Deez Nuts, the 15-year-old presidential candidate who has attracted national attention after polling better than some Republicans seeking the White House, tried to exercise some political muscle on Saturday, endorsing Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the Democratic presidential primary and Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) in the Republican presidential primary.
Deez Nuts told In These Times that he endorsed Sanders because "he almost completely agrees on me with social issues and even some on fiscal issues.
Deez Nuts, whose real name is Brady Olson, clarified that he was endorsing himself in the general election. He cannot constitutionally be president because he is too young but in a recent Public Policy poll, Deez Nuts polled better than several Republican presidential candidates.

Im a tyrant that you can trust. You should let me run your life because I know what is best for you.
Yes, Im a politician. I will lie to you because I have no reason not to. I will promise your electorate heart anything you desire, because you are my constituents, you are the informed voting public, and I have no invention of keeping any promise that I make.
This election year, vote early, vote often, and remember, a vote for me, Vermin Supreme, is a vote completely thrown away.
My primary policy positions are as follows:
I stand for mandatory toothbrushing laws. Now friends, some people will tell you this mandatory toothbrushing law is about the DNA gene-splicing of winged monkeys to access tooth-training forces. No it is not. Nor is it about the dental reeducation centers. It is not about the preventive dental maintenance detention facilities. It is not about the government-issued toothpaste containing an addictive yet harmless substance. It is not about even the computer chip dental implants to keep track of you and your children. What this mandatory toothbrushing law is really about is strong teeth for a strong America.
Number two, zombie preparedness. America must be prepared for the upcoming zombie invasion. Yes and I am the only candidate who provides such a plan.
Time travel research. I am the only candidate who will go back in time and kill baby Hitler before hes even born.
And last but not least, free ponies for all Americans. Yes its a Free Pony for All Americans Job Act. Just think of the jobs that will be created when all Americans have ponies. Oh yes, for sure. And not only that, but its a federal pony identification system, to identify you for your safety. And it will protect us from terrorists!
Thank you. My name is Vermin Supreme. I approve this message.

(45,251 posts)Who needs super delegates? Bernie has the endorsement of Deez Nuts. This is nothing to sneez at. Deez polled at 7% in North Carolina. That has to be better than Webb and Chafee combined.
Sadly, Deez made clear that his endorsement is good only for the primary. He is leaving his options open as to the general.
I feel Deez. Obviously, Bernie is my candidate. However, if someone put a gun to my head and forced me to pick a Republican, I would probably pick Kasich, though the bullet would be tempting.

(32,106 posts)as well. And then I would vote for Bernie. I don't share Kasich's world view, but at least he comes off as "not crazy" in a group where there are some truly horrible candidates.
