I guess if you want McDonald's to be an elaborate metaphor for desire and also explicitly not McDonald's that almost works; but that's not usually where the meme goes and seems like kind of a weird stretch besides.

I say Donald would get caught up in everything and start cheering partially because he really is a lot like a little kid and partially because he'll just say whatever he thinks anybody wants to hear (immature tweeting, hiding behind slogans: wall, swamp, etc.) Also he clearly likes actual McDonald's. Hillary would run in, grab what she wants from the situation and callously move on because of her usual slash and burn 'fuck you, got mine' attitude towards campaigning and the party (vicious primary campaigns, odd choice of platform). And Bernie would be the voice of reason saying we need to cut back, be responsible, and keep it close to home – returning and fixing stuff there and possibly not supporting crazy bastards like McDonald's or eating ludicrously unhealthy shit like big macs in the first place. (creating better paying jobs, returning industry home, rejecting corporate influence.)

I see what you want to say, but ask yourself… is McDonald's really a good metaphor for medicare, being payed a good wage, lessened corporate influence, and college? McDonald's the real life business is basically the opposite of at least three of those things.

I'd probably rotate everybody one position counterclockwise on this one (after putting the black coffee back). It would require admitting that the lower right corner isn't the 'good guy' zone, but we should be doing that anyway.
