“Clinton 45” is trending on Twitter, and many people seem not to know why. Never fear, the Internet has many answers, most of which are far from the truth.

Despite the many interpretations of Clinton 45, the reason people are talking about it is rather simple — a CNN “Poll of Polls” found Clinton with 45 percent support to Donald Trump’s 43 percent. That’s great news for The Donald, and bad news for the Dowager Queen of Chappaqua.

Nevertheless, polls at this point in the race usually do not predict the outcome of an election. As the Washington Post‘s Daniel Drezner pointed out, this is the worst month for election punditry. Trump is enjoying a polling boost partially because he has clinched the Republican nomination, while Hillary Clinton is still fighting Bernie Sanders. That doesn’t mean Trump can’t win (he does have the anti-establishment wind at his back), but Clinton is still the favorite.

In any case, Twitter’s explanations for “Clinton 45” were much more entertaining than my own, prosaic political analysis, so here they are! (Seriously, check out the bathroom server on page 4).
