"Anyone Else" would get my vote if the person is of sound mind, a good communicator and between the ages of 35 and 65 or so. I've had enough of the old dudes that should have been retired a decade or more ago, and I say this as a retired 69 year old. Like others have said, he probably doesn't have the political machine needed get on the ballot anywhere beyond the Lone Star State (aka Texas).
Agree.

Btw, it is very interesting how many people voted in Tuesday, April 2's primaries, who did not vote for Biden OR Trump, even though the other Democrat and Republican candidates have all dropped out. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...n-primary.html

It seems that many people are voting their displeasure rather than their support for either candidate.

Something that I have been saying on CD for a number of years....that no one should be voting for either of the two.

I think most have realized, even before the primaries began, that Trump and Biden would be the candidates, thus getting out to vote didn't make any sense at that point.

I see voting as both a right and a responsibility of a citizen, and if things continue as they are, I think we are looking at losing that right. The reality is either Biden or Trump will be elected, of course, the Dems are still trying to eliminate the competition for Biden, as they did with those others that wanted to run against Biden in the primary.

One can vote a 3rd party protest vote, and not vote at all, but the reality is that the real choices are Trump or Biden. For me, it is an easy choice, Trump for the save!

Those that want someone else, no one else was really stepping up. I suppose the Dems were fearful to go against Biden, as we know how the Dems deal with dissenters, and the Republican field was equally bleak. Dig up some people that are viable, and maybe you'll improve your choices!

What on earth would happen if he won?
On the Democratic Primary ballot on Tuesday, since it was April Fools Day, I wrote in Donald J. Trump. Of the 8 proffered delegates I voted for George Latimer, our County Executive and candidate for House. I wrote in George Washington, John Adams,Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson and James Polk as remaining delegates.

I've been saying it also. We have 2 losers here. Let's use this mess as a catalyst for change from this sad two-party system.
