2016 Election Thread

• like_that

  

  Might as well get a thread going for the official election tomorrow. This thread is the political version of a "game thread."
  
  Predictions?
  
  If you have voted or plan to vote who/what do you plan to vote for (not just presidential election, but what are you checking off on the ballot)?
  
  
  My Prediction is Hillary gets over 300 electoral votes and this thing is called early once Florida goes to her. I think the GOP narrowly holds the senate, and they will hold the house, but lose seats. I do think in 2018 the GOP will gain seats back in both the senate and house. You would think that is good if you are right leaning, but if that happens the GOP will obviously not learn their lesson for 2020. Hillary is going to be the weakest candidate to ever win an election, and she should lose in 2020, but that is up to the GOP looking at the mirror and sucking up their pride.
  
  I voted for Gary Johnson. He isn't the best libertarian candidate, and he has come off as a wacko lately, but I like the libertarian platform and I refuse to be a partisan sheep and vote down the party line for either piece of shit candidate. In DC I voted for the libertarian ticket down the line for council positions. I voted "NO" to recommend statehood for DC.

  I am a republican, but voted for Hillary. She sucks. But I couldn't click Trump's name. He sucks, too. I wasn't going to vote trump just because he had an R next to his name. Hate people who do that. I also think Gary Johnson is kind of a weirdo so I couldn't vote for him. I kinda wish I did because I like the idea of having more than just an R and a D in future elections and debates, but GJ is just bad lol.
  
  Voted Hillary, hate myself for it, but it is what it is

  Voted for Johnson.
  
  Sticking with Trump, 275-263.
  
  Pubs hold the Senate 52-48.
  
  Pubs hold the HOR 235-200.

  Ya know, ya really didnt have to vote for a President if you didnt want to.
  I had fully intended on keeping it blank and just voting on the other offices/issues. The one thing that swayed me to vote for the way I did was the Hillary commercials that kept highlighting the things Trump has said.
  
  
  I fullly believe the Hillary wins. As for the other races.....no idea.

  I will be voting for trump, I also think the GOP takes the house and senate. I will also be voting no on the bullshit judges attempt to serve until 75 when the current law is 70. The wording on it is complete bullshit " should PA judges be able to serve until 75"
  I also think sadly Hillary wins but closer than expected.

  Hilary wins and it's called after Florida. R's keep house and Senate.
  
  I will vote Johnson because the Libertarian platform is closest to what I believe.

  Ugh...sorry, but this nauseates me. No self respecting Republican votes for a Clinton. Punch yourself in the face. You could have not voted or written in your favorite "R' candidate as Kasich did.
  Voting for Clinton makes you a democrat.
  
  I may not decide until I get in the voting booth who I'm voting for, but it sure as hell won't be Clinton, and all the things that go with her.... all the paying for access, accepting payments from foreign governments, cronyism, carelessness with classified information... baldfaced lying to the public...incompetence in her state department blowing the Arab spring and allowing ISIS to flourish and get a foothold. No way, that anyone should vote FOR that.
  It might be better to take my chances with Trump, knowing that if he gets weird or crazy, there will be plenty of resistance on both sides of the aisle. If Clinton wins and if the Ds control congress....you won't have a chance to be a republican again.

  I'm a conservative living in Florida. I voted for Clinton because Trump is the biggest joke our nation has ever put on the ballot. I voted for Republicans in the House and Senate. In Florida, I voted for legalization of medical marijuana and against solar panel use being regulated by current utility companies.

• isadore

  gosh a ruddies guess what guys, Hillary maybe breaking the glass ceiling that prevented women from serving in the highest office in the land. gosh it would be a significant historical event. a landmark in time. Quaker, Spock, Crimson and the rest of us, can all be there for it. Isn't that something we can all look forward to.

  Voting for Gary Johnson for President. No idea about anything else, need to do research tonight. Think Hillary Clinton wins in an electoral landslide and will be drinking a Crown and Coke when it's called since it will mean Donald Trump won't be President.
• Classyposter58

  

  Gonna vote for Trump today. Absolutely hate it but we can't have a Clinton/Warren ran government. At least he's a republican.
  
  Hillary winning in my opinion will lead to 4 years of nasty politics as you'll essentially have a 4 year campaign of Ryan against Clinton which will be the 2020 election if she wins

  I would, if the woman who has the honor was worth a damn. But in reality, it shouldn't matter if it is a woman or a man - voting for novelty is stupid.

  She would never settle for Crown. Not quite high enough on that top shelf.

  I sure the hell hope Ryan runs in 2020. He would win in a landslide against Hillary.

  I read in one article that Trump has registered as a Democrat, Independent and Republican in the past. I am not sure what he is. Maybe another Bloomberg.

  Trump is an opportunist. there is no republican running in this election....maybe McMullin.
• Fab4Runner

  

  I voted for Gary Johnson. Thought about voting for Hillary, but just couldn't do it. Voted for Republicans for house and senate.

  Exactly. This election is about making history, shattering glass ceilings, and voting for the First Female President. Thank you isadore, and others, for showing that in a world of sexism, women are still able to overcome adversity and lead this country at the highest level.
