    I could see Trump winning or keeping it close. But I can also see him dropping below Johnson, if the antics continue and he simply becomes unacceptable to people. There is surely a tipping point number for Johnson - maybe 20 percent? - at which he might then get a flood of hold-your-nose-and-vote-Trump supporters to convert.

    And all Clinton voters have to ignore is that she's a pathological liar who tried to destroy women who were victimized by her scumbag husband.

    Lucky you.

    I'm voting Johnson and I will sleep like a baby after doing so.

  3. Golly gee whiz, I didn't know all that!

    Wow!

    People who know her may rave, but that's a small number compared to the folks who only see here. She's horrible in interviews, borderline combative. She doesn't like the media and it's pretty obvious. She's really lacks - I dunno - presence and appeal. At least on a large scale.

    Then there's the perception that she can't tell the truth. That's she's seen as a career politician - which is part of the reason Trump is so damn popular.


    If there was anyone even moderately likable on either ticket it would be a landslide. It's sad either no one with anyone with any sense or character can win a party nomination.

    Edit:
    I don't think anyone disputes her qualifications. But she's wholly unlikable.
    She's reminds of a Mean Bob Dole. If people knew what a sense of humor he had, I think he'd have been president.

    Then there's Trump who loves the media and pretends he doesn't.

    I wished she'd have been on board with gay marriage sooner, but it wasn't politically expedient for a centrist at the time, so I understand it. That's the only thing that troubled me in the least.

    She is going to win in a landslide.

    About what I expected: 90% of SJ'ers not voting Trump.

    She's qualified, but you don't like her personality. Trump is unqualified and awful, but he's exciting!

    This isn't a reality show, as much as it seems that way. Though, I do respect Republicans who will vote for Johnson.

    Do you respect Democrats who will vote for Jill Stein or write in Bernie?

    I do. I don't know enough about Jill Stein to make a judgement on her qualifications. I believe Clinton is qualified. I believe Sanders is qualified. I believe Johnson is qualified.

    The person I'm completely sure is totally unqualified and dangerous is Trump.

    I don't respect anybody voting third party in this election.

    I'm thinking about it. I'll probably end up voting for HRC, but I haven't ruled out a third party vote. Not sure what's so wrong with that, but cool.
