So she can't be president alone, she has to be co president because she literally has no clue what she is doing.

There goes her "women are equal to men."

She can't do the job she's elected for. She should not be president.

Name checks out.

LMFAO. Who else really, really wants Trump to choose Palin as his running mate? That'd be the funniest shit ever.

Trump would never choose plain as a VP, anyone suggesting that is ignorant and stupid.

Trump will likely pick someone virtually Unknown I think right near the end, McCain style.

This person will be a lot like trump.

Doubtful, he already said he is releasing his SC picks and won't pick anyone else but on that list.as far as VP, it's most likely going to be a female govenenor.

Rick Scott.

Not a chance. Im telling ya its going to be a female governor.

Names?

Joni Ernst

She's young, her position on Iraq makes me sour, but she seems like a good choice economically.

Would swing Iowa too.

Personally, I can't really imagine Hillary not taking Florida. The Hispanic vote is too much in her favor for Trump to win that state, IMO (granted, he's pretty close to her in the polls, but when it comes down to it I don't think he'll be able to take Florida).

Even if Trump won Virginia, North Carolina, Iowa, and Ohio, he'd still come up short electorally.

Kind of early to be speculating, really. But whatever.

Here is my question, I've noticed a decent number of people here at least seem to not like Hilary. So if it comes down to her vs Trump will you vote for her or just not vote at all?

More importantly, is it right to vote for someone just because you hate the other person a little bit more? To me I would rather not vote at all then vote for the lesser of two evils. I don't think you should vote just to vote..at least when it comes to important things.

Florida going blue is pretty laughable, tbh, only strong democratic candidates get Florida and that's due to places like Miami and Orlando.

Virginia is swinging blue for some reason, but if trump wins Florida, North Carolina and Ohio, he's on 253, which is pretty good.

I just think if you dislike both people you shouldn't vote.

floridians are as conservative as the Deep South including their Cuban/Puerto Rican minority who hate illegal immigrants.

so if I dislike sadiq Khan and zac goldsmith, I shouldn't vote on who is London mayor?

I'm talking about a heavy dislike, not merely not agreeing with them on a few points. So if you do heavily dislike those people, why would you vote for either one of them?

What is this based on?

Hillary appeals to the right demographics to get Florida, I think. And hell, to your previous point, apparently a lot of conservatives dislike Trump and thinks he's putting up a facade, so I doubt they'd be flocking to Trump in excess in the general. (Admittedly, something similar can be said for Hillary when it comes to progressives).

Indeed, but he'd still come up short.

>right demographics
Minorities? Old people? People who don't work? What demographics do you mean? (Admittedly, you countered your own argument)

Idk, swing states be swing states. I imagine he'd win the states I mentioned and NV, IO and CO putting him on 274. It's going to be very close.
