The New American Politics thread

Johnson 98
Stein 77
Clinton 49
Castle 47
Trump 19

I'm not sure how it got to 98 considering I was pro-Obamacare, pro-government funded space travel, pro-regulations on equal customer service regardless of religious grounds, and a bunch of other stuff.

Johnson is a pretty soft Libertarian candidate on the whole. Definitely more centered than the anarcho-Libertarians that comprise the fringe of that party.

[GGG]

Trumps latest line of attack of Hillary Clinton is a bigot using you for your votes is pretty good. Depressing minority turnout is a potential winning strategy in your Swing states:

It would have been far more effective coming from Sanders in the primary though. Trumps attack is also an attack that doesn't come back to making the story about him. Props to the new campaign team.

[PsYcNeT]

Stein 96%
Clinton 90%
Johnson 78%
Cheeto Mussolini 44%

Brb checking to see if the matches are moderate positions or if I need to seppuku.

[nik-]

Stein 95%
Clinton 93%
Johnson 64%
Trump 5% (rofl)

I'm just so right wing I suppose. Granted, this is a bit tainted because I wanted US oil production to stop so Canadian oil production does better

[Senator Clay Davis]

Johnson 77%
Clinton 69%
Stein 58%
Trump 13%

But that was just ranking everything as the same (somewhat important to me) and not weighting anything.

[ResAlien]

Clinton 97%
Stein 96%
Johnson 38%
Castle (who?) 12%
Human shaped poo bag 4%

About what I figured. This was with weighting. Seems Mr castle and I sort of agree, I say government can't restrict marriage, he says the same but "make it a religious decision" which I would strongly oppose. Overall a good barometer of how I'd vote though.

Is it just me or is Kellyanne Conway the most unbearable person in this whole election?

Katrina Pierson and Jeffrey Lord strongly disagree.

Ok, this gets my vote as weirdest election story of the day:

http://www.kare11.com/mb/news/politi...llot/307472506

Donald Trump has not filed the paperwork necessary to be on the Minnesota ballot. I'm a bit confused by the story's description of the rules, but it sounds like he has until August 29th to fix it, but even if so this is an odd one.

[Knut]

The interesting part of the poll I posted is that as a Canadian you would have to be against universal health care to not swing to Stein or Clinton.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Trump's got some new hats out to showcase his softening on immigration

[Iowa_Flames_Fan]

Guys, we're supposed to be feeling "cognitive dissonance," not making funny hats! Get serious!!!

Yea but they're just cable news talking heads. Kellyanne and her sunglasses are the freaking campaign manager for the GOP PRESIDENTIAL nominee.

[Jordan!]

Strongly considering walking across the street to the Hyatt next week to watch the Trump ####show rally.

Conservative radio pundit Rush Limbaugh railed against what he described as an Obama administration plot to pay lesbians to become farmers and invade conservative rural strongholds.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Wow.

Say what you want about BLM or Bernie conspiracy theorists or people like Katrina Pierson, Rush is still the undisputed world heavyweight champion of crazy.

[Amethyst]

I got
Jill Stein 98%
Hillary Clinton 95%
Gary Johnson - can't remember for sure, but I think 76%
Donald Trump - 18%

It didn't give me a rating for Castle, whoever that is.

Stein 95
Clinton 94
Johnson 13
Castle 5
Trump 2
