Hahah...this is probably the reason they don't have "none of the above" or "no confidence" on the ballot.

But seriously...none of the above.

None of the above.

Now, replace Trump with Rubio, or Kasich, or Huntsman, or Pataki, and I'd choose them. Replace Clinton with O'Malley or Webb (against Trump) and I'd think about it.

As it stands, my choices are Queen Pighead or King Dickhead. I'll go with "None of the above".

Sure he is. That's why two weeks ago he was hollering to anybody that would listen that Hillary Clinton was unfit to be President. And last week he was hollering that she was the best thing since sliced bread. The man is as unprincipled as any other politician. I no longer believe anything he says.

There is only one vote open to us that makes any sense at all and that is a vote for Trump. He wasn't my choice to be the nominee--he was never on my short list actually--but he is the ONLY one running that has a shot at actually getting something done. If he accomplished nothing more than breaking the cruel hold of political correctness that the left, including their surrogate media, has forced on us, and appointing good justices to the Supreme Court, he will go down as successful in my book. I cannot come up with one, not even ONE reason that Hillary Clinton should be President.

In all honesty, DJT will be better for the country as a whole, than Crooked Hillary.

Having no one at all would be better than the bitch in the pantsuit.

Using your logic, DJT is best. People have to come to terms with the GOP candidate. Or come out of the closet and admit they are voting for corruption, Crooked Hillary.

What would you vote?

Well Im voting third party so essentially i'm voting none of the above and thats how I answered your poll

But to answer your questions honestly I would need to no what a vote of none of the above does.
If those votes count and it would disqualify those tow and make us pick two NEW people id vote for the because it would probably win.
if its just a no vote and it looked likely hilary over trump i still vote none of the above, if its just a no vote and it looked like trump could win i vote hillary.

This is way in real life im voting third party.

i think that we should have that choice. if the none of the above option wins, they should have to toss the candidates and start over.

Between the two of them, yes. That doesn't mean that either of them are a particularly good choice, he's just the least bad of the two.

While in theory that sounds like a good thing, in practice it just doesn't work. Who gets to be in power while we're throwing away tons of candidates and starting over? Maybe whoever is currently in power will use that power to keep having bad candidates put up so they never have to leave office.

i doubt that it would be the winning option very often. voters love their little tribal political parties too much. this is probably the only election in recent memory in which it could actually happen.

I think it would happen in virtually every election. People only vote because they have no other choice and they don't want the other guy to win. Given a choice of keeping all of these political scumbags out of office, I think most people would take that option more often than not. I can't remember the last politician in any race that I have actually supported. It may never have happened in my entire life.

i don't agree that it would happen every time, or even most of the time.

Since it'll never happen, we'll never find out, will we?

We know what we are getting with Crooked Hillary. And so far, from what I have been seeing at the GOP Convention, DJT isn't the so-called "lesser of two evils." And besides, if he was, sometimes you just got to say WTF and go with it. Remember, the alternative is Crooked Hillary and a SCOTUS full of kooker leftists.
