    Keep in mind that this is North Carolina. Things don't really matter at this point, but yeah, they do hypotheticals of candidate vs candidate and most (not all) of the Republican contenders poll in front of Clinton by a couple of points. Interestingly though, if Trump didn't get the nomination and ran as an independent, then Clinton ends up polling ahead.

    Presidential candidate named 'Deez Nuts' polling at 9% among North Carolina voters; unmasked as 15-year-old Iowa boy


    [rquoter] The 2016 race for the Republican presidential nomination is officially nuts — "Deez Nuts."

    The race, which already comprises 17 major candidates, got an additional entrant this week who has fashioned his name after an infamous rap song.

    A person named "Deez Nuts" filed official paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to run for President Sunday, CBS News reported, joining more than 500 other random contenders who have the legal right to run for the presidency.

    More shockingly, however, is how well Nuts, who is running as an independent, is faring in the key state of North Carolina, where, according a to a Public Policy Polling poll, the mysterious figure got the support of 9% of likely voters.

    Nuts, of Wallingford, Iowa, also got the support of 8% of likely voters in Minnesota and 7% in of likely voters in Iowa, the poll found.

    Nuts has not yet filed any campaign contributions with the FEC, the Washington Times reported.

    Nuts registered under a name known widely as the sixth track on Dr. Dre's critically acclaimed 1992 album "The Chronic."

    The song, titled "Deeez Nuuuts" contains a bevy of sexually explicit lyrics laid over a catchy beat.

    On Wednesday afternoon, the suddenly popular candidate was unmasked as a 15-year-old boy from rural Iowa.

    "When I heard about the Limberbutt McCubbins story, I realized I could,” Brady Olson told The Daily Beast, referring to another notorious fake candidate.“The next step is to get some party nominations, like the Minnesota Independence Party or the Modern Whig Party. t would also be great to find a VP, preferably McCubbins because the Nuts/McCubbins ticket sounds amazing.”


    At least 512 people have formally filed a statement of candidacy for the 2016 presidential election with the Federal Election Commission, according to CBS News.[/rquoter]

    And if you didn't hear about Limberbutt McCubbins.

    http://wfpl.org/louisville-cat-running-for-president-seriously-sort-of/

    [rquoter]The first thing people noticed was the name.

    A Louisville resident named Limberbutt McCubbins had apparently filed to run for president, gaining attention in recent months from a campaign watchdog and, most recently, The Rachel Maddow Show.

    It’s not entirely clear whether everyone realized that Limberbutt McCubbins is a cat.

    In an interview, Isaac Weiss, 17, a rising senior at duPont Manual High School in Louisville, said he thought it would be funny to enlist his friend’s cat to run for president. The presidential candidate belongs to 18-year-old Emilee McCubbins, who is also a rising senior at Manual.

    So Weiss logged on to the Federal Election Commission’s website this spring and created “The Committee for the Installation of Limberbutt.”

    According to Federal Election Commission filings, Limberbutt is a Democrat. Or as Weiss puts it, a “demo-cat.”

    Weiss and Emilee McCubbins say they have already gotten letters about Limberbutt’s candidacy—some going as far as to ask for proof of the cat’s citizenship. Other letters are seeking information about possible volunteer opportunities to help get McCubbins in the White House.

    “I got a letter in the mail from a lawyer wanting to represent him,” McCubbins told WFPL News. “I’ve gotten numerous emails.”

    Weiss added: “It does not appear that they know that he is indeed a cat.”

    Candidate McCubbins is not the first non-human to become a presidential candidate. Others include a pig named Pigasus the Immortal in 1968 and Molly the Dog in 2008.

    Anyone can start a committee to explore running for president, but actually getting on a ballot is up to state laws, an FEC spokesman said. Also, the FEC’s regulations apply to people, not cats, the spokesman added.

    Weiss said he and his friends started this process—which already includes a Facebook page and campaign swag—mostly as a joke.

    “We often joked around that Limberbutt would make a great president,” Weiss said of the 5-year-old cat.

    He said what stood out to him was that it was even possible to register a cat with the FEC.

    “Anyone can easily run for president, which is why if you go to the FEC website you’ll see over 200 people listed—including Limberbutt,” Weiss said.[/rquoter]

    He's got some ballsy ideas and voters are tired of getting shafted. If it becomes a tight race things could get hairy.

    How can a 15 year old file official paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to run for President if you have to be 35 year old to be president?
