#1 Careful getting too excited about Puzder--I'm reading elsewhere that he's soft on those problematic visas for foreign workers and not strong on other aspects of reigning in foreign workers.

#2 Sad that this post didn't go to Scott Walker.

I guess it has been decided he's more useful as the governor of a purple state.

#3 Puzder's p@rn@graphic commercials for Carl's Jr made me boycott his chain many, many years ago.

I just can't believe he thinks this dude is the best choice.

What a total turn-off.

#4 You weren't his target audience.

#5 You know if you drain the low skill employment tier of excess labor, the value/cost of labor naturally goes up.

Now just how do you do that? /rhet question

#6 "You weren't his target audience."

Or maybe he's just a creepy jerk.

#7 Because only guys between the ages of 14 and 25 eat at fast food burger joints.

He's a frickin' genius.

#8 Probably because there are more 14-25 year olds willing to spend money at fast food joints (and for a longer time) than there are curmudgeons.

So yeah, he's a frickin' genius.

#9 Pappy's still the same after all these years.

Women exist too and Trump didn't have to appoint this turd.

I'm sorry I voted for Trump.

#10 Perhaps. If you'd actually pointed out a flaw of Mr. Puzder's that would adversely affect the national employment environment, such as him being soft on H1Bs, rather than his engaging in marketing to a potential customer base that you personally disapprove of, perhaps I might have been more... polite.

In any case, you seem stressed. Might I suggest a (family-friendly) coloring book?

Oh yeah, do wang do wang

#12 Seriously, if this lone pick puts you off voting for Trump, you need to seriously re-evaluate your life.

And Pappy, ration the crayons. The trolls have a tendency to eat them.

I'm sorry I voted for Trump.

You invoke "women" as if you somehow *value* them, yet you're sorry you voted for the only candidate that could keep (another) Clinton out of this nation's highest office?

Good God. You really need to ask yourself whether you believe in anything at all.
