John, If forced to vote one or the other, I would projectile vomit as I pushed the button for Trump. I won't vote for either. I'd either not enter a vote for the presidency, or do a write-in for Mickey Mouse. Court, Please share your misgivings about Cruz, Kasich, and Jeb Bush. | ||
| Ferris_von_bueller |
Cruz, Kasich and Bush couldn't be more different. The mere fact that Bernie is doing so well ought to tell you just how far the country has swung to the left and I don't see it swinging back. There might be one last gasp for conservatism but it will be weak and muted. The shifting demographics don't play out well for conservatives. I fear that soon the only conservatives left on the planet will be the people who are going around beheading and drowning people alive - just the kind of conservatives we don't want. | ||

Crusty, If that were my choices then definitely Trump. I would just hope he is smart enough to surround himself with intelligent and constitution loving people. The reason we can't move beyond the two party system is because of the way we vote. We got another felon in the white house when we got the first Clinton. Slick Willie was a draft dodger that was later pardoned. He won because of a third party contender. Ross Perot pulled many Republican votes away allowing Clinton to win. So how do we fix this? EASY We elect our Presidents by using the same method we use in basketball. We use brackets!! Pit all contenders into brackets and have more than one election and get it down to the top two. This would get us the people that really should be at the top. | ||

So guys, I'm voting in the SC primary tomorrow. Do I vote my gut? Do I vote for the guy closest to Trump in the poles to hopefully prevent Trump from winning the primary? Other? Opinions/suggestions will be appreciated. | ||
| Aesquire |
Vote you gut and your brain. Pick the guy who won't take your rights. Simple. ( IMHO It's Cruz but I could be wrong.) Then vote against Hillary, Bernie, Joe or Andrew..... in the General. Blake. Take a tums and vote against Hillary et al. Otherwise you are giving your rights away. Do not go gently into the darkness. Even if I have to vote for Jeb or Donald, I'll vote AGAINST Hillary. It can get worse. It will. Watch the next few months as racism hits a new low with Obama's supreme choice. | ||

For sure, there could be some pure evil involved that may have me voting in a way I wouldn't prefer, but we'll see what kinda crap floats to the top when this is all said and done. | ||

Follow Bill Clinton's lead.... Choose anybody but Hillary...or Bernie. Choose someone with boobs and a butt... | ||
| Court |
Will do. And . . thank you. You've prompted me to think a bit and realize that I probably don't know enough, beyond the "so and so is a such and such" talking points. So, I started today and am doing some research on each of the other candidates. I may change my opinion, but at the very least I'll be wiser. I will respond. | ||
| Hughlysses |
^ I'd love to be able to read your thoughts before I vote tomorrow. | ||

2 things to...ignore. 1. Polls. They can be honest, or complete fabrications, by using loaded questions and micro managing the group selected, or just plain faked by dropping answers they don't like. They are often wrong. Herd mentality and grifters like Bill Clinton LOVE polls since that tells them what to say or do to be popular. Polls have zero to do with Truth. 2. "Only X is electable" or "X is not electable". Often driven by Polls, ( see #1 ) or some pundits opinion, this is mostly blatant bull to get people to vote for the fellow the speaker wants, and not the guy he doesn't. Once you've freed your mind from other's opinions on what you should do.... you'll be fine. | ||

https://pjmedia.com/trending/2016/02/19/rutger-stu dents-meltdown-after-listening-to-a-conservative-s peaker-on-campus/ Not on Onion piece. The jr. community organizers that assaulted people and vandalized their own school are "threatened" and in need of group therapy after someone expressed views different than their own. Scotty, beam me up. There's no intelligent life down here. | ||
| Hughlysses |
Good advice, Patrick. Thanks. | ||
| Court |
Well....I've got more to do but ....were I voting today it'd be Kasich. | ||
| Airbozo |
Did anyone watch the Town Hall last night? | ||
| Hughlysses |
were I voting today it'd be Kasich. That's who I voted for. I can't think of the specific examples, but I remember him from his days in congress. I remember he made a very good impression on me back then, and it stuck. | ||

