    I don't know about my conscience, but my common sense tells me this just isn't the right election to even waste time about. It is dead to me. Uninspiring to me.

    Wake me up in the election year when each and every person running is damn good in different own kind of ways. Why? Because that is the only kind of election where nobody loses (be them voter or non-voter).

    true. it's really just the "wait until hillary's appointment" show. and then there's that entertaining fool they threw in there to make it look like she could legitimately win.

    They'll prolly throw a lot of ppl off, and appoint Trump, to try to keep ppl convinced that the pres. elections are still legit.

    If you ask me, it looks like Bush and Obama were appointed. Not elected. Castro even said Bush was appointed, not elected.

    A few Nostradomus quatrains mentions Mabus will soon die. Which could be [Oba]mabus[h]. Death of the obviousness to appointed presidents? This would co-sign what I said if they appoint Trump. Hillary would just keep it obvious, that they have been appointing presidents at some point.

    Fox News and Bushes have come forward in support of Hillary Clinton, that speaks volumes.

    Oh, and Putin even said something along these lines: it is obvious that Trump is your winner.

    ^This even made the news.

    Putin said it like he has actual intelligence on president appointments, just like how Castro flat out said Bush was appointed as though he had actual intelligence on a president appointment.

    Everybody but most of the american people has the intel on presidents being no longer elected, and rather appointed.

    I'd vote for Green, but they have been virtually silent. I'm going for the most benevolent cartoon caricature. W didn't even make me this ashamed to be an American.

    If my horse could swim, I would move to Asia and find a new old country, where people drink yogurt, where people smell like goats, where people never watch Television.

    i voted for the third party one year my mom asked who i was voting for, i told her and she said "he isnt going to win" Well mom its not like i am betting on a horse race. you dont win money if a shitty person gets in, just because they are less shitty than the other shitty person.

    actually i voted for a third party candidate every presidential election. this might be the first one thats different.

    Please, have the instinct to win! Don't be a sucker for third parties. Who on Earth would suffer what Donald Trump would have us suffer, for the sake of principal? Wo to the overly-principaled.

    Chime in now extremists, with a portrait of how bad Hillary is. I reply, so what?

    In Europe, politicians struggle for the support of the little, extremist parties. Here, we do the opposite, and politicians struggle for the support of the middle-of-the-road voter. Our way insures we rally around someone, at least, rather than bickering as parliamentary democracies do. Go ahead and behave as if you live in a parliamentary democracy, but it won't change the fact that you do not live in one.

    I'd wager that less than 1% of the supporters of third parties will be out working for those third parties at grassroots level, in 2017. Unless it involves the grand scheme of things, extremists haven't the energy for such work. They won't get invlved in state house of rep races, as the conservative Christians do. The conservative Christians have the instinct to win.
