Who would you vote for? (see OP first)

It's the only sensible thing to do.

 

Well I might write in Christopher Walken. That would be awesome.

 

Well, if Chris Walken is on the table then let me put Jeff Goldblum in the ring too.

 

If we're expanding the candidate pool, then I'd like to add TOM SELLECK!

. Give him a year as president and he'd straighten this fugging mess out for GOOD!

 

My heart says Howie, my brain says Joe.

 

Did the libertarians win a significant number of seats in the house and senate?

 

Irrelevant to the hypothetical. If you believe it to be relevant, state why.

 

It's completely relevant.

While I might support the policies of the LP candidate, I know that if congress consists of, exclusively, Democrats and Republicans, a LP president will have little to no success in bringing those policies into being.
If the LP holds enough seats in congress to deny both the GOP and Democrats an outright majority, this changes.

Thus, my question:
Did the libertarians win a significant number of seats in the house and senate?



.

 

I have an issue with you leaving the alternative at exclusively Dem or GOP. If that were the case, would that affect your vote if only the two parties were represented? For example, if the Congress was exclusively GOP, would you vote GOP to get things done or Dem to gum up the works?

But while we typically have one or the other in the majority, they are usually close enough that things still get done with people from one party siding with the other on singular issues. I would say, given that a Libertarian, theoretically in the case of politicians, are socially liberal and fiscally conservative, that they could work with both side better for compromise.

 

Irrelevant - we're discussing -my- choice, and so -my- standards apply.
Did the libertarians win a significant number of seats in the house and senate?

 

Trump.. the right man for the times.

 

Well then define significant. More seats than either of the other two or enough that the other two are in balance?

 

i already did - sufficient that neither the Dems not the GOP has an outright majority.
Did the libertarians win a significant number of seats in the house and senate?

 

ok fine. In the House the Dems and the GOP each have 217 seats with the last seat going to the Libertarians, plus all 6 of the non-voting positions. In the senate, Dems and GOP each have 48 seats, with the remaining two going to the Green Party. Naturally who ever you vote for will decide the VP as well.

 

Trump.

 

You realized that with what I gave you, the Dems and the GOP are deadlocked, such that if it's ever one against the other, then the libertarian members can go with what the president wants, breaking the ties in the president's favor, assuming a Libertarian president, correct?

 

I will return to the US and vote for Trump on one issue alone; the Supreme Court.

Biden will follow Obama’s example and view the Constitution as simply literature. Not as a blue print.
The vagueness of law is dangerous.

His decision to nominate a woman because she is a woman also presages his notions of quota over anything else.

I have no problem with a female VP but limiting the opportunity to only half the population is frankly quite sexist.

 

You realized that the two justices that Trump put in SCOTUS actually voted against him in the case of NY getting access to his tax records, right?

 

In theory, with all else being equal, yes.

 

As pretty much everyone fully expected.

 

So why do you not feel that such are sufficient numbers to then vote for the Libertarian candidate?

 

Vote for Trump twice, then Ted Cruz with Dan Creshaw as VP.. AND ....since Trump has leveled the playing field, then Crenshaw as POTUS,

Turns out, Archie Bunker was right.
