percentage for some third party dude

I think Clinton can bring the African Americans to the polls, and Trump can bring the Lations to the polls (for Hillary)

Responses:

I hope that's the case. I think there are a number of "I just can't" people with respect to Hillary too. -- (edited) - pmb Feb 29, 09:04 16
- There are, but I think many of them are "I just can't" for Trump too. -- nm - Roger More Feb 29, 09:09
- I'm thinking on the other side its "all hands on deck even if we don't really like her". The Duke thing just reinforces that. -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 09:08 10
  - I think it really needs to be. But people still have a tendency to not take him seriously. The republican party just woke up to the real and present - pmb Feb 29, 09:12 1
    - you're right, don't be overconfident -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 09:23
  - I thing about the David Duke endorsement that gets me - Reagen Feb 29, 09:10 7
    - I was gobsmacked by that Economist poll that showed 20% of self-identified Trumpites didn't like the Emancipation Proclaimation - crash davis Feb 29, 09:16 5
      - Did you see the rest of the poll numbers? 10% of Sanders supporters answered the same way. -- (link) - spamlet Feb 29, 09:29 2
        
        I'm going to guess it was "executive order" that garnered most of those results (for Trump and Sanders). Some people just - TWuG Feb 29, 09:31 1
        
        It could have been. I'm pointing out just the general craziness of the poll. - spamlet Feb 29, 09:34
      - there should have been a market solution, crash. -- nm - Reagen Feb 29, 09:26 1
        
        too. damn. funny. -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 09:28
    - Absolutely. He doesn't want to condemn them because they're his base and he knows it. The problem is Duke blew his cover. -- nm* - pmb Feb 29, 09:13
- Norm Coleman or somebody like him in MN already announced that he is voting third party if this plays out the way it looks -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 09:06 3
  - But will they really? Or is that just bluster to try to derail Trump? -- nm - ty97 Feb 29, 09:08 2
    - It will be interesting. It could really be a complete fracture of the party. The NBC News site had an article about that today. - pmb Feb 29, 09:15
    - given that he has taken at least two positions on every issue, some more liberal than Hillary, I think a lot really will -- nm - crash davis Feb 29, 09:09
