3rd Party candidate...

3rd Party candidate... With the election race looking as close as it seems to be can you folks who are saying you are going to vote for the third party or not vote at all really afford to take that position? If say 5-10 percent of the voters vote for a third party candidate and this winds up being like the 2000 Bush Gore election can you live with the decision? Will you be proud to say "I voted Johnson" or I didn't vote? Just a reminder to the Republican voters out there as a public service announcement. Due to the expected overwhelming surge in Republican voter turnout the Republican party has decided to move the date of the election for all Republican voters to Wednesday November 9th 2016. It is anticipated this will reduce the length of the lines and shorten the waiting time to at least half to cast your all important vote for the revered Donald Trump. The added benefit is there will be no Democrats in line to annoy you.  Vive La Difference |

You should have added that this was Trump's idea to change the date.  They seem to believe anything if they think TRUMP said it...

I'm not sure we can say reliably that the election is close. I know there are polls to predict these things, but polls DO lie. You'll recall that many, many polls last time convinced Mitt Romney that he would be elected president. In our own Michigan primary this year Clinton was forecast to trounce Bernie Sanders by twenty to thirty points. Both polls were wrong. And as for being a laughing stock, I'll take that if it means I can avoid choking down haggis and pretending it's food.  (All meant in good fun, of course. I could have got nasty and mentioned Brexit, but I opted to just make a joke of it instead. )Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

This goes at the heart of what elections are about - are you voting for your preferred candidate or your preferred administration? I've also been a realist when casting my vote in that I want my vote to make a difference so sometimes I vote for a candidate not my first choice because I know that candidate can't win.

Johnson: "What is Aleppo?"   ... He's almost as ignorant as Trump, although not quite as big of an asshole. .. I have trouble understanding Libertarian logic sometimes.  Stein? ... Sadly, my feed is full of people raving about her. .. But she panders to the anti-vaxers and resorts to petty criminal activity (vandalism) to get herself in the news. .. She's the one who will pick off the die hard Bernie supporters. And now for my third party candidate: ZOLTAN!  .. I'm not sure how many ballots he will be on. .. He represents the Trans-humanist Party. .. Their platform contains many progressive ideas that for right now anyway are just too far ahead of their time. (One of them being a "guaranteed basic income".) Looking at the big picture, the choice seems obvious to me. .. But I don't believe that many voters look at the big picture.  --- Um yeah. The house choosing the president is very likely with the scenario we have now.  That could even mean Mitt Romney becomes president!  Monday night will be interesting.

Your point may not be apparent enough for your non-American readers: Our electoral college is set up where a majority by a certain percentage needs to be accomplished. If trump gets 512 electoral votes and Hillary get 560 and Jill stein gets 25 and Gary Johnson gets 50, then our Speaker Of the House then decides who will be president. (Since those 75 votes would have put Hillary into the majority that would have been clear that she was the winner) That would be Paul Ryan, who endorsed Trump. I have said this before- it is too convenient to forget the electoral college until this situation arises again. I would like to see a movement, set in motion grass roots style, to abolish the electoral college and go to a popular vote majority wins style.

Not an American, but certainly my vote would be for Johnson, and I imagine those of a Libertarian persuasion will do so, and the Greens will vote for their Green candidate. Trump (in your case) or Clinton should pick up votes from those who despise what they stand for and the baggage they carry because the vote will be close????? Seriously, that's the logic here? If that's the intellignece over there, no wonder you lot are a laughing stock with the two most despised candidates

Remember Republicans put it on your calendar Nov 9th 2016 vote for Donald Trump! Vive La Difference

I understand he's not from here so I didn't go hard on him. Ignorance can be bliss sometimes but it won't be for him or the rest of the world if Trump does win because people here vote for a third party candidate. Sometimes it helps when you can see beyond the end of your nose.
