Presidential Election
« on: October 12, 2016, 07:37:35 pm »
No one likes Trump.

People hate Hillary.

Why don't people plan on a writing in a candidate like Bernie Sanders?

I agree this is a good time for a 3rd party candidate... but something tells me, this election is rigged.
I'm going to vote based on who I want to nominate judges to the Supreme Court.    It's not going to do any good, but that is how I will rationalize voting since I don't particular care for either leading candidate.

I am a little bit upset (okay a LOT upset) about the recent leaks revealing Hillary's inner circle and their insult of Catholics. So half of Trump's supporters are deplorables and the nation's Catholics are obviously part of that "basket"...

If want a Socialist as your leader, then by all means vote for Bernie.

I want someone who's totally against the establishment and that's Trump.  :peace:

Not enough people would write in/vote for a 3rd party candidate so that they would win.   I do wish our country would eliminate the two party system.   I cannot vote for Donald Trump.  Cannot and will not.

Not entirely true. In fact this year may offer the best chance for an outside candidate to win.... You have to remember that in order to win the presidency, the candidate needs to win enough electoral college votes. However if no one gets enough, then the House of Representatives gets to decide from the top 3 candidates. With so many people disgusted with the two major party candidates, it's possible that neither will get enough electoral college votes. Then a 3rd party candidate may have a chance, esp. if the House too doesn't want either of them. Lately, with the troubles that Trump has been going through, Evan McMullen has been making strides, esp. in Utah where Trump's double-digit lead has shrunk to an even match, with McMullen only a few percentage points away (28% for both Clinton and Trump and McMullen at 22%). Similarly, the Green party and the Libertarians are doing much better this election cycle than they have seen in prior years.

Well i am going to vote for the lesser of 2 evils.  Trump may not be my first choice, but Hillary  is not on my list.  We must have someone to get this immagration  under control and stop  it . also  stop drugs coming in. Our country is going broke because of it. Not obama is giving illegals  social security and medicare and they have never paid into it. And taking millions out for other benefits for them It is not fair. Hillary wants to let in another 650,000 refugees and how are we going to pay for them. Oh wait she will take more jobs away from the Americans give them to the refugees.

I am going to vote for Gary Johnson.  Even though I don't fully agree with the Libertarian point of view, at least I won't feel ashamed by my vote.

I like Trump, and I'll be voting for him, too.  At least this man actually cares about the country and ALL of it's citizens.  I've had enough of the "change" we got with Obama.  The guy is an idiot (not to mention he's not even legal, but we won't go there), and Clinton has serious health issues AND she's a tremendous liar.  Wikileaks is doing a fantastic job of exposing the Clintons.  I do not care for four more years of Obama 2.0.  The Obamas and Clintons disgust me.  If they want a country like Venezuela, I invite them all to high tail it the heck outta the U.S. and stay out.

I disagree. Trump cares about Trump in my opinion.

If people don't like what is going on, then now is a very good time too protest the system. I mean if people really truly feel that way instead of just complaining all the time then really do something. Everyone always finds excuses when it comes to anything and that is why you have these 2 idiots running for president. Not there fault and not mine either because I really don't care but it is certainly everyone else who complains about it on a daily bases.
