If He were alive today, would Jesus vote?

Of what you believe that you know about Jesus, whether you're a Christian or not, do you believe that Jesus, if He were alive today, would vote in the presidential elections? Who might He vote for if it ends up being between Clinton and Trump?

I happen to think He would not vote, if He felt that either candidate opposed His principles, values and teachings.

If he did vote, one would think it would be for the most humane of the candidates.
On the other hand, he might vote for the most racist candidate, it really depends on how you interpret Jesus.

Either Sanders or Trump, is what I think.

I don't get the sense that Jesus was at all racist. He was consumed with 'his Father's house,' so...going with that, it might stand to reason, He might not vote. And leave the voting to others. Did they vote back during His time? lol I know not like how we do today, but wonder what He thought about secular governments, and such. Pontius Pilate seemed secular.

Naw. Knowing him, he'd probably call them all phariseese.

Considered running for office; yet the whole thing is corrupt...

Would have to kick out the money lenders again; yet this time from the government its self, and anyone who has stood against it has been assassinated.

So there are documentaries explaining how the elections are clearly rigged; not sure what they will do with Bernie, yet doubt he will last long if he gets in.

So Yeshua wouldn't be so dumb to vote, as it doesn't mean anything. :(

WWJD?
I was always told to say that at school. But everytime I did, I could never come up with an answer.
I honestly have no idea what Jesus would do. Something cool, I'm sure.

But I personally think you should vote. If for no other reason than that you can.

Technically, the will of God and Christ supersede any of our votes.

They may allow our collective wills to decide -but the decision is ultimately theirs.
There are examples in the bible of God superseding the wills of men directly -affecting their decisions -though not specifically in an election scenario -yet possibly.

When God gave Nebuchadnezzar attributes of an animal, this was said......

This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men
