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 Trump is their first choice candidate, it would be logical to vote for Hillary over Cruz.

Cruz

Third party run by DT? No.

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 think Trump stands a better chance of beating Hillary, but I will vote for Cruz happily if he is nominated.
Will you vote for Trump?

Trump as a third party candidate unfortunately would have a better shot of beating Clinton then the person with the (R) next to their name.

All the people you would choose Hillary over Ted Cruz aren’t here. They are posting over on the DU site.

As for your concerns, Ted Cruz has been out-polling Hillary pretty consistently head-to-head, and the general election campaign hasn’t even started yet.

You are letting the media trolls into your head. For your own sanity, don’t do that.

If the R jersey candidate is a Cheap Labor Express candidate, then yes.

I don’t think Clinton or Sanders stands a chance— whoever wins Republican nomination will win it all..

I will vote for the Rebuplican unless it’s its Jeb and then I will have to fast and pray and decide not to vote for him.

Thus proving the “lack” of very many, if any, conservatives other than “in name only” trump supporters. Hillary is not socialist light— she is Saul Alinsky Bolshevik— as his her husband and her whole crew— shaking down and getting support from world socialists to “take up her role” in the presidency she is “entitled”. Only an idiot trump supporter would vote for hillary— or, people who have been lying to themselves first and then to the pollsters.

After seeing some of the posts around here I can only hope you are right. I had to go to DU just to see and confirmed that yes their is more Cruz bashing going on right here on FR it's a bit scary.

I think people are delusional if they think a President Sanders and President Hillary Clinton would be that different.

IF Hillary makes it to the general election ...

ANYBODY will beat her.

Her “support” is all in-kind donation and cheerleading by her sycophants in the media.

I don't think they'd be idiots. They are voting for a nearly identical product. But Hillary will triangulate, so she could possibly move more to the right, if that's the way the wind is blowing. Trump might not do that.
