Didn't read the link that Handy(I think) provided? Trump supporters would go Trump. Hillary supporters would go third party.
 
Re: POTUS 45.08: Suckers

In hindsight? I think the 3rd partyers might have been swayed towards Hillary. The lesser of two evils thing going on.

Seriously, what is wrong with that thought?

I think the Bernie fans, and the true third party folks would go with Hill, even though they might not have liked her. Why is that so shocking of a thought?

You didn't watch the video.

What does that have to do with my statement? I did watch the vid. Obviously the Bernie/3rd party fans didn't want Hill. But going back, if they knew what was going to happen, they'd have voted Hill, and we'd have a different president.

Dude, that was the choice already.

Supposedly a quarter of French voters didn't vote because they hated both candidates. That's what the third parties would have done.

But in hindsight? If we could do it all over again? I would disagree. I think the non-voters would vote, for the most part.

No. No they wouldnt. See: Scott Walker, Wisconsin, 2012, 2014.


Even if you personally drove each one to the voting booth with a time machine to go back six months in time, they're still going to go "meh" and walk away.

Ok. We have a difference of opinion. I won't laugh you down or ridicule you or your opinion, unlike what happened to me. You do bring up a point that is valid.

Then you have more faith in the electorate than I. Because the last year or so has simply reinforced my oft stated opinion that roughly half of Americans have below average intelligence, and average ain't exactly stellar.

Oh, I completely agree with your take on intelligence.

Wrong!

Need to double and triple down on the message! Push even harder on what horrible, awful, stupid, ignorant dumb asses they all are. I swear, any day now they're going to have an epiphany.

Trust me. This is a bullet-proof strategy.

I don't think do. Remember what the Godfather said, "It's business, not personal."

You're making the dissent personal. In doing that, you may feel good, but will ultimately fail.

No. You need to ignore them. Completely. Hillary wasted her time in West Virginia, and Georgia, and was on her way to Arizona when the second Comey letter came out. You're never going to get Trump voters to vote Democrat and you're never going to get Susan Sarandon Democrats to vote for Hillary.

So, let's just stop trying to re-litigate it and live in reality.
