An average of YouGov surveys over the past two weeks indicates that Sanders primary voters who say they will vote for a third-party candidate are, by about a 3-to-1 ratio, more likely to choose Clinton than Trump when the third-party candidates aren’t an option. A full-throated Sanders endorsement could push many of these voters into the Clinton column, even with third-party candidates on the ballot. Their shift would make Clinton’s margin over Trump in the national polls about the same with third-party candidates as without.

In the breakdown of the poll, Johnson drew four percent of the Republican vote, two percent of the Democratic vote and 10 percent of independents. Stein, a physician and two-time candidate for governor of Massachusetts, drew one percent of the Republican vote, three percent of Democrats and 7 percent of more liberal-leaning independents.

So maybe a Third-Party Run Could Hurt Clinton More Than Trump.

My bet is they stay home and don't waste their time.

Un. Hinged.
And if Trump is elected and there are a bunch of terrorist attacks it will be because he's not Muslim.

So, ignoring the fact that Obama is not a Muslim, according to the OP, we should be electing a Muslim for president. Right? That's the best way to prevent terrorist attacks?

I don't care where he was born, actually.....

I'm saying he is Muslim, that doesn't make me a birther

and just because someone believes in something you don't doesn't make them unhinged...stop with the personal attacks...if you don't have something constructive to offer, move on, b/c some of us want to have a productive conversation....
Anyone that believes that Obama is a Muslim is just Birther-Lite. do you have any record of him attending a Mosque?


You actually believe he is the reason for a lack of a major attack, others blame him for a lack of action because of the attacks, no win.

Lol. What is wrong with these people?

Again, he drinks beer, eats pork, doesn't fast for Ramadan, if he was kneeling and praying toward Mecca five times a day surely someone would have noticed this by now.

I don't think he's an adherent of any particular religion.

Yes, I know, the cremebrulees of the world will dance around and shriek that he's hiding his religion to carry out his nefarious plans.

I bet, if and when Trump takes over, we will have terroriit attacks out the gazoo...then they'll say,
Ah, hah, look see, they are attacking b/c of the Republicans.

Will be interesting to see what happen if Trump is elected.
What are you talking about? We have had terrorist attacks during Obama's time in office. Quite a few actually. Boston bombing, San Bernadino, Fort Hood, Orlando.
