought up the old school /s symbol meaning sarcasm.  So I've been using it a bunch and it looks like others have as well.

    You know the more I think about it and from some stuff I read...

    I think Beto should run for president.  I think he is not the best candidate by any means and I will not vote for him likely in primary (but you never know) but I would vote for him over Trump.  He has the attention now.  Running increases his national presence.  If he catches lightning in a bottle like Obama, he just might be president.  If he doesn't he uses it and the learnings for running in 4-12 years.

    Hell I may vote for a democrat that would only be pissing in the wind and not actually achieving anything...except charismatic speeches (and maybe even marijuana legalization).  Plus I, for one, would welcome the Napoleon Dynamite memes!  Plus Plus, that would take him out of the runnings in TX :)
