Nope. They would both be gay black Marxist Nazi commie atheist Muslim pedophiles who weren’t born in the US and don’t have birth certificates.

In 2008, Romney was first and McCain was a very very close second. So that year the poll was pretty predictive but certainly not absolute. But really, how good is the Iowa caucus? Or New Hampshire? This is a bit like that, an early indicator. Of course, this year’s will not be as important as next year’s.

Eventually they will BOTH be marxist commie pedophile sodomites (according to each other)

*And by “greater” I clearly mean “more ridiculous.”
