I voted for Johnson in 2012 but I wasn't impressed with him last time around and why I'll vote for Trump. Not connecting with Jorgensen but maybe I haven't listened to the right interviews.

Biden will win my state by 1.5 million votes. A picture of a donkey would win by 2 million. I'll be voting 3rd party again.

Probably Jo Jorgensen, but I'm not very excited about her honestly. I wanted John Monds to be the nominee for the Libertarians.

The Libertarian Party doesn't seem serious about making advances anyway.

That describes me (except that I would exchange "will" for "might"), but if the Democrats nominate a VP candidate who I strongly dislike, I will vote for Trump if the vote appears to be close in Wisconsin on November 2nd. I am not going to make up my mind before then -- and if the polling shows that either Trump or the Democrat is polling more than 55% in Wisconsin, I might not vote at all, for the first time in my life (and I'm 66).

I never thought I would ever even consider voting for Trump, but that was before the Democrat insanity of the last four years (and if I do end up voting for him, I will hate myself for doing so). If Trump wins again, as I have said many times before, the Democrats will have only themselves to blame.

NY.

If I voted in a competitive state I might feel obligated to vote for the D or R.

This describes my thoughts as well, unfortunately. I despise Trump's lies, narcissism, and just about everything else about him as a person. And I would never admit to anyone in real life that voting for him has entered my mind!!

But good grief, what the left (or at least the far left) has been doing is madness and will lead to something that doesn't even resemble the great nation I thought I was living in.

I have never felt so torn up about an election in my life! All I can do is hope Biden picks a truly stellar VP candidate, so that I can live with myself for voting for him. At this point I don't have much hope.

Voted Johnson in 16, will vote Biden in 2020. Stability and adult government is more important that political alignment.

I agree, he has moved in mostly positive directions with most things though.
Trump lost me ever since 2016 when he said wages are too high. I knew then he had corporate values in mind, not the common working man.
