Pretty well all of us agree that there are big problems with both main candidates,

and the most robust arguments that have been put forward are not in favor of either candidate but against one or the other,

the strongest argument for Trump is to keep out Hillary who has a strong tendency to start wars, and the strongest argument for Hillary is to keep out Trump who is prone to dishing the dirt on everyone.

Gary Johnson and Jill Stein are a whole bunch better.

I was amazed by the support for Bernie Sanders and how rapidly it rose week by week. The DNC by front loading the Hillary strongholds demoralised the Bernie campaign and also by the Super Delegates who were all instructed to vote Hillary.

We now also know the support for Bernie would have been a lot stronger if the DNC had not instructed it's own 'neutral' staff to lie about Bernie's religion and denigrate him wherever possible.

From nothing he could have won, that is just how fed up the public are with the banks (Hillary) ripping us off and with stupidity in politics (Donald).

Lets start by responding to polls with Gary or Jill, we can do it and we must do it if we don't want WW3 or the lunatics running the asylum.

There are some pretty robust ethical and spiritual problems with Stein, Johnson, and McMullin's values as well. Please do some research. Each have equally anti-Christian platforms. You can't get away with it this time. Either you refrain from "stepping in it" and not vote, or you "step in it' and vote for ....whichever tickles your fancy. It's really going to make little difference in the long run. The world isn't going to suddenly veer off the course it has been divinely destined for no matter who anyone votes for. If it hasn't done so be now, its never going to. Why try to believe otherwise?

Johnson actually knows how to run in a executive office, being a two term governor.

Clinton has enough connections to literally accomplish whatever she wants in Washington.

Trump definitely knows what to do with borrowed money since he has done it his entire life.

I have no idea about Jill Stein, just by name alone. lol

I know who I'm voting for, but I am pretty sure Clinton will win no matter what, because of what I just stated about her.

Following the Christian route, approved by Billy Graham and a host of other Christian leaders in 2000 by voting for GWB turned into a disaster.

The problem is that while Trump is maliciously stupid and Hillary is stupidly malicious, the other two might be both.


Bernie could have been great and Jill left to herself could also be fantastic, but I'm not sure exactly what will happen once the military industrial complex starts making threats, even so she won't be as bad as Hillary or Donald.

Why do these folks never start their campaigns with enough time to actually make a run?

It seems like they wait til the last weeks, are very ill informed. And are much ado about nothing in the end.

The media ignored Bernie Sanders until his popularity became totally unignorable and he was top runner against the witch.

But the damage had been done and a lot of the public simply were not sufficiently familiar with Bernie to vote for him. Not knowing a whole bunch about Hillary either actually worked in her favor.

I think again the media have allowed a little tiny bit of time for Jill Stein and the other guy only because it is too late to make a difference.

People can't just sit down for one day and read up enough about all four candidates to find out which they want to vote for, they would rather sit down and semi listen to the debate while watching football, so really they are going to vote for whichever party they normally vote for. And they might suffer for it.

Despite the media I think Donald is still in with a good chance. I would have prefered Bernie or Jill, but at least he won't start a confrontation with Russia.

Okay, here's a suggestion.

Arrest both Clinton and Trump on charges of crimes against intelligence and decency, then make Rick Santorum president and Elizabeth Warren VP.

Then everyone can go back to real life.

Wrong.

Neither Johnson or Stein are prepared to become President. Trump is worse. Clinton is one of the most qualified to come along, and will be a great President.

This talk of Johnson and Stein is just another example of why some do not deserve the right to vote. I wish some people would get a clue.
