Apparently this is just for North Dakota.

I am shocked someone is even polling North Dakota.

We've seen hucksters in slick suits from back East before. Don't even apply.
Considering half of the State's population lives in three more liberal cities, I'm not too surprised at the results.

We're the world's fourth largest nuclear power...or tied for third.

And it sounds like Christie is who Trump really wanted for VP but Trump's democrat kids wanted Pence instead.

Pence will have some 'midwest' appeal, even in a state on the other side of the Mississippi, and has some Christian cred as well. I doubt the frontrunner's epiphany will stand much scrutiny past the nomination, if it has not already been debunked (not that I am claiming to know his heart).

Did ya ever have one of those Schwinn Stingray Bikes when you were a kid and jump onto the banana seat the wrong way? I would rather do that than vote for either! :hard crying:

Without Johnson being a spoiler "Another candidate" would be outpolling both of them.

The upshot of all this is that the majority of the country cannot stand either candidate.

Which means that the majority of Americans cannot those that voted for both candidates.  Maybe if we strip voting rights from those that cast votes for Trump and Hillary in the primaries...

...we'll finally get nominees that don't make Satan look good in comparison?

I saw a Trumper declaring that we shouldn't have delegates or an electoral college because they violate "the 1 man 1 vote rule".

Trump does love the uneducated and they love him right back.

It's how he's gotten as far as he has.
