    Kudos for making the poll public, OP.

    I'm voting for Hillary Clinton and a progressive Supreme Court.

    Well, me and my wife are voting for Hillary (my wife is a long-time republican, and this will be her first time not canceling out my vote). My oldest daughter is also voting for Hillary. And my youngest daughter is casting her first vote... for Hillary. Reckon we are doubling your household vote. :grin:

    Don't feel too bad... my wife's mom and stepdad are extreme rightwingers and will be voting for Trump. They live in California though... go figure.

    Is anyone else finding the humor in D&D's biggest Trump fan not voting for Trump but against Hillary? Even he can't convince himself to vote for Trump...:grin:

    He didn't have the balls to come out for his candidate? Unreal. He is indeed Junior, our teenage Trump cheerleader, who can't bring himself to vote publicly for Donald "What's wrong with my hands??" Trump. With all due respect, of course.

    With the amount of liberals around here, polls like this are pointless if you want real information. They will all be skewed with a liberal bias based on the forum population. There is a lot more value to the polls for politically neutral topics, at least on this site.

    That is true, the people who post here are pretty far to the left but even then, it's not wrong to suggest that few, if any, are voting FOR Trump. Those who are voting for him are doing so as a vote against Hillary. It's also true that there is a large percentage of the population simply voting against Trump.

    This is a "bottom of the barrel" type election with just godawful candidates put forth by both major parties. I'm sure some liberals have fooled themselves into thinking Hillary is worth voting for, but most are just voting against Trump.....or just voting "because partisanship"

    You guys aren't voting FOR Hillary either. You are voting for the candidate with a (D) by their name. You are voting according to tribal loyalty, plain and simple.

    I clearly said I was voting for Hillary and gave the reasons why (most experienced and level headed). I also voted for her in the primary. I would have voted for Hillary over Cruz as well, and most of the republican candidates.

    I would have voted for Hillary over any of the other potential Democratic candidates. My preference would have been to vote for Obama for a third term if an amendment would have been passed to temporarily allow a third term.

    There is not an option available that applies to me.

    When confronted with a choice between two evils, choose neither.

    Don't get worked up about politics and have been cool with Clinton, Bush and Obamas terms in the past.

    If I had to pick someone I preferred over the rest it would have been towards Kasich. I don't really follow policies just seem like he was the most normal person out of everyone.

    Don't really like Hillary but she at least has experience. I refuse to vote for someone who is so an unstable and clearly a nutjob like Trump. I can only imagine him making those stupid faces during the SOTU addresses.

    When actually included in the polls, Johnson has been in the 6-11% range. Source: realclearpolitics.com

    I see, so trump has a lot of support from folks too ashamed to publicly admit it. Understandable.

    I will admit I don't expect trump to put up goose eggs in the national election.

    That's good but as stated in the OP this thread is for those voting for H or T. Note I did not make a choice in this poll.

    He's still waiting for Cruz to make his big move.
