It's Pro war or anti war. Choose.

6. Here's what I tell my parents |
|
My parents by the way HATE hilary. They even had that joke toilet paper back in the day with her face on it. Even though of course that they're politically right square where she is. Madness...
Anyway, I'm not a fan of Hilary. Never really have been. I don't like her style, and I'm not talking about fashion. I'm talking her heavy handed political style, which has been brushed under the table of late. Old dogs though...
Still in the general, if she's the candidate, I'll donate money, and put a lawn sign up, and vote for her. As the Economist magazine put it, "Americans want a tough President, not a psychopath".
Voting for ANY of those guys would be like Christopher Walken's character voting for Martin Sheen's character in the Dead Zone movie. To say that Clinton is no different, or wouldn't be any better, or would be even worse than one or aany of them is madness.
I may not like Hilary but she'd do a damn sight better job than ANY candidate with an R next to their name.

I think that is a logical position you have there.

13. I think you have to be pragmatic when voting for President |
|
If not, then it's just a popularity contest and you end up voting in psychopaths who want to destroy our country just because you promise to fund ethanol and seem fun to have a beer with.

10. You need to add another choice to the poll |
|
Perhaps add "If Hillary Clinton is the nominee, the Republicans will win anyway as well as use her negative coat tails to gain seats in the House and Senate."
I'd vote for that choice.

11. I'd prefer being beaten to getting killed. Doesn't mean I want either one. |

14. If Hillary doesn't win the nomination, another Dem will |
|
And at this point, at least, just about ANY Dem could beat the Repub frontrunner!

17. it isn't a false dichotomy |
|
It's a hypothetical choice.
Of course, it could also be a push poll ... ;)
