Bill Clinton won in 1992 because of Ross Perot.

Gore lost the election in 2000 because of Ralph Nader. If Gore would have persued the Nader crowd, he may have won.

Third party votes do make a difference and influence the outcome of elections. They can change the way the two party candidates approach campaigning and legislating.

However, I see where you're coming from and the polls indicate more voters feel the exact opposite of you with regards to Trump and Hillary.

Hillary, while deeply flawed, represents a candidate of stability. Trump on the other hand, represents a candidate of chaos, authoritarianism, pettiness, and political incompetence.

I would not trust polling nearly as much as the past in this election for a whole hell of a lot of reasons.

Hillary is not the candidate for stability -- she is what we're accustomed to but she is absolutely an agent of chaos.

Open borders, refugees with little vetting and basically the exact same policies that President Bush and President Obama have done respectively.

Polls, this election, are completely corruptible and it is quite clear that Clinton fingers are almost everywhere -- and I say that as a Socialist, not some lunatic fringe right-wing lifelong Conservative.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder from WebMD

But there’s a difference between being self-absorbed, often called a narcissist, and having narcissistic personality disorder, which is a mental illness.

If you can recognize a few of the traits below, that’s someone who’s self-absorbed. If he has most of them, he might have the disorder. A therapist can get to the bottom of it.


What You Might See
* Think about himself most of the time and talk about himself a lot
* Crave attention and admiration
* Exaggerate his talents and achievements
* Believe he’s special
* Set unrealistic goals
* Have wide, fast mood swings
* Have a hard time taking others’ feelings seriously
* Strive to win, whatever it takes
* Fantasize about unlimited success, money, and power

Wtf did I just read? Stability? You want your fricking country sold out to the highest bidder huh? Trump is not the best candidate, but frick any American voting for Hillary. Literally saying, idc about corruption. Idc if her team organized violence at Trump rallies. Idc if she sold Uranium to Russians. Idc if she took money from foreign countries. Idc if she committed perjury to the doj.

The Americans voting for her deserve to get what they have coming, I just hope they could somehow leave the ones that "told them so" out of it.