""Sanders isn't out and Bush isn't either." THis is very true, he (Jeb) is still running his campaign. Why he is still doing it is beyond me, with only a few % it seems HIGHLY unlikely that he'll be able to come back around the 4 or 5 that are ahead of him." I guess he finally realize that it was HIGHLY unlikely that he'd be able to come back around those ahead of him etc Hope you had fun Jeb | ||
| Crusty |
Trump and Hillary. Which one is the lesser of two evils? I wonder if the Russians said the same things about Putin when he ran for office? | ||
| Court |
I concur. Although Bush may have . . . in a stretch . . been qualified based on his experience as Governor and his ability to attract talented folks to his administration . . . I've never seen anything from him that resembles a glimmer of hope. It's almost a cosmetic "run cause your supposed to" hollow effort. He's barely notice in the polls. That's reality, not my opinion of him. We. as a nation, should be ashamed of the Clintons. Period. I say here with a couple Democrats last night and they have not a single concern about anything she (or he) has ever done. They are oblivious to the fact that Hillary is the one who dispatched the "here's what will happen to you if you don't use your official e-mail" when she started at DOS, She's the one who told us "I never sent or received any sensitive information" and now we see 22 e-mails that are "too sensitive to release" even years later and tons that are redacted and have illegally had the classified and top secret designations removed. Couple that with a host of other things . . .toss in the fact that . . try as I may . . . I can't get a single Hillary supporter to tell me ONE accomplishment during her tenure as SOS . . and you've got a looser on your hands and more likely a felon. The idea that we are going to elect this person to hold the highest office in the land and spend her days sitting in the same office that her husband was getting blow jobs is (you know that's gonna fry her) and act with wisdom . . is a joke. Frankly, there is a significant portion of the American electorate that, as a result of this, look like total idiots. Just a thought . . . | ||
| Hootowl |
"I can't get a single Hillary supporter to tell me ONE accomplishment during her tenure as SOS" She defeated the reformed terrorist (whom had given up his chemical and nuclear weapons programs, and paid reparations to his victims) that for years had been giving us intel on other terrorists, allowing the country to descend into a cesspool of competing Islamic terrorist organizations, and that has not had a functioning government since. Gee, that was easy. What do I win? Extra credit: Abandoning Iraq to ISIS. Compromising national security by refusing to use secure communications channels. If you mean something positive, I'm afraid I'm at a loss. | ||
| Court |
>>>If you mean something positive, I'm afraid I'm at a loss. Seems most . . even staunch Democrats are. If I were one of the deep cover covert operators that she placed in jeopardy . . .I'd be unhappy. I consider her acts essentially treason by virtue of pure stupidity. My company would fire me for putting sensitive information on personal e-mail. We deal with a great deal of confidential (most related to energy issues, FERC transactions and so forth) issues that could be a huge security breach. How'd she get off the hook? | ||
| Etennuly |
How'd she get off the hook? Perhaps a potential or threatened replay of the chain of events from Billery times in the Oval Office. Those wherein over sixty people, who were to testify against them, or had evidence against them, died in unexpected and mysterious ways. The brutal murderous forceful Kings of old England had nothing on them. It would be interesting to see how history a couple hundred years out view that. | ||
| Crusty |
So; who ya gonna vote for? The Wicked Witch of the White House or the Malodorous Magnate from Manhattan? | ||
| Pwnzor |
Neither. I won't be party to it. | ||
| Court |
Great choice . . . a smart criminal or an honest idiot. And . . . I wouldn't defend, with the "smart" nor the "honest" , labels very vigorously. | ||
| Reepicheep |
Oh geesh. Court nails it again. Makes me laugh and cry at the same time.
| ||
| Reindog |
The "honest idiot" might appoint effective administrators. The "smart criminal", well you know what I'm about to write so I won't. | ||
| Pwnzor |
Wait... of the "Smart Criminal and Honest Idiot", which one is which? Neither of those terms describes either of them accurately. | ||

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/442083/donal d-trump-school-closing-2016 A rant about how the precious snowflakes are getting out of class because the person they wanted didn't win. I'm watching people with "Not My President" written on their foreheads screaming that their state should leave America, how the President Elect should be murdered, and how they should retroactively change election laws so that they win. If I had done so 8 or 4 years ago, I'd have been declared a racist homophobe and mocked by all as an UnAmerican Idiot. These folk? When Vladimir hacks Twitter and changes all their likes, expect mass suicide. | ||

double bump... what were we talking about again, remind me? |
