Okay, I know third-party votes can be disastrous, but I’m gonna have to go with Pee-Wee this November.

Nepotism seems to be popular in the Whitehouse these days, so maybe his son could be a running mate. Cobblepot, a name you can depend on.

He has my vote, what with his opponent being a spoiled and petulant rich kid who steals.

I dunno. Remember that time Paulsen split the vote and let Nixon win. /s

Francis’s slogan should be “Where are they hosing him down?” – a line from the movie that still makes me laugh to this day.

These cultural references are perfect for the 70+ . For those who aren’t , “in your guts you know he’s nuts” was a response to Barry Goldwater’s “In your heart you know he’s right” . My dad loved using that expression which is why I’m familiar with it (the former, not the heart one)

In my day (he said in a cartoonish old man voice) we didn’t have Pee-Wee. All we had was Alfred E. Neuman and Pat Paulsen.

I appreciate that I’m kinda out of touch with the modern world, but is $35 for a printed tee the standard rate nowadays?
I mean… he’s a better candidate than the two we have.

Yes, and another button references the “I Like Ike” slogan: “I Like Pee-wee… LIKE!” (Which also references Pee-wee’s Big Adventure)

The button for Francis is blue while Pee Wee’s is red.

Ya, I got that one too, but I didn’t want to date myself too much 
When I was a toddler I was fascinated by the IGY so I saw a lot of Ike I guess in the same publications. also remember the AuH2O64 bumper stickers from '64. I grew up in Canada, but close to the border

If Curtis isn’t available, Tito was always pretty chill.
