Manchurian Candidate

A little game played by the Coast Guard Chiefs based on the movie by the same name. Usually accompanied by a theater play that is the result of meshing up everyone’s personalities and “secrets.” The goal being to make the subject scared.

Why is he so confused?

Look away, they are doing the Manchurian Candidate on him.

Jumping Jack Candidate

Someone who jump from constituency to constituency (that they have no connection to) every time they lose their seat just so they can get re-elected to office instead of remaining in their original constituency and getting re-elected for that seat when the time comes.

paper candidate

A candidate representing a political party who seems highly unlikely to win, and although they are standing for office in good faith, may not be intending to campaign hard either. They usually do not have many resources, and may be political newcomers (or has-beens who are reluctant to leave politics). Their own organizations may not be willing or able to offer much support. As a result, they are usually not very visible on the campaign trail beyond putting up a few signs. In Quebec, the term for this type of candidate is “poteau” (post or pole), referring to signage on fenceposts or utility poles. Some may not campaign at all, just appearing on the ballot (“name on ballot”/NoB). Often this situation arises when a national political party wants to maintain its profile by running candidates in every district across the country, even ones that have traditionally shown little support.

This is not the same thing as a person who decides to run (or is manipulated into entering the race by other interests) in order to split the vote and prevent someone else from winning. An example of that from fiction is Willie Stark’s first gubernatorial campaign in “All The King’s Men”.

"When I went to vote today, I noticed Bob Aardvark's name at the top of the ballot. I didn't see him out campaigning and we didn't even get any campaign literature from him during the election. He must be a paper candidate. Wouldn't it be funny if a lot of people just voted for the first name they saw, and he got in~"

The Candidate

It was not the candidate.

Hym "It wasn't the candidate before the election. Before the election you thought she was a good candidate and that she was doing a good job. You, the pundits, did a dog shit job painting her in a positive light and convincing people to vote for her. Her team did a dog shit job preparing her for rallies sure but you didn't do a good job conveying what her policies were actually going to be. The people I talk to can't even spit out a single one of her policies. I haven't heard 'opportunity economy' from a single person. Spamming 'Donald Trump is a narcissistic fascist!!!' On a loop DOES NOT WORK... And that is all you did in the weeks leading up to election and YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD WORK. You, as a media pundit, were selecting stories to make your candidate look good and your opponent look bad. You, as a pundit, were arguing on her behalf and not that she lost... You are trying to distance yourself from your role in her loss. Because if you being a fat Persian retard made her lose then why would people give you their money? This election autopsy bullshit we are getting from the liberals is nothing more than a desperate attempt at self preservation."
