Vance _really_ doesn’t like non-parents. Turns out he had also floated this “idea”. (The link goes to AOL.)

> “The Democrats are talking about giving the vote to 16-year-olds, but let’s do this instead,” Vance said in the speech. “Let’s give votes to all children in this country, but let’s give control over those votes to the parents of those children. When you go to the polls in this country as a parent, you should have more power.”

Also, if he argues that this picture is real, I’ll argue that his fingers are crossed (and what kind of weirdo crossed their fingers like that).

I am having a hard time telling who that is under that bad makeup. Is it Dana Carvey? Or perhaps Jiminy Glick?
