My Choice for President

[MoreCoffee]

Keep praying for God's good will to be done (as it is already done in heaven) in the USA presidential election. It's the best way to shape your own thoughts about politics into godly thoughts in conformity to the image of Christ which you bear as a Christian. It is also an excellent way to hear God's will for your voting choice.

Maybe God will strike dead both major candidates. The VP's are FAR better in both cases.

Trump is a disaster, his party should recognize the mistake and put up a real candidate

Too late. Actually, I think the RNC did everything in it's power to prevent Trump but..... Also too late for the Dems to dump Hilary. We're STUCK with two entirely disqualified candidates. I can't vote for the Green or American Independent candidates either - although both seem FAR more acceptable than either Hilary or the Donald. How did such a great county end up with these two? We better figure that out.

You could always vote for Gary Johnson.

Mercy triumphs over condemnation.

I think both Trump and Hillary are disasters in the making. I honestly couldn't vote for either of them, except possibly as a means to keep the other from winning. If I had a vote I'd cast it for Gary Johnson, he seems like the third party candidate that most closely represents what I'd like to see and the candidate most likely to break the grip of the two-party system.

I agree about the candidates but I will not throw a vote away by voting for someone I know has no realistic shot at winning, thta is just handing the election to one of them. I will vote Hillary smply as the least objectionable. After the last few weeks I cannot understand how anyone can vote for Trump, it truly is scary

I struggle to see people voting for the seemingly bullheaded and narcissistic Trump, other than as a means to keep Hillary out of office. I can't honestly see why anyone would vote for a woman who has proven herself so untrustworthy where classified information is concerned and then lied to cover her own tracks, other than to keep Trump out.

On that basis I wish more people would vote third party, simply to remind the primary two parties that it isn't as simple a choice as either-or and they need to do better. The trouble is that while the idea that a vote for anyone else is wasted survives, the existing system that is so badly broken will also survive.

I'd say to anyone, if you're broadly Republican but can't bring yourself to vote Trump then vote Johnson. If you're broadly Democrat but can't bring yourself to vote Hillary then vote Johnson. Chances are anyone broadly Republican would die before they voted Hillary and likewise anyone broadly Democrat would die before they voted Trump. So figure the third party candidate that most closely matches what you believe in and vote for them.

I like the libertarian platform because it combines conservative economic principles with more liberal social principles. As things stand with the primary two parties if you want conservative economic principles you end up with all sorts of silliness about banning immigration or trying to make sodomy illegal or whatever else, and if you want liberal social principles you're stuck with some of the silly tendencies of redistribution until the system breaks.

I just found a web site - www.isidewith.com - that asks where you stand on a range of issues and then matches you to the candidates based on their stances.

For me:

93% Gary Johnson
81% Darrell Castle
78% Donald Trump
61% Jill Stein
34% Hillary Clinton

I'm not familiar with Darrell Castle or Jill Stein. Still, it's good to know that there are apparently at least some areas where I'd agree with Hillary Clinton. Just not very many of them.

 

[MarkFL]

I took the quiz:

Jill Stein: 84%
Gary Johnson: 84%
Hillary Clinton: 80%
Donald Trump: 68%
Darrell Castle: 61%

 

[tango]

So will you vote for Stein or Johnson?

 

[MarkFL]

I will likely still vote Clinton as I see that as the best way to prevent Trump...LOL! :sadwavey:

My (not too shocking) results:

90% Trump
81% Castle
68% Johnson
03% Clinton
03% Stein


My "problem" with Trump is not SO much his currently professed politics (although I do disagree with him on some issues not in that survey), it's HIM He's an egomaniac, a jerk, a loose cannon, an embarrassment.

And even though I agreed with Clinton only THREE PERCENT (could it be any lower on that survey?), my big problem with her is not so much her politics (I actually would live with another term of Obama), it's HER. She's a liar, she's anti-feminism while constantly playing the gender card, she throws women and soldiers and ambassadors under the bus for the sake of her own power, she's a huge security risk... and she should be in jail.

I'll have to look more at Darryl Castle.


Woe is we.

If you're minded to vote Clinton why not vote Johnson and persuade someone who's broadly Republican but struggles with Trump to do the same? Then both mainstream candidates lose similar numbers of votes and maybe it will be the kick that the establishment needs to make it clear that The People are unhappy.

If you are Gay, why are you voting for Hillary when she wants to bring in 1,000's of refugees that believe all Gays should be executed.

If you are Black, why are you voting for Hillary when she admires Margaret Sanger and defends Planned Parenthood when they want o abort as many black babies as possible. Exterminate the black race because they are like "weeds". Most of those clinics are in Black neighborhoods.

If you are a Christian, why are you voting for Hillary Clinton when she wrote her Senior thesis on Saul Alinsky who dedicated his book Rules for Radicals to Lucifer, The Devil. She says he was and still is her mentor.

If you are a Veteran, in the military, or closely related to a military member, why are you voting for Hillary when she left those men to die in Benghazi and had the nerve to lie about it over and over again. They called for help but the help was told to stand down.

If you have factory job, why are you voting for Hillary when she supported TPP and factory works are being laid off because jobs are going over sees. Don't forget the deals she made with china. She also welcomes open borders and illegals to get benefits with your tax money.

If you are poor, why are you voting for Hillary, when she is supporting Wall street and all the big banks. Big banks keep the poor, poor by destroying the poor man's credit by allowing medical bills and collections to affect your credit scores so you can pay higher interest rates than the rich. Taking as much of the little money you earn.

If you are a woman, how can you vote for Hillary when she has buried all of Bills rape victims under the rug including the little girl that was raped when she defended the rapist and laughed about it later.

If you carry a gun, believe in the Constitution, how can you vote for Hillary when she wants to eliminate the NRA, Take your guns, and abolish the second amendment.

If you breathe, why would you vote for Hillary when she has left a trail of dead people that did not agree with her or knew too much!

Who is left?

Have you listened to Trump? Heard what he says? He is scary, I agree that Hillary isnt much better but at least she is sand. If they would put up a third candidate i would probably vote for them but between the two Hillary is less dangerous

So Muslim dominance in America is safe. Really in what Muslim dominate country do you see this to be healthy, safe, and prosperous for the masses.

Abnd ticking off every voting block not to mention inciting violence, cutting off trade agreements, and dissolving NATO will keep us safe? Name one segment of the votinmg population he hasnt come against. That nman is a train wreck that will bring this country down very quickly

I don't fear a Muslim majority in the U.S., the only fear I would have is if we became a theocracy, no matter what the religion. As long as there is no state sanctioned religion and people are free to practice whatever religion they choose, or even choose not to practice any, then that's fine by me. This is what our constitution wisely guarantees us. Then what the majority practice should be of no concern.
