    Is that why Biden leads Trump by double digits?

    A 3rd party candidate could definitely change the landscape of the voting, but it can also go against trump as his base will always suck up to him, but there will be plenty of people who voted for trump that are republicans that might lean to a 3rd party candidate as well.

    Until we have instant runoff, no 3rd party candidate will ever get the support they truly deserve.

    Unless the power-hungry leeches in Congress are willing to vacate their power, we'll never have instant runoff.

    Ergo, we're stuck with the crappy system we've got.

    It will be Howard Shultz, he likes Trumps "tax cuts" more than he likes being a democrat.

    Like many of us I believe she was once a conservative. I heard her say her family is.

    He would have done better than you think he would have just for the fact he would have actually campaigned there. Hillary didn't.

    You can be in the business world and also be a Democrat.

    Do you really think the country was ready for a democratic socialist?. I don’t believe that all the Union dems in the Midwest would have voted for him.
    Maybe they will this time around if he wins?

    If he did that to most of his cabinet maybe there would not be so much turnover?

    I am in favor of it. However I would never want to make assumptions about what kind of beer a man or woman wants to drink, so I will implement a monthly beer stipend so that you may consume whichever free beer you want.

    I believe you have the right plan for America. Can I volunteer for your campaign?

    Also, I would be willing to receive and test the beer stipend to make sure it works as intended.

    Have spent number of years there and have many friends in the midwest, many just had it the Clintons, especially Hillary. She avoided the midwest on purpose because she would have been challenged big time by Schlitz drinking democratic military unionized members of the democratic party.

    So does S2. And when you throw in the free beer factor, well, it could very well be enough to get Trump reelected.

    Go, Team S2!!

    It's not the % of people, it's where they live
