This face-off looks inevitable, so I'm wondering how people here would vote in 2016. Personally, I think I'd vote Bernie even if it meant Hillary losing.

Cthuhlu 2016. Why vote for the lesser of two evils?

In this case, he probably would be the lesser evil if the only other options are Trump and Hillary.

Trump over Hillary.
I think trump can be a big D Bag but I would be happy with any one from the republican party winning.

Both Hillary and Trump are running for purely egotistical reasons. I think Hillary would be better simply because the Democratic party has a better track record for issues I care about, but I don't see why I should pick between bad and worse.

This poll allows vote-changing, if you change your mind you can change your vote here.

Now there's an idea, who wouldn't want Cthulhu to be the face of America in 2016.

Hillary over Trump, but only out of picking the "lesser of two evils". I wouldn't pick any party just because I wanted to see that party in power over the other. I'd rather pick a candidate who would do what the American people need done over a candidate who will only work for their own party's ideals. Yet every candidate left running falls under the latter category, ugh.

Thanks Antdog, you've inspired me to vote for Hillary regardless.

Sanders. If he doesn't win the primary, I'm going back to voting third party.

If Trump wins, all I can do is hope he was bluffing the whole time, but still.... People still believe and agree in the things that he says and that's terrifying. I've been thinking of moving to a different country for years (it's on my bucket list anyways, even if it's just temporary), but I think Trump winning is my sign I should to leave.

Trump is a narcissist and Hillary is a sociopath, in my opinion. I think most politicians only care for themselves so why even bother voting? Hillary honestly scares the crap out of me.

^^ LOL

Given the two, Trump!! I think Hillary is "all-the-way horrible"----whereas Trump is only "partially horrible".

If there was those two, and nobody else, I'd vote for Hillary. Trump doesn't know his butt from his elbow.
