You'd probably like this place, wes.

(Unfortunately, when we were in Haines in September—we were basically only there to catch a 7 AM ferry from Haines to Juneau—it was already closed for the day.)

Family Feud question - If all the U.S. presidents were alive, single and ready to mingle, which one would you date?

Two of the answers given were Robert Kennedy and Benjamin Franklin. The latter was given on an attempt to steal, meaning that not a single one of five family members was able to point out that Franklin was not a president.

You think that’s bad? I had an exchange today with two ‘progressives’ on Facebook who kept shouting at me that it’s okay for ‘us’ to break the rules and sort things out later because the danger this country faces under Trump demands it.

They really couldn’t comprehend that if the Democrats also flip the bird at the rule of law, THERE IS NO DEMOCRACY LEFT TO SAVE.

I'll give them a brain fart on the back to back non-POTUS answers. They were having a good laugh over it almost immediately, so they got it.

Was surprised Obama was not number 1, and JFK was still over 40%. Kind of gives you a glimpse at who they survey.

When they guessed Bush, Steve Harvey did not make them clarify which one.

Trump got zero. Presumably, there is some cross-section of people and yet not one Trump lover. Again, kind of gives a glimpse at who they survey.

Well they at least don’t love him in that way.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

I could see a perfect opening there for a contestant's response about a desire to date Trump versus a desire to fuck him over....

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

You must take into account the particular rules of this game have nothing to do with the truth or reality of the answers, only the degree of commonality.

If 99% of the respondents gave the same inaccurate reply to a question, then that is the 'correct' answer. The whole activity of this game is based on each 'family's' ability to predict the opinion of the general public. I think we recognize the state of knowledge of the general public about most things.
