None of the options in this poll fit perfectly.  I definitely won't vote for either of the first two, and the last option does not apply since I voted for Sanders.  I'm considering Hedges, Mimi, LaRiva, and a few others.  As of now, over 1600 people have  formally filed for president with the Federal Election Commission, including Deez Nuts, Porcupines R. Spikey, Tronald Dump, Donald Tramp, Sara Paylin, and Seymour Butts.  We won't know who is on the Pennsylvania ballot till after August 1 and I will decide once we know what our choices are.  Of the two candidates you list, Johnson and Stein, I am probably more likely to vote for Johnson so that's how I voted in this poll.

I tend to be fairly pragmatic about supporting candidates who don't meet my ideological litmus tests as long as I am confident in their character.

I think that's my general feeling as well.  In fact, I'd go so far as to say that their political ideologies are secondary to evidence of good judgment and a solid history of ethical behavior.  That said, we should note the second spot on the ticket is a poor place to put your best man, so no matter how nice people like Tim Kaine and Michael Pence come across, they are not running for the office of president, and therefore should not be taken too seriously when you are deciding upon whom to vote for president.
