The Internet takes two things very seriously: its presidential campaigns and its sandwich choices. If you're going to compare the two, you better have your lines of reasoning straight.
MSNBC aired a segment comparing Democratic presidential candidates to types of sandwiches on Wednesday afternoon with Food and Wine editor Noah Kaufmann guest hosting the segment. However, the Internet did not approve of MSNBC assessment.
Here were MSNBC's bizarre and somewhat unrelatable sandwich choices, according to viewers on Twitter:
Bernie Sanders was a Bahn Mi, because he's a spicy fire cracker of a candidate.
Hillary Clinton was a Subway sandwich (hopefully sans rat).
Lincoln Chafee was a wrap.
Martin O'Malley was a soft shell crab sandwich.
Jim Webb was an egg salad sandwich. We'll allow it.
Sometimes picking a candidate is like...picking a sandwich, at least according to @foodandwine. Editor @IamNoahKaufman explains on @MSNBC— Kate Snow (@tvkatesnow) October 14, 2015
Unfortunately, picking a presidential candidate (or a President, in general) is slightly more weighty decision than picking lunch -- at least for most people.
But mostly, other users on social media just plain disagreed with MSNBC's taste in deli fare.
