1. Been wanting to move to Costa Rica for some time

[KansDem]

6. Save me a seat on the plane...

...or boat.

on edit: Or bus.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

12. We could have a DU meetup at Juan Santamaria Airport.

[daleanime]

2. Where's the 'shoot myself' option?

[Nye Bevan]

5. Or the "never be able to look my European friends in the eye again",

or "hmmm... I have dual nationality, let me check whether my other passport needs renewing".....

[CTyankee]

3. voting for Trump in the hope that he will revert to being a Democrat when he comes out

of his manic phase...

[Nye Bevan]

8. Schwarzenegger and Jessie Ventura might be parallels....

nowhere near as bad as they might have been.

[hifiguy]

4. Trump. And it's an easy choice.

He's an obnoxious blowhard but who knows if he actually believes a word he says? He's an asshole to be sure but what he isn't is a fanatic. Cruz has the slimy sheen of the true-believing lunatic. Trump would never torch the planet to bring Jebus back. Cruz would in a nanosecond.

[2naSalit]

7. Excellent point. nt

[yuiyoshida]

9. Not voting for either

My third option.

[Nye Bevan]

10. I think that statement applies to 100% of good-faith DUers.

This is more of a highly hypothetical thought experiment. Sorry if I did not make that clear enough.

[yuiyoshida]

17. not even hypothetically

would i vote for either!

[SoLeftIAmRight]

11. Trump might scrap all the trade deals

god does not whisper in his ear

and in a couple of thousand years - the great wall of trump will be a great tourist attraction

[Aerows]

13. If I had to make a choice

Trump is blustery, scheming and shrewd, but I don't think he is evil, just a horse's ass (sorry horse asses everywhere).

Cruz, however, is pure evil. He's a McCarthy type that would most likely harass and witch hunt every Democratic voter and office holder in the country. After seeing that "Voting Violation" mailing, it is clear that there is no low that he will not sink to. He'd run the government straight off of a cliff if his past actions are any indication of how much he hates Democracy.

[a kennedy]

14. I didn't see the option of moving to Canada....... eom

[FLPanhandle]

15. So proud to see zero Cruz votes here.

That man is just evil.

[milestogo]

16. Where is the "leave the country" option?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. Yeah, looks like I'm in the extreme minority.

I'll preface with the fact that this is strictly a choice of two horrible, horrible outcomes.

I see Ted Cruz as Bush Cheney Part 2. We barely survived that....but we survived.

I see Donald Trump as (name your fascist dictator) Part 2. I have no idea whether we will survive that....and I don't want to.

I see Ted Cruz as being such a turn off to both his own party and ours that he'll be rather ineffective in getting any of his ideology into law. He's a paper tiger. Remember the shutdown? He wanted to be considered a national hero, and America just shrugged and wanted its national parks back.

Donald Trump is a raging narcissistic ego maniac who is stirring up hatred with his words. Ideological or not, that just scares the ever living shit out of me.

But if you want an honest response, I'd be consider voting for Prime Minister Trudeau's party while drinking my Molson's at Tim Horton's before I ever would desire to live in a country run by either of those horrible human beings.

[eppur_se_muova]

19. Of course I would choose emigration. nt

[BillZBubb]

20. Trump. Cruz is pure evil.

[Matrosov]

21. Cruz, because he would get nothing done

Cruz has only one friend, and that's himself. Nobody who has ever worked with him has ever had something nice to say about him.

I could see where Republicans in Congress might not be very supportive at all of a President Cruz.

[Yo_Mama]

22. I answered this poll, but there will be another choice. I'm a little confused as to why this poll?

Not that you have to answer. Not that this is criticism.

[name not needed]

23. Trump. At least we'll have hookers and blackjack.
