    While a 3rd party can work on the lower elections it can't for president because of the way the presidential election system works. Until the system is changed to actual vote counts there will be only 2 parties for presidential elections.

    The best chance a 3rd party has is to gain in lower elections and power then take over one of the 2 parties. That was been the goal of the Tea Party.

    A vote for a 3rd party when you cant vote for Hillary equals a vote for TRUMP.

    Keep splitting the DEM ticket. :Thumbsup:

    There's a comment I've made several times over the years when a presidential election was the topic of discussion: "The way our government is structured we could elect Howdy Doody to the presidency and the country would still be o.k." I never realized it could be a possibility.

    Apparently Hillery ask for, aka negotiated for a $12,000,000 "donation" to do an event in Morocco....quid pro quo again, just ahead of a "state" visit...
    The woman is selling the USA out....getting rich... and just transferred almost $2 BILLION DOLLARS out of the country...
    Now how does a career politicians amass so much wealth with only public service jobs?!
    Sure...some is her "foundation" money...and the family all has lifetime jobs...sounds like a tax-free family corporation...I just hate being made a fool....and right now Hillery is laughing all the way to the bank, picking everyones pockets, in the USA, and oversees...

    Surely you jest. How many career politicians in public service jobs can you name that aren't wealthy?

    Good old Tim Leary was right....turn on, tune in and

    drop out. I haven't turned on is many moons but I've

    been tuned in big time with what has happened to

    our country in the last eight years. If nurse Ratchet

    wins I'm officially dropping out for my remaining

    years and just try to enjoy what I have left. I've had

    it.

    It's better to stand alone then be a blind sheep following what the media tells you to do.

    Sheep only need one lone shepherd to lead them astray. It would be just as easy to call Trump supporters "sheep."

    IF she is so confident she is going to win then why is she transferring her money to country where the US can get her? Could it be that both sides are doing real legitimate polls and know what the true feelings of the people are?

    In my neighborhood I am the only one with a sign in the yard. When I stopped over to a friends house all the signs were for Hilary. I asked him about it he said all the Trump signs get stolen.

    On our drive Saturday Trump rules SE Ohio and not just the standard size yard signs there were a number of them that 3'x4', a few even bigger. On was 4x8 up on a 30-40 foot tower made of creates. On a home made 4x8 it said "politically incorrect, correct politically". I want to see someone go down there and try and steal the signs.:Thumbsup:

    I would think it is safe to say that in any presidential election year SE Ohio would be ruled by signs for a Republican candidate, sort of like the New Albany area (just not for the same reasons).
