Now it's Hillary vs. Trump... how will you pick?

My favorite third party candidate is Zultan in the transhumanism party. He will work to make you live forever (or longer). He will work to make you a cyborg (with superhuman strength). And he will help with designer babies (you can genetically engineer your baby to make it super or just have green eyes).

Nah, he's too mainstream.
I'm still voting Libertarian.

OK wait a second. I did a simple algebraic equation. Bernie Sanders needs to get more than 90% of the remaining delegates to win the Democrat contest. So obviously Sanders lost. I will report on the Republican one once the data comes in.

Are you counting the super delegates? (before they're hatched)

 

[robocop (actually)]

I screwed up. I will do the algebra and report back when I am done.

 

[robocop (actually)]

I can report using the data at

http://www.politico.com/2016-election/results/delegate-count-tracker

that the equation for Sanders to win more votes by the end is 469+x*3182>1114+(1-x)*3182 , where x is the fraction of votes he gets. The solution is over 0.6 or 60%; just over it. 469 and 1114 come from their current count, including super delegates, and 3182 is the delegates remaining.

For the Republicans, before Kentucky,

the equation I made from the same site is 347+x*1699>426+(1-x)*1699. The solution is that Donald Trump needs to win over 80% remaining to win! So I was way off in thinking it was just Hillary vs. Trump.

 

[Politesse]

I'm voting for Hillary if I must, but reserve the right to despise myself in the morning.

 

[robocop (actually)]

The final equations for tonight are 477+x*3171>1117+(1-x)*3171 for Bernie and 375+x*1635>462+(1-x)*1635 for Trump. The solutions are that Bernie Sanders needs barely over 60% to win and that Trump needs 52.7% to win.

Lets just face facts. I would be the best Premier of the US which I will rename The Norse Socialist Republic. Think about it, Norse, hentai, legal pot, candy, genetic research to make Cat-Girls real. Don't forget the statues of Odin, Thor, Freya, Lenin, Stalin, Tito, and ME!

I remember not being happy that my choices were Obama and Romney, but I sighed and voted Obama because there were just no real other options. For mayor, I voted for the Libertarian candidate, Rupert, the Survivor guy, because at least he's done a lot of work with the community, and isn't distanced from it. It felt weird though, casting a vote that I knew was just going to be wasted, and the only benefit is saying I was one of those few that made up that tiny bar down at the bottom. And then I realized the same about my vote for Obama. And this last election I didn't even vote because it was a given my vote would be wasted again, and it was just too big a hassle to justify making the trip from school to my voting place and back to school.

No vote is wasted if the count is reported somehow. Every vote makes the number look more impressive.

I'm voting for the Trump either way, Hilary is a racist lying scumbag criminal. Bernie Sanders is a Socialist, and I can never vote for anyone with a political party which was birthed from Communism, I will Only vote for a Capitalist.

 

[robocop (actually)]

Hilary is a racist lying scumbag criminal.

And Trump is...? And Cruz is...? I'm sorry I'm not trying to be rude... just wondering if you've considered this.

Hilary's got caught lying multiple times, and her and Bernie can get a little anti-white sometimes.

I think from what I'm seeing on TV that practically speaking it is down to Hillary and Trump. For those who are interested in this discussion what are you going to do about it come November?

At least I know what I'm getting with Clinton, we still don't know for a fact that Trump isn't playing the nations of the world as fools.

For what it's worth, I agree.

BTW, I feel the same way about Cuz but not Kasich.

 

[RRex]

I wouldn't vote for Hillary if you tied my tits in square knots.

Trump says the same things over and over, but I hear no solutions.

Ditto.

But if it's Trump versus Hillary, what would you do? A non-vote for one helps the other, so not voting simply doesn't have the effect of changing this problem. Often we are stuck not so much voting for one we like but voting to make sure someone else doesn't get into office. Actually, there are very few politicians I like.

 

[robocop (actually)]

I think Hillary Clinton is smarter, has more ability, has more experience, and Donald Trump is a mean jerk.
