Well, 50 years ago, the party nominees were decided by party bosses and functionaries in the proverbial “smoke-filled rooms.” Today the nominees are chosen by the American People.

Decide for yourself who did a better job.

Bald, yes.

Comb-over, no.

Toupe, only if I don’t know it’s a toupe.

We’ve got a bald guy for PM. I didn’t vote for him but some people must’ve.

Good God no! I’d _never_ vote for a bald guy. Bald people are invariably incompetent, bumbling idiots who care more about lining their pockets than the good of mankind. If a bald guy ever became a national leader, I _guarantee_ to you that we’d all die horrible, horrible deaths.

Bearded men, on the other hand, are fine.
