I saw on the news that 20 % in a poll don’t support Hillary or Trump . I can’t recall which news I saw it on. I bet the number could be higher b/c not everyone took the poll , I didn’t . ---

The exception applied only to the incumbent at the time of passage. Truman could have run again, but Zombie Lincoln could not. ---

> [@running\_coach](#): > > And he didn’t finish his second term. The wording of the amendment just says you can’t be elected more than twice. So it doesn’t matter that he didn’t get much of his second term. And as **Siam Sam** said, the Amendment applies to elections prior to its passage, with the exception of the President when its actually passed (i.e. Truman). ---

> [@escaped](#): > > neither Hilary nor trump light my fire. I wish we could bring Lincoln back. I hear a lot of comments like this, and my reaction boils down to this: Tough shit. I’m not thrilled with either one, but those are our choices. Pick one, vote for a minor party candidate, or sit out the election. Part of the price of being a grownup is having to choose between two things we don’t like. ---

I still say we should ram a Constitutional Amendment through the state legislatures and draft Arnold Schwarzenegger to run as an independent/unity candidate. People think I’m making a weird joke, but I think it’s theoretically workable. Schwarzenegger may be a goon, but he’s not malicious, which is more than I can say for Trump. And in a race between two notorious unlikable weirdos running on their notoriety, a Hollywood superstar is a, well, higher ranking card. I guess I’m voting for Jill Stein as things stand now, and I can tell you I’m just thrilled about it. :dubious: I watched a Green party presidential candidate debate on…RT? I think it was RT. Wow, looks like Dr. Stein really is the best speaker they have. [sarcasm] Clearly a party ready for massive executive responsibility. [/sarcasm] Still, not blatantly giving America a Bronx cheer from the pocket of Lloyd Blankfein, which is more than I can say for either Clinton or Trump. And maybe giving power to a bunch of idealistic pacifist locavores could accomplish…something? ---

> [@BobLibDem](#): > > If you want to completely waste your vote. I suggest you rethink what you dislike about Hillary, do some research and see if it’s really true. If you’re worried about Benghazi! ™, don’t be. The longest investigation in Congressional history turned up diddly squat. She’s a centrist Democrat, much like Obama. Since Obama has been an above average president, expect much the same from Hillary. Hillary Clinton blatantly changes her opinions based on what makes her family more money. If you are willing to pay her more money than Goldman Sachs has (this means you have to give her a cool million), or you coincidentally have the same opinions and interests as Lloyd Blankfein and/or Jamie Dimon, then yes, she’s your girl. Otherwise, eh, not so much. Vote for her if you want, but keep your head down and hope no billionaires want to steal (or poison) your water supply or your neighborhood badly enough to buy her off. Note that Trump is, most likely, no better, and in some ways much worse. ---
