It's simple. Sorry you're having trouble understanding. The question posed to you is ---which candidate do you support? Will you answer or will there be crickets chirping?

You're not the only one in this thread who is refusing to tell us who your candidate is. What are you all so afraid of?

Some voters are for ABT (anyone but Trump). All that are left for me is one that I suppose I can pinch my nose enough to vote for (Cruz), one that I will only vote for if I think the race is close enough in my state that she would need it to beat Trump (Hillary), two I simply will not vote for (Trump and Sanders) and the 3rd party folks or a write-in. I leaning towards a write-in.

I'm in a similar boat.
I was not impressed with any of the candidates ob either side. I was hoping for a strong conservative one from the GOP but was utterly let down(IMHO).
Problem is, to me Trump makes the worst option, such a bad one actually that I would even vote for Clinton to avoid Trump and as it seems this is how it is going......

Ah, this actually serves to illustrate that Trump is a rather LOUSY businessman! You see if he had simply invested his inheritance in an index fund in 1988, his net worth would be as much as $13 billion instead of 4 billion.

Yes, you can give him credit for growing his wealth and not pissing it all away as some people do but he couldn't even keep up with the S&P 500! Some "World class" businessman
This says nothing about the failed ventures and bankruptcies either.

What he is, is a world class B.S. artist and I guess he had you fooled.

Now.. Bill Gates or Warren Buffet? Trump is nowhere even close!

Don't forget it was Hillary that first insinuated Obama may be a Muslim-when it was to her advantage in 2008. She also stated that working class whites would never vote for Obama in 2008, and predicted that that would be the reason for her win.

Trump is a joke-but Hillary is not someone I can support, even as a very "liberal" person-she is just so pathologically dishonest. I'm not ready to make any predictions but Hillary has very little "excitement" around her campaign, and I think an Independent candidate could have a very strong chance, for the fist time in a long while. Hillary is the most disliked and distrusted candidate, only beating Trump himself. If Trump were to win, it could also bring about the revolution that is needed to rework our Government and election process-so many people would not acknowledge or legitimize his Presidency and that could get people thinking about the consequences of our Government not representing the majority of Americans.

There are plenty of people who didn't inherit money but managed to become billionaires. If it's so easy, then why haven't you done it yet?

What they SHOULD do is bite the bullet, realize they screwed up and do whatever they can to stop Trump from either getting the delegates he needs or winning the general. Then when the midterms roll around, people will be so fed up with Hillary and the democrats that they should do well in them. Next 4 years, they learn from their mistake and find a candidate who is actually electable for POTUS.

Remember, the GOP has never said to rally around Trump, the problem with the GOP is they provided no alternative. Their wunderkind was Marco Rubio, who nobody liked, and they chose him after the neoconservatives first choice, Jeb Bush, was humiliated by Trump and left with his tail between his legs. That left the party with Ted Cruz as the only clear challenger, and the establishment hates him only slightly less than they do Trump.

The GOP has painted itself into a corner. They created the conditions that are allowing Trump to flourish, and now they are stuck with a result that they don't like, Trump himself.

Obummer and Killery haven't worked an honest day's work in their lives. Neither could run a simple Kool-Aid stand.
