Twenty-one Democratic nominees were all asked the same 18 random questions by The New York Times last week. From the death penalty, to personal heros, to the amount of sleep they each get every night, the questions spanned a variety of topics.
But perhaps the most polarizing question was: "What is your comfort food on the campaign trail?"
From Cory Booker's "Veggies-on-the-go" to Julian Castro's "I don't have a comfort food, I have a comfort drink, which is iced tea," some of the answers were truly bizarre.
The internet wasn't having it, and dragged many of the candidates for their answers.
\u201cWhy would anyone associate with, much less trust or vote for, a person who claims to have no comfort food, that's straight sociopathic\u201d— andi zeisler (@andi zeisler) 1561066528
\u201cThis is yet more proof that the US has to stop electing men president, bc they don't have enough sense to understand what comfort food is.\u201d— emptywheel (@emptywheel) 1561055340
\u201cCmon @CoryBooker veggies aren\u2019t comfort food\u201d— Jake Tapper (@Jake Tapper) 1561053656
