Anyone start an RNC discussion thread yet?

You stated: "but surely there's a better compromise of liberal/conservative. I'm a mix of both, which means there's no one for me." Gary Johnson pretty much fits the bill.

So the question before you is - do you vote for someone who more closely aligns with your beliefs and who can do the job, or do you play the absurd game the two main parties have placed before you?

Don't fall for that "lesser of 2 evils" argument - there are more than two choices out there.

I've read his polling numbers aren't falling far short of the 15% or so he'd need to be invited to televised debates.

Well, there was that one guy who set himself on fire trying to burn the flag. One of those brutal cops said "You're on fire, stupid". That was sort of violent.

That cop's attitude toward stupid people was in need of a light shined n it.

"Trump tied most of these woes to a “rigged system” ― but then suggested his experience in manipulating that system through the years would now work to the country’s advantage. “Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it,” he said."

Who does your cat plan to vote for? I've heard the feline demographic polls favorable for fishy candidates.

After he learned the story of how the Clinton's abandoned Socks to the secretary because of his disagreements with Buddy, despite his being the older pet, my cat has vowed never to vote for Clinton. Plus I think he likes the idea of voting for the candidate with coloration that most closely matches his.

I had almost forgotten about Buddygate.
