Need a Halloween costume? Get yourself a red sweater, a pair of glasses and a mustache and become America’s new hero.
Kenneth Bone, an undecided voter chosen to ask a question at Sunday night’s presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, went viral after the event. Not for his question, which related to energy, but for his calm demeanor and bold fashion sense that briefly restored order to an often bizarre debate.

Afterward, eagle-eyed viewers spotted Bone snapping a photo. Like many in attendance at the debate, he was equipped with what appeared to be a disposable camera:

Good things kids aren't watching, because it would take all night to explain a disposable camera to my 7 year old. #debate
