Probably a 1-15 receptacle based on the way he is dressed.

ADDED: Story from my youth; When I was 5 years old I found a doorbell button and an electrical cord. Wired the doorbell to the two leads of the cord, plugged it in, pushed the button and turned out the lights. My first electrical experiment.

he [says he] wants to end cronyism. Hillary is the definition of it.

Well trumps fault is that he does tend to read hitlers quotes as his own sooo thats why its a problem.

Agreed on hillary being no better.

First year for this experiment via Slate or Vice News. Nice analysis of the early vote and, to an extent, exit polling.

According to the supervisor of elections, over 48% of registered voters voted early in this county. The other 62% are expected to vote today.

That makes sense and accounts for the 10% of double voting...

Or maybe Trump could be talking about all the Democrats that are jobless. Although, to be unemployed, you actually have to be looking for work.
