    Nixon Always WINS!!!!!!!

    This one was like Decision 2012 meets The Day The Earth Stood Stupid. Watching a debate with Nixon, Bernie Burnman, and Fantastic Fours Invisible Woman that was being broadcast by Wolfman Blitzer, Fry ponders why people were so inarticulate to keep voting for Nixon. After a popcorn incident, people are fed up with Frys perpetual senselessness. Funny wordplay on Bernie Sanders and Wolf Blitzer. Meanwhile, Nixon is solicitous that he's behind in the polls. In comes Wernstrom, Farnsworth's bitter rival who has a leftover baby brain spawn to cause another brain drain to dumb people down to be dense enough to vote for Nixon again. Fry is once again immune to the brain drain. Leela messes up a delivery, Bender tries to eat his legs, Farnsworth loses at chess, Zoidberg boils himself. Nibbler is reduced to a primal state. People vote for Nixon again. More cool things are Fry using his temporary smartness to his advantage, making grilled cheese, saving everyone from oil poison, and along the way learns Bender is also insusceptable to the brain drain as long as he electrocuted himself. Bender and Fry set off on a journey to discover Wernstroms diabolical plan. Fry even punches Wernstrom believe it or not. After an intense ordeal everything is back to normal and once again, no one remembers being dumb except Fry. Glad about seeing the mockery of Mario and the Ninja Turtles in this. Futurama packs another powerhouse punch with this comic that is a lampoon of the 2016 election!
