As God is my judge, if it comes down to Hillary versus Trump, for the first time in my adult life I'll sit out an election. I couldn't bear to vote for either one. (Trump isn't right wing, for what it's worth; he's just a con man and a blowhard playing the xenophobe card; he gave money to and supported liberal causes his entire life. If I were the type to go in for conspiracy theories I'd say he and Hillary cooked this up together. If you feed people's fears and prejudices they'll vote for you even if it's blatantly obvious you're a liar and an opportunist.)
Let's have some fun and see who Eupidia's members would elect the new president of US of America.
TRUMP for President!
Its the person that has most chances of being elected! America today has become Mexico's playground. Mexican women get pregnant like crazy in Mexico, in USA and deliver their babies in American soil dumping the financial responsibility of raising them, to the american public. Mexican drug dealers have caused and continue to cause thousand of victims daily. The way Mexicans are multiplying in USA has reached epidemic proportions and only a Wall resembling Chinese wall might slow it a bit down, but there is no way of stopping it!
Mexico is draining USA and only Trump with our support can do something about it. As Trump has said Mexicans are the worst rapists! America is at the moment being raped by Mexicans.
Muslims in the other hand are the worst! They have embraced terror and killed Americans.
Its the last chance to make a stand to protect America. If Democrats win this election cycle the process of mexicanisation of America is in full force ahead.
If you know somebody who votes in USA ask them to do the right thing: Vote TRUMP!
You know, the founding fathers had this right as well. George Washington warned against the dangers of the party system. I've read them very carefully, and have always marveled at their acumen, but I didn't pay enough attention to that. He was absolutely right. Too bad they didn't address it in some way.
None of those listed. The reasonable candidates (Paul for Republicans, Webb for Democrats) dropped out already, leaving only ultra-nationalist Trump, ultra-conservative Cruz, ultra-hawk Rubio, clueless Kasich (who you forgot, lol), ultra-left Sanders, and ultra-corrupt Clinton. No thank you.
The only interesting contest for me is now the Libertarian Party contest between Gary Johnson and John McAfee.
No different than my staying home altogether...a totally thrown away vote.
You can see how multi-party countries work by looking at a state like Israel, although the same pattern can be observed in European countries. Wacko minority parties can hold the system hostage. (That's how the Nazi's were able to get power, and why modern Israel is imprisoned by antique religious laws.)
In some versions, there's complete paralysis. In others, each legislative crisis means that the whole coalition can collapse. You wind up getting leaders who are only supported by a small section of the voting public, leading to instability.
American democracy has been stable for so long because a two party system was conducive to moderation.
In fact, that's how we got Trump: too many contenders for the Republican nomination because they all thought Hillary Clinton would be easy to beat. So, even though Trump has a ceiling of about 35%, some of which, in some states, comes from Democratic ranks, he could win. Or, they can split it up, leading to a contested convention, which means deals and coalitions, with whose results nobody will be happy.
It's a recipe for disaster.
This is sort of poly sci 101.

As for Ron Paul, he's a dangerously naive loon, and Webb was a total non-entity.

No, I didn't forget. The only candidates listed are the once with reasonable chance of winning. As I said in my first posts, it's only for fun and for most rational people the election is between the bigger and lesser evil. The damage control mode.None of those listed.
