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

I prefer the founding principles philosophy of the Pauls, but

In my strong opinion the qualifier of "principles" does not apply to the younger Paul and that is the primary distinction.

For "mainstream" comparison purposes...

I left out the 'most' in front of people. I'm sure you do, as do some others.

But how many people just vote the ticket or for whoever their spouse or friend says they should for whatever reason.

Look at Palin. She didn't even finish one term as governor but a large number of people thought she was VP material.

No doubt, you are correct. I think Ventura, like him or not, has the solution. Candidates should be listed, names only, without party affiliation. This would force uninformed people to familiarize themselves with candidates and what they stand for, as the majority of people vote strictly along party lines, as you alluded to.

I can't be Jesse, he knows too much of the above top secret stuff.

Let's go back to, Back to the Future and have Jerry Lewis!

I think we’re on a similar wavelength, smurfy.

If it was only possible, I know who I’d vote for. Unfortunately, though, most of them are no longer with us. I believe one of them had his ashes sent into orbit, and I know he’s looking down upon us now laughing his ass off. Anyway, in an ideal world an ideal administration (IMO) would look something like this:

Dr. Timothy Leary, President of the United States
Abbie Hoffman, Vice President of the United States
Phil Spectre, White House Chief of Staff
Jerry Reuben, Chief Financial Adviser
George Carlin, Secretary of State
Marilyn Monroe, Chief Security Adviser
Richard Nixon, Chief Political Consultant and Campaign Adviser
Marilyn Chambers, Executive Entertainment Coordinator and Presidential Personal Assistant
Malcolm X, Chief Adviser on Human Rights and Equality
Dr. Demento, Chief Science Adviser

With an Administration like that, how could we possibly go wrong? Unfortunately, the knuckle draggers we have to choose from today pale in comparison the the elite group of intellectual giants listed above. These days it seems we have to choose between going with either the Planet of the Apes Revisited or maybe with some sexy Dr. Strangelove theme. In any case, we’re screwed...

So far, here's some of the additional stats:

1,434 total votes

1,125 votes from the United States… 59 from Canada, and 59 from UK

Rand Paul has a 20 vote lead from US voters, but way behind "Any random person other than those listed here" from non-US voters.

Ted Cruz dominates as the third choice form the US, Hillary Clinton dominates as the third choice from non-US.

I want Dr Carson because HE was a world LEADER in his field. His politics are a bit off here and there but he feels right to me.
Rand Paul after him.
Apparently they are pushing Cruz and BUSH,the other side has lost their collective MINDS so until THEY learn about the constitutional REPUBLIC then I won't vote for them.

Keep voting for your favorite superhero to come in and swoop the united states/world from despair...

Since the past clearly shows this is likely.

Politics, heavily corrupt? no!!! never!!

for hundreds of years? nooo

a reply to: Blackmarketeer

Warren doesn't want to Audit the Feds which is the biggest bank. So that tells me she is a fraud.

I'll take Jesse Ventura, Gary Johnson or Rand Paul please. I hope Rand is just appealing to the TPTB and he really is more like his father. Better than the rest of the list anyway.

I was sooooo tempted to pick 'some random person not on the list'
but, I was told that would be throwing my vote away,
lol so I voted for Joe, and he's currently at .8% go Joe!

No, seriously, politicians suck!

No. Maybe better… will be posting the idea soon...

As of right now, the winner is

Any random person other than those listed here. 26.57%

Love it.

And really, we all know that nothing substantial will change because the system protects itself regardless of we the people's wishes.

You have no idea how much it depresses me that people think Ted Cruz is a legitimate choice. I realize this website has a certain demographic but just... wow. That's worse than Hillary being as popular as she is.
