Let’s be honest. Both major party candidates suck. However, whatever your views, it is always a blast to listen to the almost joke worthy remarks that our possible presidents-to-be have said. As a young adult embracing the responsibility of expressing my right to vote, trying to take Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton seriously has proven to be a difficult task. Hell, who could take Ted Cruz or Bernie Sanders seriously either? You are probably trying to guess what party I DO support. I was raised in a republican household, but my morals scream democrat. That being said, I have always been able to see positive attributes in both major parties.
In fact, I have decided to play a game of “Who The F*ck Said That?” Below are quotes that our major party candidates have actually said in the past – with a few curveballs. The answers can be found at the very end of this article. Grab a piece of paper and a pencil. Can you guess them all?
1. "Put this [helicopter] on the ground! I left my sunglasses in the limo. I need those sunglasses. We need to go back!"
2. “Where is the G*damn f**king flag! I want the G*damn f**king flag up every morning at f**king sunrise."
3. “It’s freezing and snowing in New York – we need global warming.”
4. "We have a lot of kids who don't know what work means. They think work is a four-letter word."
5. “Number one, I have a great respect for women. I was the one that really broke the glass ceiling on behalf of women, more than anybody in the construction industry.”
6. “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”
7. “Free trade is terrible. Free trade can be wonderful if you have smart people. But we have stupid people.”
8. "Who is going to find out? These women are trash. Nobody’s going to believe them."
9. “I have so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I am a traditionalist.”
10. "Marriage has got historic, religious and moral content that goes back to the beginning of time, and I think a marriage is as a marriage has always been, between a man and a woman.”
11. “In my view, it is unacceptable that Americans are paying a $5 fee each time they go to the ATM.”
12. “My fingers are long and beautiful, as, it has been documented, are various other parts of my body.”
13. "No. We just can't trust the American people to make those types of choices ... Government has to make those choices for people."
14. “You have to know who you are before you become it.”
15. “[Transgender people] should use the bathroom they think is appropriate.”
Feel like you lost brain cells? Me too. At least I was able to leave off those quotes on a positive note. Now, without further ado, the answers:
1. Hillary. 2. Hillary. 3. Trump. 4. Hillary. 5. Trump. 6. Trump. 7. Trump. 8. Hillary. 9. Trump. 10. Hillary. 11. Bernie. 12. Trump. 13. Hillary. 14. Kanye West. 15. Trump.
