For whom did you vote?

[ASUG8]

Trump. He may be a narcissist like Obama was, and he may be batshit crazy, but for him to get both sides rattled made me realize that he may be on to something. He acts like a 5 year old much of the time, but I think he's demonstrated even in his first week in office that he's planning to be a president of action. Johnson seemed like a good idea until I saw him interviewed a few times and realized he's not what I expected, and Hillary was....Hillary.

Before you vilify me for my choice, I'd have taken Rubio over Trump. I think Rubio will have his chance later on. Carson seems like a good man, but just too nice to play ball in the big leagues. If Romney had run I'd have voted for him again.

Carson will never ever ever ever be president. Not with his "the world is 6,000 years old" bull.

Yeah, there's that too. And that the pyramids were granaries.

They pyramids do function as granaries in Sid Meir's "Civilization" games, so you can see why Ben would've been so confused.

Where's the "Didn't Vote" option? I didn't vote at all. I was struggling with the choice all day but in the end, on the way to the polling place, my daughter has explosive diarrhea in the car and I took that as a sign. It wouldn't have mattered. My county/state voted for Trump and my vote for Gary Johnson wouldn't have done anything to change the outcome of the election.

If you didn't vote, you don't vote.

But, there wasn't a single person worth voting for.

[Ibanez]

Could imagine a Ben Carson State of the Union? The official sponsor would be Ambien.

[YoUDeeMan]

The pyramids were actually landing sites for alien vessels.

Stargate rocks!!!

Stargate was cool. I think it was the better series for Richard Dean Anderson than MacGyver was.

[Brock Landers]

Johnson. I imagine I will be doing something similar in 2020 when the left trots out another winner

I have a suspicion I'd rather listen to a Carson SOTU than a Trump SOTU



Actually that's not true

There's NOTHING in this world I'd rather listen to than a Trump SOTU.... it will be yuuuge

[Ivytalk]

WTF, gannon.

Do you agree with her on much at all? I don't get the feeling you do with your posting history...

You voted for her just because she's a woman?

Oh no, I generally think she's a loon. I thought her craziest position was the one where there were going to be committees of healing set up, like there have been in third world countries, where people can come and testify to how they were oppressed by previous administrations, cultures, races, etc. But yeah, I disagreed with her on tons of things.

And yes, I voted for her simply because she was a woman. Considering a woman was likely to be elected (despite JSO's claims now that it was always too close to call) I was voting in solidarity with all of those who really thought a historic moment in women's history was about to happen. Although identity politics is almost never a good thing, per se, it doesn't mean there isn't a silver lining here and there. And since, for me, I couldn't vote in good conscious for Trump (still think he's a buffoon) or for Hillary (patently corrupt) I was just staging a protest vote anyway. My very first Presidential vote was for Perot, so I'm used to the protest vote.

Jesus Christ, Gannon. I don't know what to say. I thought you were...rational.

[Ivytalk]

Johnson. To spite our "NOTA" Captain Courageous, 89Hen.

Actually, what CID said. Almost.

Yeah, GF lost some major points on that one. Hopefully, it is just a blip...but with all of the estrogen in his house, he might not be the household alpha we thought he was.

Nonsense - how could I lose any points by not wanting to vote for Hillary (corrupt) or Trump (buffoon)? And after seeing Gary Johnson clearly have a weed-moment when not knowing what an Aleppo was it was clear no one was worth voting for. Bandwagon jumping - kinda - on what could have been a historic moment was a perfectly acceptable fifth consolation prize in an otherwise wretched election cycle.

Yeah, Gary Johnson won the gaffe vote. Governor of New Mexico not knowing the president of old Mexico? Too funny. That dude spent too much time in co sensimilla shops. If that dude had his finger in the nuclear trigger, I'm not sure he knows enough about geography to get those warheads in the right continent.

Yeah, he just moved down a couple notches in my book to. Straight up Chizzy logic....

By voting for a female buffoon?

[Skjellyfetti]

Honestly, as much as I dislike Trump... he actually frightens me less as President than Jill Stein. It's close, but she's more batshit, imo. And, perhaps his CEO approach to the presidency may have some success. I couldn't imagine, in any situation, Jill Stein having one iota of success.

[Ivytalk]

Gary Johnson, easily.

The majority of my political beliefs used to lie in the GOP but that party migrated away from me. I'll take the batshit crazy Libertarians over the monied parties, and I don't see anything changing that any time soon.

The only reason I remain a registered Republican at this point is the only reason my sister is a registered Democrat: to vote in the primaries. If the Republicans ever run a traditionally conservative candidate for POTUS again, I will vote for him/her in a heartbeat. Until then, the hapless Libertarians probably have my vote at that level.

That's pretty much where I'm at.

I'm so thankful I don't need to be a registered anything to vote in primaries. The democrats around here are becoming as crazy as the republicans (almost.)

Knowing she had less than zero chance to win made my vote okay. I could've just as easily left my vote blank as I didn't like any candidate.

At least you don't have Fritz "Foghorn" Hollings to kick around anymore.

But you do have James Clyburn.

We also don't have Mulvaney any more.

But I like Fritz. He's a good guy.

A. Entrenched, duplicitous, establishment, SJW politician.
B. Billionaire Goofball with a Titanic and fragile ego
C. Honest and decent man in a party of a non-viable economic policy.
D. Left-wing populist woman who's not the sharpest tool in the shed, also a joo

Naturally, I went with option C.
