So you think you know politics inside out? From Donald Trump’s baseball hat to Hillary Clinton’s viral shoulder-brush, the year 2015 has been capped off by some truly amazing details. John Boehner’s resignation was a shocker, but who would have guessed that he’d announce it by singing “Zip-a-dee-doo-dah”? Or that Ted Cruz would post 15 hours of unedited video showing him giving so many shoulder rubs to his extended family? Here’s a quiz to test your memory for all the sideshows of the political carnival—with special extra-credit questions for obsessives only. (Answers and scoring at bottom.)

This trivia quiz, or my score of 25 out of 40, surprised me. Looking at it now, I can see that this is a lot of beltway insider culture stuff and it illustrates, to an extent, why media and politicians are so out of touch with the rest of us.

[P.O.E.]

Trump, Carson, Cruz in the 90s, Hillary and Sanders in the teens.

Not surprised.

Is that the one that comes up Cruz no matter what you say?
(Not kidding. DH & I did one of these about 12 times on our respective computers & the last 7 or 8, we got *really* creative in our answers. It came up Cruz every time. Must have been made by that data harvesting company his PAC uses- something or other Analytics)
