Sometimes they are gun or law related, sometimes not. With this being a presidential election year I&#8217;ve been getting more and more that are about the race for the White House. These usually involve a poll stating that this candidate or that candidate is leading his or her opponents.<\/p>\n<p>The one I&#8217;m reproducing below is about campaign finance. It shows Bernie Sanders leading in contributions among a certain demographic. That demographics is called &#8220;sugar daddies&#8221; or &#8220;sugar mommas&#8221;. These are men and women who are willing to support attractive young men and women financially in exchange for &#8220;companionship&#8221;.
