That would piss some people off.

Honestly, if Hillary was actually responsible for the Trump campaign I would vote for her in a hot second. That level of cleverness, planning and manipulation is exactly what you want in a president.

Sadly, the fault of Trump’s candidacy falls squarely on GOP voters.

I remember a joke that my old US History teacher told us in high school that is appropriate, but I can’t find out if its true or not.

Supposedly, before being president, Harry Truman’s codename was “Mushroom”. He wasn’t privy to the nuke secrets, so the codename referring to him being kept in the dark and fed shit. That would be appropriate for all of these candidates.

How did the Secret Service know about the Manhattan Project?

I dunno, I’m guessing some had to guard FDR as he toured the Manhattan Project Site? Maybe it was really just a joke and had no basis in fact then

Now that is an interesting question. If FDR visited any of the Manhattan sites, would the SS leave him at the gate and US Army personnel be concerned with his protection?

I would be willing to bet that FDR never visited any of the sights, lest his visit arouse suspicion.

Maybe, if the SS guys didn’t have the security clearance.

I would think they get as many people in the dark as possible. I like the idea that FDR never visited sites so as not to call attention to it. He didn’t have the math anyway. 🙂

Makes sense, what would have been the point? If periodic reports on the Manhattan Project’s progress came across his desk, he would have known all he needed to know about it, all he needed to know about it being, “Are we there yet?!”

I tried to come up with some but they just weren’t as good as what’s been posted.  
Then I decided to do a themed set based on the word “Bag”. I couldn’t come up with everyone but here it goes

Trump – Gasbag  
Fiorina - Two Bag  
Carson - Barf Bag  
Cruz - Douche Bag  
Walker - Tea Bag  
Paul - Bean Bag  
Bush - Baggage  
Christie - Doggie Bag
