Successful president ial candidate of 2016. He had briefly decided that he was going to make a run based on campaignfinance reform before Bernie Sanders made a run on campus on campaignfinance reform. What he is really known for is for being probably the deepest purest of the internet de epest purist of the internet that any of us have ever run into.
