Topic: [POLL] Who would you vote for in the American Presidential Election in 2016? - page 3. (Read 2689 times)

I dislike both of them, so I wouldn't vote for any. That's sad that the two really interesting candidates are out of the games.

I haven't said much about the primaries and upcoming election, but it seems like a good time to put a few thoughts together.
I have a visceral dislike of Clinton's foreign policy decisions; she's been on the wrong side of much of history as it seems obvious that the interventionists have failed. But domestically she's still much better than Trump. I have friends who will never vote for Clinton and I understand the impulse, but history tells us there are times politics is anything but idealistic--look what happened to Gore in 2000. Would we have been better off with Gore? I have no doubt, but the idealists who voted for Nader--a good man, and it was their right--also enable the Republican Party and the disastrous policies that followed. We also must ask why POC generally don't line up with Bernie. I think this is because the devil you know is than the devil you don't. Black Americans support the Clintons because of the personal relationship Bill developed--though his policies left much to be desired. I might also add that Hillary's support about Hispanics is also very strong.
One of Bernie's biggest problems is he didn't even contest the Southern primaries. This was a failure in his campaign. He didn't take the time early in the campaign (when there was time) to do the necessary minority outreach. I support Bernie because I like the fresh, insurgent quality of his campaign, but the Bernie or nothing campaign will be disastrous. Even with all the unrest in the United States, I don't believe change on a grand scale is about to occur. And even if a revolution could occur, do we want to experience the level of violence that would accompany it? Economic inequality is a serious issue in this country, but we are not Russia in 1917. And we are certainly not the 13 colonies in 1776. It will take a good deal more robbery and deprivation before the average person in the United States is willing to sacrifice for such major changes. Think of the failure of modern revolutions. It is not a pretty picture. Subversion of the current status quo is desirable, but the potential consequences must be weighed in the equation.

What you are going to gain by staying at home? You can cast a protest ballot, i.e voting for any of the third party candidates. A lot of Bernie Sanders supporters are rallying behind Jill Stein (Green Party of the United States). There is a remote chance that she may be able to win a handful of electoral votes, denying both Trump and Hitlery the magical 270 mark.

Consider this scenario:

Trump wins 268 electoral votes. Hitlery wins 267, and Jill Stein wins 3 (Vermont). 270 is required for a victory.

My Vote goes to Donald Trump for his development agenda

If the choice is Chump vs Shillary...

I will once again, refuse to choose the lesser of two evils

Thta's the comment that I agree. I would vote for noone of them if I would be an American. But if to choose between this two - I will make my choice as this guy say.

For sure not the donald

As I would say for any vote with two people that would get definitely majority of the votes. Asking me to choose between someone that sucks alot and someone that sucks even more, I would choose the one that sucks less, therefore Hillary.

I personally think that Trump will receive a lot so called ''protest'' votes from people who are very disappointed with big parties and their policies.
It seems people loosing faith in politicians because they understand how much selfish and corrupt they are.
Is Trump solution?
It seems yes for now,because he didn't come from this area, never was politician etc. but can such man be good UIS president and lead the country?
Who knows?
Hillary is much more experienced but have a few very big political scandals.
It will be interesting to see who will be winner.

I would vote for trump, so that it changes the policy in Africa. It has many wars that the US has the finger .... to trump change policies in relation wars in Africa for me this good. Ending terrorists reduced the wars, but many presidents sell to Arab owners of oil and war lords.

Because many people in the USA vote for 3rd party candidates and I want as accurate a poll as possible. Green party, Libertarian party, Constitution party, etc. It is precisely because they have no chance of winning that I lump them - and others - into the 'Other' category.

Thanks for participating. Please keep the votes coming.

I don't understand the "Other" option. Third party candidates are not significant in the American elections. At the most, they may get 2% or 3% of the total votes (that is, unless some third party candidate gets the backing of the establishment wing of either of the two major parties). It is a direct contest between Hitlery Clinton and Donald Trump.

I would vote for Trump if I lived in America because the melting pot needs a good long stir.

Trump has something that all politicians don't have and that is testicular fortitude! The libturds are afraid of him hence the verbal attacks, but we all know they wouldn't have a clue even if we wrote it down for them. Do we want the same crap as we have had empty promises or do we want someone who is already shaking things up. We know he won't be bought by lobbyist's.
