ATS POLL: Who do you want as the next President of the United States

As we approach what is certain to be the most politically contentious campaign season anyone has ever seen, it's time to get the thoughts of ATS members and visitors on the long list of potential names that have been floating around these past few weeks.

Below is a poll that contains all the known Republican and Democrat politicians current considered among those who have at least indicated exploratory committees. As well as what known third party candidates I could find.

So, if someone tied your hands to a voting booth and said you must pick one of these before your hands are untied, who would you pick?

and the winner is Goldman Sachs

Why isn't chuck norris on that list?
That would be my vote.

Ron Paul 2016!!!

He is just like 80

Out of all those terrible names listed, I can understand why "Any random person other than those listed here." is currently ahead. However, out of all the names listed I would choose Rand Paul so that's what I clicked. Yes I have bias because of his father. No he's not his father and I don't really approve of his status quo foreign policy. With that said, the FED needs to be exposed and he's the only candidate that would work to achieve this. The FED is the biggest internal issue needed to be dealt with, IMO of course.

Good point, he could cut spending by dismissing the Secret Service (he doesn't need them).

That's the longest list of candidates you Americans will see until 2019.

Best of luck with whoever you choose.

Thanks for this poll, will be interesting to see who ATS picks.

If someone were to legally change their name to None Of The Above and get on the ballot I think they would have a good chance of winning.


Brewsters Millions was a great movie.

Bernie freaking Sanders. Outside of Warren, the only one standing up to the big banks.

You left an option off: too early to tell.

Ditto.

Can we get a vote choice, for someone "who is qualified for the job?" The last 8 years have proven to me we need qualified candidates not just lawyers. If I had to vote I would vote for a governor I suppose.. It is all a farce but I think Jeb Bush, did well in FLA, but damn another bush in my lifetime? That is how you know this system is all screwed up, it is either bush or Clinton thru-out my existence as a President LOL...

Broken system anyone?

Not to mention both Families now are filthy rich...

If I we lived in a free Political society why not vote for the candidate most qualified? The house and senate, all those members need to go, and start everything fresh. At my age and watching our American Political system function in modern day, it does not matter who get's elected, especially when the people funding these politicians are the ones running the country, and this government is working for them, they come first, then we do..

Meh sorry about the rant, I vote for the qualified candidate if it was a option.. Personally..

Wow your options are worse than ours!

Jesse Ventura said he might run...

So I said not listed!

How about competency test backed by random lottery?

Hey, you forgot Jesse Ventura.
