Just curious, have any of you decided to switch your support from one candidate to another this cycle? For instance, I thought I would be likely to vote for Clinton or Biden, but I have recently decided that I plan on casting my ballot for Sanders as I find myself to be more ideologically aligned with him and since his poll numbers have increased. Anyone else have a similar experience, believing you would support a candidate but now find yourself switching support?

I moved from supporting Kasich to back to undecided. I could end up supporting either Kasich, Rubio, Bush or Christie, or maybe even Fiorina (although I am concerned about HP an her doubling down on that PP video and mischaracterizing it). If none of these candidates get nominated, I will support Biden or Clinton.

Clinton -> Sanders (-> Biden)

Started off with the strategic Clinton vote, but since Sanders managed to get good numbers I have since switched since he is more principled than Clinton.

But I will switch to Biden if he announces since he is the closest ideologically and most experienced too.

I guess I've gone from Clinton to undecided. I'm worried about her poll numbers.

I started out as a Walker supporter but switched to Rubio when I found out that Walker sought out and won endorsements from a few private sector unions last year because he promised to focus his attacks on public sector unions only. Then he got re-elected and signed a right-to-work law. I decided I couldn't trust his word. I also don't think the unions are Satan's spawn like some Republicans seem to.

I'd support Paul if I thought he had a chance to win. He's probably ideologically the closest to me. But I'm not about to waste my vote on a candidate who's polling at less than 1% in some polls.

Anyway, I've supported Bernie since 2014 so no.

I feel very estranged from both parties. I really don't have a home. I'm homeless. Sad

I was undecided between TRUMP, Carson and Graham earlier in the summer, but I put my support behind TRUMP after he bravely called out that two-faced coward John McCain.

Then why don't you have a green avatar?

P.S. If you're homeless, you should vote for Bernie Sanders in order to assist in the proletariat's conquest.

This pretty much sums up my views too

Santorum -> Kasich

If Kasich tanks, I'll either go back to Santorum or go for Trump depending on the state of the race.

I have not embraced the secular religion of save the planet. The Greens make next to no effort to engage in a data based cost benefit analysis. It's more of a leap of faith into a priori judgments, as to what humans have a right to do, or not. What I am is a Tory. That is why I think Cameron should run for POTUS. Smiley
