The last couple of elections have seen the Republicans here calling for libertarians and independents to hold their nose and vote for the GOP candidate instead of voting for Ron Paul (or any other third party candidate).
At the moment, Trump leads the GOP field according to this CNN article. While I don't expect he'll end up in the general election, this does make me wonder: if Trump ended up as the GOP candidate in November, 2016, would Arfcom's Republicans hold their noses and vote for him as the lesser of two evils as they have urged people to do for RINO candidates John McCain and Mitt Romney? |

Hell no, and I didn't vote for McCain or Romney, either. But as I've said before, my vote doesn't matter, even if I had thousands of votes to my name.

My vote wouldn't matter anyway, but I would definitely vote against Hillary. |

Hillary and Obama appreciate it Trump is ideologically on the same side. And no, they don't care about my vote, because my vote does not matter. I could vote 100,000 times and not change the outcome. In statewide votes, for a Rightist, voting is pretty much futile. I only bother to keep my active voter status or because there are more local races where my vote actually might, just barely, count for something (but probably not). |

They HAVE to be shitting their pants right now.
ALL OF THEM. Both sides... totally freaking out. The house of cards is tumbling down. |

Not doing it. I'm sick of politicians in the back room, cutting deals. Trump is a deal making MF'er if there ever was one. No more "reaching across the aisle". Fuck you, stop compromising everything away one "deal" at a time.

Bare in mind CA hasn't voted for a republican President since Regan.... |

I will be voting for Scott Walker in the primary but would vote for Trump in the general.

I don't follow politics too much...I'm a Californian conservative, which means my vote doesn't count for shit...
...but is this guy really being taken seriously? He's a clown! Is this who we really want running things? The guy's a businessman, not a politician! He brings what kind of experience to the table? Why are people listening to him? Because he has money? Is it because he married a foreign woman, because GD can't handle American women? ...and what's she going to do? What does our Slovenian First Lady Melanie bring to the table--First Lady branded jewelry on QVC? This is...preposterous. I'll never vote for him. |

Perot 2.0
It is all going according to plan. At this point if Cruz or maybe 2 others are not the republican nominee, I will vote "burn it down barry" Chump is a smart man, and a democrat |

One thing I do like about Trump is that he's scaring the living shit out of BOTH parties.
|
|
Why am I not surprised so many would be foolish to vote for someone that would support an assault weapons ban?
Edit, Shows how Boehner got the job. |
|
I would do it without holding my nose. It's the other GOP candidates that stink.

Trump brings bona fide executive experience to the table; the President is the Chief Executive. His negotiating experience also would serve this country well. Better than Obama's and Kerry's don't you think. Ronald Reagan was an actor; of what possible use would his skills bring to the Presidency?......(rhetorical question) |

Is he? Seems more like a straight talker Is this who we really want running things? The guy's a businessman, not a politician!

Oh none at all, career politicians are so experienced Why are people listening to him? Because he has money? Why do people listen to celebrities and musicians ? Would you take financial advise from a guy on a corner begging for money or a CEO? Is it because he married a foreign woman, because GD can't handle American women? She's hot, and hot ...and what's she going to do? What does First Lady Melanie bring to the table--First Lady branded jewelry on QVC? Probably keep her lips zipped This is...preposterous.

Your vote doesn't matter because you're not using it. I don't give a shit how liberal your state is, you'll never change it by not voting against them. Your one vote might not mean much, but when 500,000 other people are thinking the same thing it does. 4 million people like you stayed home the last election and gave us Obama for another four. |

Would we really have a choice? That, vote for hillary or stay home, which is like giving hillary half a vote. Repubs have been banking on that shit for years.

Hell yes.
I am antiestablishment. He is a politician but a much different politician than what the others are |

I wouldn't be voting for Trump, I would be voting against Hillary.
Cruze is the man. Just don't think he has near enough support. |
|
|
Depends.. Against Hillary? Oh hell yes. I would vote for Adolf Hitler if he ran against Hillary.

Trump would be a shitty POTUS, but still miles ahead of Benillary O'Webb.
Whoever promises to make Trump his/her press secretary has my vote, voice, time, and money. |

If I ever get cancer, I'll gladly endure chemo if it might give me a chance to live. If the general election is any democrat vs any republican, including the GEICO Caveman, I will vote republican. If you stay home or vote third party- you're a fucking retard. |
