Last resort candidate

Posted on 02/03/2016 3:38:19 PM PST by jstaff

Based on comments posted here in the last couple of days I get the idea that we could have a disastrous election result in November. I won't call anyone out but I wonder how many more there are here who would choose Hillary over Cruz. Two scenarios:

1. Cruz vs Clinton - which one would you vote for?

2.Trump tries independent/third party run - would you vote for him?

I'm actually scared to see the results of this little unofficial poll.

“If he would choose to run third party then he would expose himself as the left-winger that he truly is. He would know that a third party run would assure a sHillary win.”

I don’t think that is true. Trump would take votes from both. It’s not clear how it would turn out.

And you know, since trump says “i’ve paid for my own campaign”-— is it not remotely possible in the great big world of “The Deal” that running interference for Hillary in this way would have quite tangible “payoff” politically for the many worldwide trump projects and interests. Such a thing a pay in kind— goods for services in political barter (about which see— Qatar, and Bahrain properties trump has). Barter that does not show up on any FEC records. That’s how its done in the “private club”. Bill Clinton and Epstein are in the same club. Cards on the table, mes amis.

Of course, if he is the nominee. Absolutely nothing favorite but far better that anyone on the Dem ticket.

A better use of time, if we are Trump supporters, would be to get better downticket candidates so that we don’t send up crappy legislation to begin with....

I’d vote for Cruz or Trump.
Trump goes third party if Cruz gets the nomination, then he’s dead to me.

Will vote for Cruz.

Will vote for Trump as long as he picks a conservative running mate and does not run third party against Cruz.

What is working on my head is the number of Trump supporters, right here on FR, that say they would vote Clinton over Cruz, or vote third party for Trump. FR is supposed to be conservative HQ and it’s like this, how bad is it out there where all the RINO’s and middle of the raiders live?

The only court I want to see Obama in is one where he’s standing before the judge.

Trump 3rd party run makes him Perot redux - and leads to Clinton number 3 in the process.

He should run as Republican or not at all, or he’s to blame for a Democrat win.

It would be incredibly bad if Hillary was the THIRD Clintonian plurality win for POTUS. OMG....

I do not believe that these are real Trump supporters. I think they are paid internet trolls here for one purpose: to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt.

In truth, every REAL Trump supporter I have personally known has dropped him over the past month.

I would vote for Trump or stay home.

Used to say I’d vote for Cruz if nominated, but have changed my mind about that.
