When "I'm Not Voting" and the Libertarian Candidate are included ....

So true. If Trump was running against Obama, he would be destroyed in my opinion. Clinton is carrying more negative baggage than any Presidential candidate I can remember, and it's currently neck-and-neck. Like Clinton, I think Trump does more to hurt himself than anyone else. Both Trump and Clinton need to select strong running mates. That alone will be interesting. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

Remember how Romney had Obama in the debate and then Candy came in and rescued Barry. Romeny backed down and never recovered. Trump would not have backed away from Candy. He would have continued to pound on Obama. I don't know who would have won but it wouldn't have been landslide.

Trump used a teleprompter, and still sounded like an idiot.

Please blacken one number from 1 to 4 next these names in the appropriate numbered box:
A "4" is who you think the biggest douchebag is.
A "1" is who you think the littlest douchebag is:

Hilary Clinton
Donald Trump
Gary Johnson
Bernie Sanders

Add up the numbers and whoever gets the highest count is the biggest douchebag in the land and everyone will know! Whoever gets the lowest count is the next POTUS.

Killing four douchebags with one vote...yeah.

Kind of surprised that the Libertarian isn't doing better in this poll given that he is the only one who would legalize our hobby. (Of course, it is doubtful he has had more strange pussy than Trump --- or than Hillary for that matter).

I certainly don't expect the Libertarian candidate to win any electoral votes. But if he can crack 15%, he makes it onto the debate stage. Giving us a bona fide third option is a healthy thing for our republic. Small victories today leading to a political realignment in the future. Originally Posted by Texas Playboy

I thought that requirement is ridiculous, paying a ballot fee is common sense way to do this. Louisiana does this, but that process still favors main parties.
