Unusually High Number of Voters Don't Want Trump or Clinton

 Voters, unprompted, are writing in none of the above.

Unusually High Number of Voters Don't Want Trump or Clinton
Todd: Voters, unprompted, are writing in none of the above.

8:29 AM, May 20, 2016 | By Jenna Lifhits

A soon to be released NBC/Wall Street Journal poll finds that a high number of voters are volunteering, "unprompted," that they would not vote for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, NBC's Chuck Todd said Friday.

"Our pollsters on the second night said, we're getting an unusual high number of folks who are volunteering neither [Trump nor Clinton] when you ask them the general election matchup," Todd said. "It was not ... prompted."

The high unfavorable ratings of both candidates, Todd said, creates a third party "opening" for a "none of the above" candidate.

Kind of high, but I'll go with 33%.
America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign. -Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

It's going to be one or the other.  The winner will be the one who gets the most people to hold their nose and vote for them.

Received a call from RNC today, and the lady's ears are probably still burning.  Have voted in every POTUS election since 1976, and told her this will be the first, I will not be pulling the lever for GOP.   Only Constitution Party POTUS candidate will get  my vote this time.   F Trump and his gullible minions.

I've received letters from the GOP asking for donations to stop Hillary.  No way.  I no longer consider myself a member of the GOP.  Secondly I haven't donated to the GOP for quite sometime. I only donate to individual candidates.  Got a letter also from Paul Ryan wanting money...  :silly: :silly: :silly:  The establishment still doesn't get it.

I'm hoping it's 51%.

On election night I'm not going to be sitting around hoping for a Hillary win, but I'm not going to have my name involved with trying to get Trump elected either. I'll write a name in and then vote the Party line.    But here in WA, we haven't voted Republican since 1984, and  election are most often decided long before our polls close anyway.

315 million people and these two are the best we can muster up?
