  • Well, the primaries are underway and the caucuses

  • are in full swing.

  • That doesn't sound right.

  • I don't want to talk about swinging.

  • Swinging caucuses doesn't sound right.

  • I don't usually follow politics too closely.

  • This year, I have been because I think this is probably

  • the most important year for all of us to be paying attention.

  • [APPLAUSE AND CHEERING]

  • I've been watching the debates.

  • And I've been reading up on all the issues.

  • I've been getting my bikini body ready for the election year.

  • Good to have a bikini body for election season.

  • And it hasn't been easy to follow.

  • Because at the beginning, there were 20 candidates.

  • Now they're down to six.

  • And there's just arguments and name calling.

  • And, for some reason, Hannah B. had showed up.

  • And I'm thinking of The Bachelor.

  • I'm so sorry.

  • I'm so impressed by people that run for president though,

  • because it's a lot.

  • It's a commitment.

  • It takes a lot of hard work.

  • And I don't think I could be president

  • because I couldn't live in the same house for four years.

  • I would never be able to--

  • I like to move too much.

  • People are really passionate about the candidates.

  • And passion is a good thing.

  • And it's good to debate issues.

  • But it's good to have discussions, you know?

  • Calm, civil, positive discussions,

  • because there are too many people being

  • mean and negative on social media.

  • Somehow our campaign slogans have gone from I Like Ike

  • to Vote for Bernie or Eat an Eggplant Emoji,

  • you know what I mean?

  • It's like extreme.

  • When I'm online, I follow the golden rule--

  • Tweet Others the Way You Want Others to Tweet You.

  • Right?

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • And the problem is, is that we're

  • focusing on what makes us--

  • instead of focusing on what makes us the same,

  • we're focusing on all the superficial things

  • that make us different.

  • And we reduce everybody to labels.

  • And we can't do that.

  • So please remember, no labels.

  • Whether you're planning on voting

  • for the old guy, or the rich guy, or the gay guy,

  • or the other old guy, or the two ladies, or the orange guy,

  • don't reduce people to labels.

  • Now--

Well, the primaries are underway and the caucuses
