Another MSNPoll with Interesting Results

Will you consider voting for a third-party candidate for president?

23%
Yes, absolutely

22%
Maybe, need to check candidates

55%
No, I’ll go either Dem or GOP

Total responses: 157,141 votes


(23+22) = 45 and if the other 55 split evenly between D and R .... like what 27 and 28

I mean :math:

How would it all add up ... break down ... majority .... electoral votes ...

Neither are acceptable candidates for President to a large chunk of the population.

Hillary/Cuomo

I think Trump/Rubio would beat HRC/Cuomo ...yep, I can see that happening.

Also, I want to keep Warren where she is.

Sanders is going to need to choose wisely geographically and politically .... his selection is crucial.

Just someone whose name gets mentioned...

Of course if Hillary wanted to run from one of her other half a dozen "home states" she'd still be able to win NYC with Cuomo.
