There are lots of kids out there who participate in political campaigns of one kind or another.

But, as one of the twitter commenters said, do you think that if he had written 'America First' 100 times it would have had the same result, all other things being equal?!?! I'm not a betting person, but I'm willing to bet the answer is no.

OK. So we are outraged about the result of a prediction regarding a hypothetical that never occurred, and therefore, cannot be proven? And as corporatetiger pointed out, he was accepted into two Ivy League schools without that stupid essay. It seems like a kid just trolling the system, pushing and testing its limits.

But by all means, let's be outraged about some unproveable hypothetical. I'M SO UPSET!!!!!
