As both candidates are unpopular in the public, I sincerely ask: Would you like both candidates to be replaced? The only option in this poll is to get rid of both nominees, including the one you support (except Johnson/Stein-fans; just asking about Hillary and Donny).

Honestly, I voted yes. Though Hillary is the better alternative and I agree with her more on the issues, her e-mail problems and the Foundation controversies are deeply troubling. I'd like to have Biden or Webb on the Democratic side, and Kasich on the GOP side. With either of them, the White House would be in good hands. At least in the hands of somebody, who does not carry the baggage both Hillary and The Donald do.

Yes, of course. Almost anyone would be better than having the willfully ignorant psychopathic clown with a chance of winning.

As many flaws as there are with Hillary, I think she is probably the best candidate to lead us for the next 4 (or Cool years. I guess I'd be fine with replacing Trump, just so I wouldn't feel that if she doesn't win, we will end up in a nuclear holocaust. But he hopefully will give us a landslide (and maybe the House and Senate).

Therefore I voted no.

It's a real dilemma. As much as I want the Dems to nominate someone other than Hillary Clinton, you are taking a huge risk of a Dem loss since a large chance of her winning is better than the risk of having a terrible Pubbie (like Cruz or Rubio) beat an actually good Democrat like Gillibrand or Kaine.

If I get to choose the Republican as either Kasich or Christie and also get a good Democrat on the ticket, I'd say Yes.

There shouldn't ever be a criminal at the top of a major party ticket. So crooked Hillary shouldn't be there. But Donald Trump is a great candidate so I had to vote no. I have no idea what other pathetic pinko the Dems would nominate besides crooked Hillary since the party has nobody to offer. A crazy old communist? Pocahontas? LMAO

If Hillary would step now (voluntarily or not), I believe that Biden would take over (and defeat Trump easily).

That guy's practically senile. I'm surprised Dems are brave enough to even let him near a microphone. He's a total joke.

Maybe replace Trump with LePage so Clinton could win in an even bigger landslide.

Hell, no!

If the GOP nominates a normal person, the Democrats might actually lose the white house.

No to both. I don't believe in invalidating the votes of the primary voters. There are a few states where you can legit argue they have crappy Byzantine systems designed to bamboozle the voters in favor of party insiders. I also say the caucus system is a huge pain that should be reformed/abolished altogether in favor of regular primary ballot voting. For the rest of the country, I don't buy the argument that it's a problem both nominees were selected by about 10-20% of voters, or whatever the figure is. If most GE voters are too lazy/unengaged to participate in the primaries, that's their problem.

Yes, absolutely. I would have enthusiastically backed Jeb or Kasich, and hell if it were Biden v. Trump I'd happily back Biden.

Right now I am in between holding my nose for Hillary, not voting for president at all, or voting for Johnson

No. I've been waiting a long time for Hillary to become President. I think she'll make a very good one.

And no, I don't want them to replace Trump, because he's making Hillary look like a mighty good choice to those who have bought into the "crooked" hype.

No. They both won fair and square, and Hillary is the best Democratic candidate.

Absolutely. Pity Al Franken stayed out and Biden's too old.

Maybe back in the fall when trump was actually somewhat populist he would've been great (certainly better than everyone else besides Kasich anyway), but now that the RNC have had their way with him and he picked Pence, we only have the ugly side left.

Kasich and Rubio would've been completely crumbled because of crappy records to attack.
