Hagar Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Well my die is cast. Unusual experience for me. I voted for someone I like, and against one in particular, I don't like. What are thoughts? LumRaiderFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shovel Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I'm about to leave work and go vote. It is disheartening... When there were 17 Republican canidates, I was optomistic, thinking Trump was the joker on the stage and would force candidates to talk about real issues. I didn't see this coming, but should have. The Republican party is reaping what it has sown, and this is what they have to show for it. The have completely spurned the Tea party and the working class. I will cast a vote for someone whom I believe would be a good President, but won't get the chance. On the plus side, even Trump should be a better option than a crooked liar or old, white socialist.

PN-G bamatex Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'm just saying, if it's Hillary versus Trump, I'm voting for Gary Johnson. bullets13, Englebert and 5GallonBucket 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Personally, I'd find it hard to find anyone who I wouldn't vote for over Hillary. Imo she's in it to get what she can for Hillary. Only plus is I think she has bigger balls than Obama. Englebert and baddog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxHoops Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I would have never believed Donald Trump could win the GOP nomination. It is looking more and more like a certainty. Smitty, you may have something with this low information voter thing. BUT, I think it is pretty clear there are plenty of them voting Republican. There are a lot of theories on who to vote for and why. I respect those of you who vote that way and that is my personal view. The guy I voted for today came in third. I think the die is almost cast at this point. 5GallonBucket, LumRaiderFan, Hagar and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the die is almost cast at this point. Your man was my second choice, but Trump is looking like Secretariet in the Derby at this point. My first inclination is to blame LIV. But looking back at his initial popularity when he (gasp) disregarded PC, and talked "tough", I'm more inclined to think its extreme frustration. After the last 8 yrs of Govt, that most Rep perceive as the most damaging, irresponsible, foreign policy in modern times, and the repeated bypassing of two branches of our Govt (which I'm afraid both current leaders will want to emulate), and the real killer, the insistence that we take in refugees from the Middle East (and inevitably some terrorist), I think many Rep voters are fed up with politicians. Here's Trump talking tough, like he's got a pair. And he's an outsider, plus a successful (hmm) businessman to get the economy back on track. I can see his appeal to John/Jane Doe. Now my disclaimer, if I made my living handicapping politics, I wouldn't be able to buy a pack of gum, so get a box of salt and sprinkle all over this post Englebert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I agree with you 5GB. It appears conservatives, as I (we) would define them are headed for extinction. The Rep party of today has moved from the right to the center. Unfortunately, the Dems are now ultra left. Texas is one of the last bastions of conservatism. And it's Texas Independence Day. Only reminds me how bad we need another.

77 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 what the GOP is now doing to Trump with the attacks prove to me that they are no different than the political elite democrats they are both in fear of losing their power and rein over the peons of the good old USA! And Know I didn't vote for Trump but they are doing their best to force me to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
