History: (Demon III #27) - The demon Etrigan, backed by conservative think-tank The Right-Wing Legacy Institute, ran in the Republican Party presidential primaries. His platform of starting more wars shot up his approval rating with Republican voters. Etrigan was interviewed by Sam Donaldson, who told him his plans to make the world pay for America’s overinflated lifestyle were simplistic, and Etrigan responded by lightly roasting him with hellfire. Etrigan’s advisors told him he had to keep his temper, and the demon responded that he had because Donaldson was still alive. The Donaldson interview caused Etrigan to shoot up in the polls.
