2016 Election Top 3

[PolitiJunkie]

The previous round saw the elimination of Rand Paul, and there are now three candidates left. Like in the last three rounds, and for the rest of the game, there will now be only ONE candidate eliminated at the end of each round. For the final two rounds, you will have SEVEN days to vote rather than three. The rules are reposted for your convenience below. Enjoy!
_____________________________________________________________________________

The Rules

• This game will allow you to vote for your favorite potential 2016 candidates.
• The Democratic Party and the Republican Party each start out with 24 candidates.
• The Republican slate of candidates comes from the Election of 2016 Wikipedia page, with the 10 candidates deemed least viable by PolitiJunkie removed (34 candidates were listed).
• The Democratic slate of candidates comes from the Election of 2016 Wikipedia page, with 4 candidates deemed most viable by PolitiJunkie added (20 candidates were listed).
• In the first three rounds, candidates will only be competing against members of their own party. In these rounds, the 6 worst performing candidates from each party will be eliminated at the end of each round.
• Once only 6 candidates are left from each party (which will be the case after the third round of eliminations), the remaining candidates will all compete against each other rather than being separated by party.
• For rounds 4-6, two candidates will be eliminated from each round, resulting in 6 remaining candidates at the end of round 6.
• Starting with round 7, and for all remaining rounds, one candidate will be eliminated at the end of each round.
• Each round will last three days, at which point voting will lock and the results will become visible. The following round will begin shortly thereafter.
• You can vote up to X-4 times in each round, with X being the number of candidates on the ballot in that round.
• In the event of a tie for lowest vote-getter, a separate, tiebreaker poll will be created.

This makes it a bit unfair since the 2 Democrats will obviously split the Democratic/liberal vote.




Elizabeth Warren isn't ready to be President.

Warren is hawkish on Iran.

She's a one-issue candidate... and she'd need Congress to get any additional financial reform.

[tmthforu94]

Not really, considering whoever advances will obviously beat Christie. I'm almost tempted to vote for Clinton just to see a Clinton-Warren matchup, as that might produce an interesting result...

Christie

[mattyman]

None of these candidates should be an option.

[Donerail]

Ugh. This is genuinely awful. I guess Warren? Maybe? Clinton's probably around just as bad, and Christie is completely ugh. Maybe should've been Clinton but whatever.

[ElectionsGuy]

Hmmm, I have to go with Christie on this one, even though I don't particularly endorse him.

[Goldwater]

Chrristie.

[Wake Me Up When The Hard Border Ends]

While he's far from my favourite, I'll go with Christie.
