these are the questions i have to answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for the help @adamaero

OpenStudy (adamaero):

The first thing I notice is the 'original' printing on the package: Republican. That means that this politician was originally a Republican, then ind., then democrat. A donkey is opening the present, so assume that this guy just swapped parties. Additionally, the "one" in the word bubble emphasizes this observation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so taht would be the main idea of this cartoon and yeah he did change parties hes running this year or fl governor

OpenStudy (adamaero):

Politicians swap parties sometimes, maybe often (don't know), to fit their audience (the biggest group of voters who'll vote them in). It's a sad case of audience bias and fair weather fans.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is the main topic?

OpenStudy (adamaero):

What do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think is that fact taht he changed so many parties just to please others and the donkey is just wondering

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (adamaero):

What do you think it might be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its the fact that this guys is changing parties.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (adamaero):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what would be the cartonist main point?

OpenStudy (adamaero):
