Sarah Palin endorses Trump - Dow crashes. Coincidence?

You can bet some pundit will say it's her fault.

There’s that one. Also, the question of how much of the defense budget is being spent fighting ISIS - the “correct” answer was 10%, but that amount covers both Afghanistan and ISIS, and I’ll bet that the expenditures on Afghanistan dwarf those being deployed against ISIS.

Then there was the question on labor force participation. The “correct” answer was False, even though the cited numbers showed that the answer was true.
