Good point about small party candidates, but Tucker P. Smith was the Socialist vice presidential candidate in 1948; the presidential candidate was Norman Thomas.

You're technically wrong about Chuck Baldwin. He was born as Charles Baldwin. He only ran for vice president in '04 and president in '08. I'm too lazy to find the rest.[[User:Randomperson4000|Randomperson4000]] ([[User talk:Randomperson4000|talk]]) 19:31, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

==Errors==
 
Should the errors be included in the article explanation, or should they just be discussed here in the chat box? I'm of the opinion that anything that doesn't go towards explaining the comic should go here in the discussion. I would lean towards keeping error nitpicking confined to the discussion page.

Just finished the transcript. I didn't check for typos, since there was a lot of typing. It would be great if someone else would look over it. {{unsigned|207.242.93.10}}

Is it me or does the 1972 panel now say „Quakers can’t win twice“? What happened to „No wartime candidate has won without Massachusetts“?
 
1956–1964 seem to be wrong, too. Or am I missing something?

2016: No white guy who's been mentioned on twitter has gone on to win... Until Trump did.  [[User:Redninjakoopa|Redninjakoopa]] ([[User talk:Redninjakoopa|talk]]) 04:53, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Funny how the alt text is now also false, considering Trump is now president-elect. ill change the comment on Jan. 20th {{unsigned ip|108.162.237.39}}
 
:It's really funny because Trump is basically the king of Twitter politics/mud-slinging, I'm presuming that Randall didn't go back and change that alt-tag, because it was a safe bet that anyone coming after Obama would be another white guy, and anyone elected would be mentioned on twitter, but because Trump is so prolific on Twitter it makes the alt-text seem almost prophetic.

Democrats do not lose when they carry Pennsylvania.
 
But
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1848_United_States_presidential_election
 
Shows Taylor the Whig carrying Pennsylvania and winning.
 
I am confused.

Trump isn't white, he's orange. The first white guy to be mentioned on Twitter and then get elected president is Joe Biden.
