Bernie Sanders and John Kasich secure crucial endorsements from Deez Nutz

Game over for frontrunners Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump?

Probably not, but this is slightly amusing…

Brady Olson, the 15-year-old Iowan who created a viral sensation earlier this month after he filed FEC paperwork to run for president under the name “Deez Nuts,” has made his endorsements in the GOP and Democratic primaries.

It’s Bernie Sanders for the Dems:

And John Kasich on the Republican side:

“Deez Nuts” went viral after the firm Public Policy Polling included him in some of their state polls:

Finally Deez Nuts get 9% in NC to go with their 8% in Minnesota and 7% in Iowa. Pretty consistent support: http://t.co/EIPkTvW3Ti

To put Trump's 21% as indy in Iowa in perspective, Deez Nuts get 7% so that may be the floor for 3rd party right now: http://t.co/mbzumqjmAU

Deez Nuts poll at 8% as an independent candidate for President in MN when tested against Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump #NewsYouCanUse

Unfortunately, the popularity of Deez Nuts has started a trend and dozens of new fake candidates are filing their FEC paperwork to run for president.

Thanks Public Policy Polling! You’ve made the 2016 election even worse!!
