It should be telling that Rubio, Cruz, and Bush are down to basically nothing here. Their campaigns are mostly astroturf manufactured by the GOP establishment.

I saw a "Nobody for President" campaign bus in NYC in the 1970's. I thought it was a great idea at the time, and would be happy to have that as an option on the ballot!Simonjester wrote: wavy gravy rockin the "nobody for president" campaign since the 1970s you gotta love a hippy clown activist..

A vote for Rand is a vote for nobody because 5.7% for a guy who's been in the race more or less for 3 years and at one point was tagged as the front runner isn't very impressive.

but it would mean more and be used by a lot more people if "none of the above" was actually on the ballot...

Well, let's see. If a vote for Rand = a vote for nobody, then logically a vote for nobody = a vote for Rand.clacy wrote: A vote for Rand is a vote for nobody because 5.7% for a guy who's been in the race more or less for 3 years and at one point was tagged as the front runner isn't very impressive.
Which means Rand is now in first place.
Thanks for pointing that out!

Stop falling for it, chutzpahheads.
And you can always write in "Nobody" on the ballot ticket to "waste" your useless vote. That's what those lines are for!

I suspect that fewer people watch the debates than we might imagine, and many of the ones who do watch them do so for exactly the same reasons that people watch WWE-style wrestling.
Trump is tapping into something that the rest of the candidates don't seem to understand. I think that Cruz may sort of understand it, but not nearly as well as Trump.
