As I keep saying, I’d vote for anyone but Hillary.
I took another one of these online tests, which makes that abundantly clear.
She’s dead last.
Trump’s a brilliant Machiavellian, and I like the way he shits on the left’s sacred cows, but I worry that he’s a big government Republican.

If I didn’t care who won I’d vote for Johnson. I did that in ’12.
This year it is different.
I’ve been holding my nose and voting for the Republican candidate for years, and I suppose I can do it again. Except I just don’t enjoy feeling like a chump.
The problem with activists is that they want more than my damn vote. They actually want my enthusiasm. Sorry, but that’s asking too much.
Here’s some reasons not to vote for Johnson/Weld.
http://www.unz.com/imercer/someone-should-tell-bill-kristol-dwarfs-tossing-is-cruel/
Basically, more war, and more of the same. I don’t know much about Johnson, beyond this article and related sources, I liked Weld when he was governor of Mass, but not so much for president This is all leading to Kristolnacht.
I get 90% Johnson, 78% Trump, 61% Bernie, 57% Stein, and a wildly implausible 53% Hillary.
Trying to match anyone’s positions with Trump’s is highly problematic, given the inconsistency of his positions. Seems like he just says a bunch of random stuff, and there’s usually at least one random position for anyone to agree with.
On the other hand, Hillary has pretty much proclaimed that people like me are The Enemy, which has to put me in the anyone-but camp.
Hey, maybe she’ll be indicted. And maybe Trump will be eaten by an alligator. And maybe SMOD will make the whole question moot.
Trump 87%
Johnson 72%
Hildabeast 24%
Kernel Sanders 18%
Stein (who?)16%
I’m wondering how they determined Trump’s positions? He’s purposely vague and all over the map, especially on the most hot-button issues. If he commits to any definitive side he risks alienating a significant fraction of his supporters.
Most elections I’ve sometimes voted Republican, if the candidate isn’t too repulsive, otherwise Libertarian or stayed home. This time is different.
If Trump gets eaten by an alligator I’m voting for it, still a better choice than Swillary.
I forgot the numbers, but Trump highest ~90, Johnson ~60, Sanders/Stein/Shrillary on bottom ~ 25.
After voting Demo, I chose to vote in 1980 for a Third Party: none-of-the-above D or R. From 1980-2000 I voted Pub only once, in 1988, in response to Demo support of the Sandinistas. Kerry, Sanders, etc. After Gulf War I, when only about 5 Senate Democrats voted in favor of the war, I decided that I would never vote for a Democrat candidate for President. If Democrats are going to turn foreign policy into a partisan game,as that vote clearly showed, they are not to be trusted.
In 2000 I voted Libertarian, and was thus neutral regarding the outcome of the Florida vote. I got disgusted with Demos trying to change rules at their convenience. For example, in counties which Democrats controlled, and thus Democrats were in charge of the design of the ballots, Democrats suddenly decided that the ballot design was not a good one and one needed to interpret how those rejected ballots should have been voted. Apparently Demo voters were too dumb to correctly interpret a Demo-designed ballot. After the way Democrats conduced themselves during the Florida recount, I decided that a Third Party vote was useless against Democrats.
In summation, I would vote Democrat only over my dead body.
Can you really compare them at all on the issues? We all know that the next president will be Trump or Clinton, and we know what Hillary’s positions are on most major issues, but Trump’s positions change from day to day. Can you really say that you know what Trump’s position is or will be tomorrow on ANY issue?
Wow! I was 93% Trump. That does surprise me. Johnson was second, next to last was Hillary.
I voted for Bush in 2000 on the assumption that his Compassionate Conservatism shtick was boob bait for the rube vote. Boy, was I wrong. I can’t think of anything good that came out of his presidency. Arguably the initial tax reduction, nice try so far. Also arguably, invading Afghanistan. But what a disaster that turned out to be, we are still stuck to it like a bituminous infant. Likewise Iraq. Likewise No Child Gets Ahead. And so on. One failed policy after another. Bush did a fantastic job of setting the stage for Obama.
The refreshing thing about Trump is that I don’t need to believe a thing he says, we all know he’s full of shit and he’s not even pretending otherwise, and I like it. Think of him as the anti-Hillary. Humor and feistyness vs. leaden and stiff alternate droning and screeching.
Why are those other three even in the list?
The only ones who can be President are Trump and Hillary. None of the others have any chance.
Is Hillary presumptive, or consumptive? *coughcoughcoughgaghchokehack*
looks like I am stuck with trump. green party kicked off ballot in arizona and won’t be allowed as write in party. since I am on social security I won’t be voting for gary johnson or war criminal clinton

Well, I have been saying for quite some time that Trump is a roll of the dice. I’ll take that over Hillary.
With Hillary the dice are loaded,not to mention three sheets to the wind and half in the bag.
Or Comrade Bernie’s mystical one-sided dice.
Trump’s dice are solid brass and massive.
Captain – welcome to the dark side.
Same thing happened to me in 2008; CO wouldn’t let me write in Ron Paul. Only approved write-in candidates allowed. What a scam.
GJ: 92%
DT: 89%
BS: 56%
JS: 54%
HC: 46%
road kill I feel your pain as bubba says. I was going to vote for jill stein and now I can’t even right in her name and have it count.
Boston was still using mechanical voting machines when I lived there in the 90s. The machines were very helpful for confused or disabled voters, if a voter should have accidentally tried to vote for a Republican the little levers were screwed down so tight that they wouldn’t move. And Billy Bulger’s thugs were lining the sidewalk outside. I suspect complaining about the bogus setup of the machine might not have been conducive to further respiration and/or ambulation.
As the bureaucrat said to the forrester “I file your pine”.
For one thrilling instant Ophelia Paine thought Bill Clinton was talking to her personally.
Actually, Bill said “I feel your PANE”. His glass fetish was well known to White House staff, who kept the best crystal firmly locked up throughout his presidency.
In the usual finely parsed Clinton idiom the statement should actually be read
“I feel. Your pain”
Mitt Romney says a vote for the Libertarians might be a good idea.

Too late Mitt. I voted Libertarian in 2012. This year I’m voting Trump.
Interesting – Trump 91% – Gary 88%.
