VOTE FOR KARLOS IN 2040!

[Look into MTV 4 Camera] I smoked and I did inhale. And then I inhaled again. I know some of our younger viewers may be confused by this. And yes, I am dating myself.

I hail from a time when President Bill Clinton and President Barack Obama had to make witty jokes about such things.

[FOCUS GROUP THIS OPENER: Baby Boomers will get “The Who” reference. Generation Z voters will ask, “Who?”]

Also known as The Millennials. I’m part of the 75 million Americans-strong generation, born between 1980 and 1992, and we will always have the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ back!

We were sometimes called the “Trophy Kids”, because we were raised hearing “no one loses”. And it’s true, I have some 4th grade soccer team medals collecting dust in the attic for “Team Spirit!”
