The true winner of the 2016 election has gotta be Ken Bone, who went from just a guy asking a question during a debate to instant Internet celebrity.

Bone, an adroitly self-aware Midwesterner who shot to fame on the power of a comfy outfit and trusty disposable camera, has used his sudden power for good. He hasn't declared an allegiance to any candidate, but simply encourages Americans to exercise their right to vote.
