I will certainly be voting for Hillary Clinton. She’s not perfect but she’s pretty damn good, and will make a fine President.
Not voting. As an ex-pat, I would only be able to vote in my home state of Utah and one more tiny blue drop in an ocean of red just hasn’t seemed worth the hassle of worrying about filing state tax returns as well as Federal.
Were I back in the States, I would be 99.99999% sure. Unlike kunilou, I’m not sure if I’d vote for her if there were both a dead girl and a live boy in her bed. I’d really want an explanation of why there weren’t any sheep in the room.
I am voting almost a straight Democrat ticket, which means I will be happily voting for Clinton, for John Gregg for Indiana Governor, & for Evan Bayh as senator against the venomous snake-person Todd Young; however, I will be voting for one Republican: there is a Republican candidate for superintendent of schools I like. She has tons of experience, is in favor of actual sex ed., not abstinence only, and because she’s a Republican, I think she’ll do a better job of putting her foot down with the religious faction of her own party. The Democrat is green and untested. Maybe it’s not fair of me not to give the Dem. a chance, but there’s a crisis in the schools now, and we need a really strong personality.
I’m allowing for the 1% chance that something totally amazing is revealed which might change my vote. But it would have to be really amazingly extreme. Like… Trump and Pence are simultaneously killed by lightning and Kasich is appointed to replace them.
This. The only thing that would make me change my mind would be a total psychotic break with reality.
Given that one category is 100%, and the next category tops out at 99%, I can only assume that we’re meant to round to the nearest percentage point. Which means that, yes, I am 100% certain, as any circumstance that could cause me to change my mind has less than a 0.5% chance of happening.
I was seriously toying with Gary Johnson. But “What’s Aleppo?” made me think, and the fact that he couldn’t think of any world leaders he admired really turned me off.
While I hate the Establishment Plutocracy, I can endure it for another 4-8 years. Hillary for me.
I agree with someone above: Trump cannot be President. He cannot. I don’t know about you, but my mind reels to the point of insanity if I even seriously try to contemplate President Trump. It makes me sick.
There is absolutely nothing either Trump or Hillary could do to earn my vote short of publicy promising me a seat on SCOTUS.
Trump is batshit insane.
Hillary is evil, with no redeeming qualities other than being NotTrump.
Gary Johnson is a third party candidate that won’t win, but will get my vote.
And my vote is utterly irrelevant. i live in the reddest county of the reddest state in the country. My state will go red for POTUS no matter what. They just won’t do it with my help.
If HRC is murdered on camera by Tim Kaine, I will still be voting for the late Secreteary of State .
Conversely, if Tim Kaine is murdered on camera by HRC, she’d still have my vote this year.
Wait a minute. You won’t vote for Clinton for president just because she’s evil? Does that mean I can’t count on your endorsement in 2024?
I thought we got rid of you.
Here’s how I thought about it:
At this point, a candidate would have to die, and not a vice presidential candidate, either. Scandal isn’t going to do it: Clinton’s been in the cross-hairs so long that if they were going to find anything at all they would have found it well before now, and probably before I was old enough to vote. Another zeppelin full of smoke is just going to go over like a lead balloon.
If Trump dies, the nomination would have to go to Pence. If the GOP couldn’t dig up a Not-Trump during the entirety of the primary season, it won’t be able to do so in the month it has before the final exam, so it’ll have to go in with the notes it has scribbled on its palm and hope that it doesn’t sweat too badly. Pence is a loser. He’s a bigot in bigot’s clothing. I do not want him anywhere near the Supreme Court nomination process.
If Clinton dies, the DNC will likely run Kaine or some other middle-of-the-road doctrinaire Democrat. Maybe Biden will step up. The point is, the nominee will be some sane if unexciting choice. Not perfect, but not someone willing to be associated with the modern GOP, either.
My point is, the choice doesn’t get substantially harder. Trump isn’t the GOP’s main problem. The GOP’s ideology is the GOP’s main problem. And that isn’t going to change between now and the big dance. We cannot afford a GOP-controlled White House until the underlying problem is solved.
So, while I am not in a state of absolute metaphysical certitude (McLaughlin RIP), I am as convinced as I can possibly be about an event which depends on the real world in a complicated fashion. So, yes, I’m 100% locked-in to my current choice.
Which is nice, because I expect to vote early, as I’m registered for an absentee ballot.
Speaking of absentee ballots, I mailed mine in yesterday, and it’s on it’s way to Florida as we speak.
I’m sure who I’m going to vote for for POTUS. However, I still won’t be able to send in my ballot immediately, because I live in California and I see that on my ballot I have 30 items to vote on, and they are not all obvious.
Since it’s a swing state, I think you’re better off voting Clinton anyways. If you want to throw the GOP a bone, do it further down the ballot.
You aren’t evil. Neutral* Good, with lawful tendencies.
*Bards have to be some flavor of Neutral, per one of the ancient tomes of which I’ve mostly forgotten. Definitely First Edition. Never really played anything later than Unearthed Arcana, and a few original tweaks.
I did not die on the first operating table and am much depressed and self-pitying now. Though no less bombastic. And if I discover that you were deliberately quoting Captain Jack Harkness in that line, and thus casting me as Mickey, there will be blood.
Yes, I know, 100 percent for sure. I’m a Democrat and, for all her many flaws, Hillary will have my vote. Trump is out-and-out dangerous and wrong on virtually every issue I care about, and none of the other candidates has a chance of winning.
