When the Democratic party looked for its nomination for the 2016 Presidential election, a candidate who could follow-up on Barack Obama's two-term presidency, it was a clear race between primary candidate Harry Reid, who had failed his campaign to win the 2012 election, and an inanimate sponge, known as Inanimate Sponge. After three fierce political debates on live on television (all three of which Sponge unanimously won), Sponge won the primary elections and became the official candidate for the Presidency for the Democratic Party.
