Explanations of the hints: They're big on national uniform rules: the Supreme Court rulings made same-sex marriage and health-care rights the same across all 50 states; a giant sucking sound going east: Ross Perot criticized another free trade agreement in 1992 by warning about "a giant sucking sound going south"; that's another contest he won't win: Trump owns the Miss Universe pageant, which he can't win; and it's easier to agree about people than about money: eurozone leaders were still arguing with Greece over its debt problems, but they did come up with a plan to deal with the high level of southern immigrants.
