Here is a list of the other candidates... If you are totally pissed at the dems and Repubs and want to try to bet on the real long shot...here you go... Gary Johnson polls at almost 12% now... many of the rest will have to be write ins over most of the country.... but there are people who fit most every degree of lunatic political thought here... from ought to be democrats and republicans to window licking psycopaths... you can find a Bernie clone, a trumpish guy or two, a couple cruzes and a clintonesque person without the establisment backing... enjoy!

1. Starting a thread nobody cares about doesn't mean we hate you...let it go...just let it die. It happens.

2. Look how coach does it, he goes into a popular thread, scurries around like a rat in grain mill, finds a nibble somebody else is talking about, steals it and starts his own thread.

That's how attention ****** work
