Rand PaulIts crazy to me that Chipotle thinks it can dictate exactly what a natural, law-abiding American citizen can order on a burrito! They give you a menu, with this black-and-white list of ingredients, and just mandate that those ingredients are what you have to select from! Why are we so accepting of this burrito-ordering status quo? Am I in a fast-casual Mexican restaurant, or an Indonesian autocracy? If I want a burrito with French fries, and ketchup, and yak meat, I should be able to get just that! If I want a hamburger wrapped inside a corn tortilla and topped with Taco Bell sauce, Chipotle should serve me that, as a Constitution-loving citizen! Thats my right, as an American!
Now, Chipotle woman: Shut up and make me an ostrich burrito bowl.
Scott Walker
Yes, hi, Id like a barbacoa burrito with extra sour cream and brown rice.
The Chipotle worker begins to assemble the burrito.
Actually, youre fired. Everyone is. Get out.
Jeb Bush
Okay, lets see: What did my brother get? Two carnitas tacos and an iced tea? All right, I dont want that; I am not my brother. So, Ill do a burrito actually, heck, Im in the mood for tacos, who am I kidding? But unlike my brother, Ill get three tacos, with beef. Actually, you know, my brother was right, two tacos really is the perfect amount of food: Give me two tacos. And actually? I will do carnitas. Thats certainly the best meat option here, as my brother rightly identified.
Ill also get an iced tea. I am not my brother. Wait, what did Rubio get?

He would slash their pay and benefits while raising taxes on the poor, giving the managers kickbacks, and complaining that the burritos aren't assembling themselves fast enough.
