    Who do you plan to vote for?

    Now that Trump is the official nominee of the Republican party, I figured it would be interesting to take a poll. The way I see it, we have a choice between the 2 major parties, a 3rd party or not voting/write-in.

    Personally I am undecided. I might vote for Trump, mainly because of the Supreme Court or I may not vote.

    I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.

    NO ONE BUT PAUL
    “I don’t think that there will be any curtailing of Donald Trump as president,” he said. "He controls the media, he controls the sentiment [and] he controls everybody. He’s the one who will resort to executive orders more so than [President] Obama ever used them." - Ron Paul

    If I lived in a swing state, I'd vote GOP. Scalia's death changed my thinking quite a bit. Plus, Trump is still pissing off the neocons/warmongers and that's a damn good sign. One of the main speaker on his big night spoke out for us gays and called out the "illegal wars". When did you ever think that would happen at a Republican convention?

    Since I live in a state that is almost guaranteed to vote for The Evil Queen (Massachusetts), I have a lot more options. I used to like Gary Johnson, but he's almost too establishment for me these days. If I'm going to cast a protest vote, I want it to mean something, ya know what I'm saying?

    Basically, I'm undecided at this point.

    My handsome husband, BTW, is voting Trump. He has far more traditional political views than I do, so the choice for him is always D v. R, and he hates Hillary these days.

    Why are "not voting" and "write-in" lumped together?

    They are entirely different things (whereas voting for Hillary and voting for Trump are essentially identical ...).

    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    There should also be an undecided. These polls always need more options. I keep sayin' but nobody listens.

    Johnson, the only one sane on 50+ liberty issues, though he's not right on several things. I wish the other third party candidates well, and hope the Rs and Ds burn in hell.

    Johnson. I voted in this poll.

    This is the breakout opportunity of the century for the LP to gain traction and begin the breakup of the current Democratic-Republican duopoly.

    Trump and Clinton are both ugly statists and authoritarians. To vote for either would be evil IMNSHO.

    I am resigning from my position in my county Republican party now that Trump has officially attained the nomination. (I feel cleaner already). If Trump wins the GE in November, I will be changing my party registration back to Libertarian, where I came from in 2007.

    "Do As I Say, Not As I Do"

    Isn't it ironic that those who are against voting voted for the option "Not Voting"? You just can't help yourselves, can you?

    Voted for Johnson in hopes to improve third party numbers. Cannot vote for Trump or Hillary and still be able to sleep.

    Hillary has been really pissing off a lot of people for decades. She's 100% proven to be completely awful.

    Trump did not go out of his way to screw Ron or Rand Paul.

    If our country wasn't a fked up mess we'd hear as much about Hillary Clinton as Rosalynn Carter. But, no, Hillary, who is awful on so many levels is still around.

    Voting for Trump. Hillary is disgusting, far more nausea inspiring than Obama.

    If Michelle Obama runs for President in 2032, it's be like now. I might be a bit older than many of you. No fking way to Hillary Clinton. Without the whole "Hillary makes me sick" argument, the argument I was making last year was No Bush, no Clinton. They all sucked. Proven to suck. Trump isn't proven to suck. He probably will, but we don't know that for a fact.

    Last time, I wrote in Ron. The time before, Palin. I might've voted for Romney if they didn't screw our Maine Delgates and Ron Paul.

    Things always get worse. The new President is always the worst ever. And I'm not saying Trump won't be that. I'm saying I don't want to hear Hillary Clinton's name, I don't want to see her on TV, I just want her to go away. He's long, long, long overstayed whatever welcome she had.

    Congratulations, and just know you're not the only one resigning from a position in the GOP over Trump. Danny Jones, Laura Ebke, John Moore, Joel Davis, and others are fleeing the GOP.

    LOL & OMG at the Hillary voters, if you have gone from Ron Paul in 2008 to Hillary in 2016 then......



    Come on RPF get the court jester not the criminal, she is just going to get impeached anyways, and we will have a President Kaine.

    I thought about it and now it doesn't look like I can change it. I guess this will just have to measure those that have made a decision for now.

    The results of this poll really do speak for the gradual erosion of virtue within our movement; consequently, the movement itself. The erosion of respect for/adherence to the principles that establish the site's professed mission is a trend that is becoming particularly observable.


    Here, on a platform that historically prides itself on promoting the principles of Individual Liberty as its primary mission statement, we have a man winning a poll for the leadership of our nation, who openly and admittedly, would force an Individual or group of Individuals to relinquish their property to another Individual or group of Individuals at the barrel of a government gun. And he makes his position known in the name of Liberty, itself, no less. This is the most fundamental principal of Individual Liberty, people. To relinquish that primary fundamental principle is effectively relinquishing and rejecting the concept of Individual Liberty itself. Granted, I get that most people who actively participate in coercion understand very little of its function and subsequently demonstrate no regard for its consequence. But such action is not, in my view, acceptable on a platform where promoting the principles of Individual Liberty itself is understood to be its primary mission. It just isn't.

    Anyway. I really do hope that some of you reserve some time to consider and evaluate the scope and magnitude of your choice. And it is a choice. Make no mistake about that.
