2016 Election Thread Part Deux

[TNsnyper20]

Johnson polled at 16% in Iowa the other day. Send his poll numbers are steadily rising. Really want to see him in the debates this fall.

Hard to handicap today's news. Base was already on board even if indicted. Independents got a mixed bag today - no indictment but a sack load of new facts showing her lying nature and questioning her judgement.

Probably a wash

Agreed. It'll affect fence voters but not the blue tie mafia.

It's like it was before today - the Independents have to pick the lesser evil.

Or pick neither. And vote for a candidate they actually can back up

Went down that road before with Perot and guess what?

Clinton got elected.

Or pick neither. And vote for a candidate they actually can back (mostly)up

That's the problem though. This is the 4th Pres election in my voting life and I have yet to find a candidate to really support. There are those I hate, but none I like.

Oh well.

Might happen again. But, getting a third party or a third option add the standard going forward is a risk in willing to take.

Sadly this is true for several.

My first was Reagan in 1980 - I supported him but I was 18 and didn't really know much.

Supported GHWB in 1988

I would say I support Johnson this time around as much as I've ever supported a POTUS candidate.

Why not? King and an ace... split that and hit me!😉

This is pretty telling that the power brokers in the GOP haven't bought in to Trump at all and are giving him little support. Prolly means Trump gets replaced at the convention or before with his antics now wearing incredibly thin.

Actually, he probably just did Trump a favor.

That's a good thing..

It's amazing how support for Trump has dwindled among the base. How did he win the primary in the first place?

Corker would have made the ticket less appealing?

Absolutely, Corker would have brought nothing to the ticket.

Every person in the GOP that wants to have a political future is going to run away from VP slot on his ticket. You'd spend 3/4 of your time trying to explain away his latest ridiculous statement, and the other 1/4 trying to repair relationships with everyone he offended, yesterday.

Think about it: At the convention, no Romney, McCain, GHW Bush, GW Bush, no Jeb, most of the other candidates this year staying away. He's a trainwreck waiting to happen, and they know it, and they don't want to be tied to the aftermath.
