Nah, I figure TRUMP can only dominate and win in a landslide or collapse totally and lose in a landslide.

No, especially if Hispanic turnout is strong and is even MORE Democratic than it is now. Moderate Republicans will probably go for Hillary too, I know I will.
Change your avatar to a democrat if you do so, or vote Gary Johnson.

Lol @ that stupid logic, it makes no sense. Party loyalty is BS any ways, no thanks.

You are no moderate. You belong to the 5% most extreme posters here.

"Most extreme" how?

Only extremists use words like "never" when talking about candidates.

Nice "logic" there, until you can give factual evidence that I'm "extreme", I don't need to hear your opinions on anything.

There you go. Dismissing me because you don't agree with the factual evidence I gave you, giving more eveidence to the claim that you are an extremist.

Classic Type Beta.

Ok, explain to me how saying "never" to anyone makes me extremist?

Whether you support a candidate or not depends on the circumstances and the other candidates. Logically, one should always support someone in an election and that someone should be the candidate that holds the closest positions to the positions of that voter.

What happens if no candidate is a good fit for the voter's positions? Judging by your political matrix score, you and I are both libertarians, so I can tell you, from my perspective, how this thought process continues. It should apply to you too.

Out of the remaining candidates (TRUMP, Clinton, Sanders, maybe Bloomberg), you should pick the one who is closest to your positions, but who does not jeopardize your key positions.

Clinton and Sanders, like all Democrats save Webb, are against personal liberty. They will try to regulate the minute details of people’s lives, thus making the life hell and not worth living. Of the two, I still have preference for Clinton, since she is less extreme.

Bloomberg has some crazy ideas about particular pet topics, but other than that, could probably be tolerated, though he would increase various taxes and so on.

TRUMP is a businessman. We know that he wants to introduce protectionist tariffs to jump start US industries. We also know that he is a LIBERAL socially. He is no practicing Christian and he couldn't care less about conservative agenda.

Out of these four viable candidates, TRUMP is the closest to libertarian policies you can get. Saying never to him, just because he personally offended you, is either stupidity or extremism and I hope it's extremism.

Lol at Trump being considered even CLOSE to libertarian. He's no libertarian, calling for mass surveillance on houses of worship, putting a religious community inside databases, outright banning that religious community from entering the U.S, building a wall and mass deporting people while being in absolute LOVE with eminent domain is NO libertarian, I'll tell you that right now.

And why should I vote for the candidate who is outright hostile and detrimental to my community?

None of that is going to happen and you know it. TRUMP is a LIBERAL and he would never do anything like that.

EDIT: Except for eminent domain. Wink

Sorry, I'm not taking a chance, if he hadn't started spewing vitriol to pretty much everyone, as this forum probably knows, I would have considered Trump, but now? Hell would have to freeze over first.

There is yet time for you to reconsider and prove to yourself you are not Type Beta. Wink
