I thought it would be fun to poll IRON in regards to the US Presidential Election. Even if you are not from the US, vote for whichever candidate that most appeals to you. And please leave a comment as to why you chose that specific candidate.

 

This poll will run until November 7th, the day before the US Presidential Election.

Would have been better if he first explained the "I could do this ..." instead of doing it directly imo

 

Also, he has a small tongue, clearly not fit for USA President >_>

 

 

OMG...someone trying to be funny!  Let's not actually report or show the long in depth conversation the two had that she even said they had and decide only to show a gaff.  Common media, and Johnson was stupid to do something knowing how the media works, especially when he's taking votes from the other two.  Not his brightest moment, but hey, still 100% better then Trump or Clinton so I can live with it.  

Don't get me wrong Rhiz! I like Gary Johnson. He was a very successful Republican Governor for New Mexico... but he can't beat Hillary Clinton, and that is more important than anything else. He's an unabashed stoner that is greatly invested in the marijuana cash crop. I'm all for creating jobs and making money... but I don't want the President munching edibles in the Oval Office. He's done a couple interviews that leave you guessing if he's stoned, or he just knows he has no chance.

 

As a Libertarian, he should have been prepared for the gotcha questions. When he was asked about Aleppo, he should have known that they are just trying to catch him not knowing something... he's taking more votes from Hillary Clinton than Trump, so they want him out. They didn't ask him about what he would do about the Syrian refugee crisis... they asked him about Aleppo. If he didn't know what Aleppo was, he should have simply said "I'm the Libertarian candidate... why should we be concerned about Aleppo?". That would toss the ball back to the guy and force more information... but hindsight is 20-20.

 

Your vote for Johnson is a protest vote. I respect that, but in my opinion there is too much at stake. Time to get real. Donald Trump is the only candidate that can beat Hillary Clinton, break up the Washington DC mafia, and bring about change in favor of the USA. All these open border global citizens need to be made extinct. They are chipping away at our way of life. The Constitution, and our Supreme Court, depend on us.

Oh, you wont find me disagreeing that he should expect and be prepared for media people to look to trip them up.  The Aleppo question was them looking to trip him up, and it worked.  His sticking out his tongue was his own doing, and he should know better then to do something like that, that a media outlet would look to highlight and take away from the actual rest of the interview that probably went smoothly (of course they don't show that).  He's a quirky kind of guy, not denying that, so anything a media outlet can do to highlight that and turn it into something negative, they're going to do.  As you said, he's taking more democratic votes away then Hillary, and the more either side really can mark him as unfit they're are going to.

I trust he isn't actually stoned, he said he's gave it up during his run for the Presidency, but there's no doubt he's a little "quirky."  Is it because he's stoned...I don't know for certain, I like to believe he's stayed true to his word, but not knowing the guy on a personal level, I can't know.

I'll be interested to see how the debate goes tonight.  Trump has been gaining in the polls lately.  He has the opportunity to gain on that, or a bad showing can turn those numbers in the other direction.  I am DVR'ing it, I need to get to bed early tonight, but I imagine my FB feed will be filled with people's opinions by tomorrow.  I just hope for the sake of everyone that issues get talked about.  

Well its November 7th, and as promised I am closing the poll.

 

The end results are:

 

Democrat Party: Hillary Rodham Clinton 9 votes [36.00%]

Republican Party: Donald John Trump 7 votes [28.00%]

Green Party: Jill Ellen Stein 4 votes [16.00%]

Libertarian Party: Gary Earl Johnson 4 votes [16.00%]

Constitution Party: Darrell Lane Castle 1 vote [4.00%]

 

It was interesting to see how many voted for 3rd party candidates. I honestly expected the results to be 40-40 Democrat and Republican, with only 10% going 3rd party. Another interesting thing is if you only count the 9 Democrat and 7 Republican votes, we end up with 56% Democrat and 44% Republican.

 

I am very much looking forward to seeing how this poll correlates to tomorrow's election. Thank you for participating everyone!
