Bulldozer. Since there's a modifier "bigger", that eliminates the first and fourth options already. So it's between Bulldozer and politics, a toss-up really, but Bulldozer edges it a bit since politics, over here at least, is improving somewhat.

I live in the UK and even I know US politicians are fail, so the choice was obvious.
