... anyone who doesn't have an internet history will be regarded with extreme suspicion.

The hook-handed one-eyed Republican Presidential candidate will have several "Hold my beer and watch this..." YouTube videos to his credit, and the Democratic candidate will have "kissing girlfriends" pictures with the woman she's married to.

There will be an Independent candidate who has no internet history and the personality of a dead fish, but he'll only win Florida and no one will know why.

Most of the nation will vote for the family values Democrat, with only a few states supporting the "Yes, I'd like to hold his beer" Republican.

Hope I'm around to witness it. I'll be older than dirt but it's possible!

There are no bad pics of me on the internet, only admissions that I'll stand by then.

In the 60s or 70s not everyone had a camera on them at all times. There was not one phone per person.

It was merely not getting caught.
