What a circus!

Trump-a-loons vacillating between the "ghost votes", unknown to pollsters, but expected to materialize and launch Donald into the POTUS (with a solid mandate), and polling like Captain Nemo in 20,000 Leagues under the Sea...  and of course the big name Radio Talk shows trying to steady the Tiller of the Trump Cutter (Sailing Ship), he's tacking right and left into the headwinds of this election, nobody knows if he's gaining or losing!

Who's FAULT is it if Trump WINS....?... and completely turns America into a Liberal Utopia, everyone is equally miserable, broke, without God and wondering if America is on the door step of hell?

Where is the "stability" in the Trump campaign?  One thing Hillary might be right about, the lack of a steady hand - is anyone keeping track of the Trump positions?   We're ready to hear in John Kerry speak, "I was for the wall, before I was against it!"  Whew! 

So, desperate to salvage the sinking Trump Titanic, we actually have National Talk Show Hosts trying to "coach" Donald Trump over the air and spin his liberal nonsense into common sense.  Are they all competing for the WH spokesman position?   The next "Josh Earnest" had a 12-3pm time slot...?  "Mr. Trump really meant to say he's modifying the "structure" of the Mexican wall, he's proposing a wall of "flubber"... Illegals would bounce right off it, back into Mexico!"

Gary Johnson is trying to assume the mantle of the biggest of the Big Government - completely leaving his legacy of fiscal conservatism behind in New Mexico, for the more "main stream liberal" positions.

So, what gives?  We got the worst of the worst candidates - or do we?

Not Ted Cruz!  While all the smoke generators are pumping out huge noxious plumes of campaign rhetoric, Ted's hard at work, trying to keep America from going Trump Bankrupt, by blocking Obama's attempt to give away every last nickel to the Illegal Aliens.   Hard at work, while the rest of them are trying to figure out how to steal our wallets, again.

Well, neither Trump nor Hillary nor Johnson is currently in office!

True!

But none of them is even HINTING of taking Ted Cruz's position.
More than ever, with political pandering and posturing - devoid of common sense, only one candidate still makes perfect sense.  Ted Cruz.

Speaking of "Lurch". Has Obama put him in purgatory or is he taking the summer off wind surfing?

Makes you wonder just how far gone Congress is when you look back at all those so called conservatives that sat on their hands while the Establishment attacked his principles as outdated, his ideas as extreme and his views as closeted racist.
They all sat quiet, because it wasn't they who were being attacked, and so afraid for their own careers, they threw ted under the bus.
No, they didn't do it outright, but they did nothing to stop the leftist Establishment GOP as they drug Ted under it's wheels.

We'll remember you at election time.

Cracks me up when I hear trumpsters telling me we all need to come together now to keep hillery out of the white house, I just tell them hillery won the white house the day their man trump got 1237 delegates, and they don't get it.

It boggles my mind when a tiny minority of voters tell the majority they're to blame for a NY Lib losing to another NY Lib.

The fact of the matter is, they helped put Hillary into the White House by voting for Donald Trump.

But, as stubborn as the average low-information-voter is likely to be, they'll still be blaming TEA Conservatives for Donald's landslide defeat.  While they could pull-the-lever for Ted Cruz, they might not get the spelling correct, T-E-D C-R-U-Z.

Writing in Ted Cruz is the perfect way to right-a-wrong, and given enough sane people, we can save this country.

Trump is so far behind Hillary in the pols, if these "ghost voters" don't turn out in November... well it sucks, doesn't it.   So much energy invested in a candidate with such high negatives, yes, it'd be a miracle if he ever made it.  If I were a Trump-a-loon, I'd be either depressed, or kinda mad at myself for getting bamboozled by a slick talking New Yorker.  Build a wall & have Mexico pay for it, yeah, in your dreams!  Stop funding Abortion - Geeeeze!  That's a classic... like Bill Clinton's 'make abortion rare and safe'.

If I were a Trump-a-loon, I'd be getting a little pissed too!  Donald backpeddling on a promise-a-week, what kind of campaign is that!?   His own supporters are trying to tell him to shut up!   Not too long ago, Rush mocked Hillary, suggesting they were afraid her pol numbers would plummet whenever she spoke.   Now we got Talk Show Hosts begging Donald to shut up, it's making them look like brain-dead lemmings.  They're getting tired of the Josh Ernest routine, defending Donald.

So much political energy invested in this Democratic Plant, well, that was wasted, but there is still one more vote, and nobody said you can't vote your conscience & Ted Cruz.   

Lots of smoke & mirrors in both Hillary and Donald's campaigns, aren't you GLAD we all found out Donald was a Liberal Democrat BEFORE the election?  Like I said, Ted Cruz is the perfect way to right-a-wrong, write him in and live with a clear conscience.  I'm not going to "rub-it-in", you got snookered by a New York Liberal, it can happen, it can happen... But, if you STILL insist on going against your Conscience & voting for Donald Trump - you personally become responsible for his reckless spending, growing government & the next war he's sure to bring.

On-the-other-hand....  we can send a strong message to the GOPe, we want smaller government, lower taxes, fewer government regulations, and responsible leadership - vote Ted Cruz.

Ya just can't fix stoopid.
With all the evidence that Trump is a con artist, uses the court system to steal widowed old lady's homes, uses the court system to kill all dissenting voices, stated quite clearly he didn't need the Conservative vote to win, Listed as a perpetrator in a pedophile rape case, and the list goes on for days.
I keep asking these Trumpanzees to give me one reason other than fear of Hillary as to why they'll be voting for Trump.

doing some research on write in candidates in missouri...this is part of what I found

Write-In Candidates

A "write-in candidate" is a person:

whose name is not printed on the ballot (see 115.453(4,5,6) RSMo); and
who has filed a declaration of intent pdf image to be a write-in candidate for election to office with the proper election authority prior to 5:00 p.m. on the second Friday immediately preceding the election day. It is not necessary to file a declaration of intent if there are no candidates on the ballot for that office. (see115.453 (4) RSMo)
Frequently asked questions on write-in candidates

Can a write-in candidate be on a primary election ballot?

No. (Section 115.453 (5) RSMo)

If a candidate runs in a primary election and loses, can the person run in the general election for the same office?

No.  If a candidate files for nomination to an office and is not nominated at a primary election, that candidate cannot file a declaration of intent to be a write-in candidate for the same office at the general election. (Section 115.453(4) RSMo)

Are write-in candidates posted at the polling place?

No. The election authority shall furnish a list to the election judges and counting teams prior to Election Day of all write-in candidates who have filed a declaration of intent. (Section 115.453(4) RSMo)

Are write-in votes counted for every name that is written in?

No. If a candidate is on the ballot for an office, write-in votes are counted only for the candidates who have filed a declaration of intent to be a write-in candidate with the proper election authority.  (Section 115.453(4), first sentence) If no candidate is on the ballot for an office, it is not required to file a declaration of intent and votes are counted for every name properly written in. (Section 115.453(4) RSMo, last sentence)

What if the voter casts a vote for a candidate on the ballot and properly writes in the name of someone for the same office?

In this case, no candidate for the office shall be counted as this is considered an over vote.  If cross (X) marks appear next to the names of more candidates for an office than are entitled to fill the office, no candidate for the office shall be counted as voted for. (Section 115.453.2)

Can a person file as a write-in candidate for United States President?

Yes.  When submitted to the election authority, each declaration of intent to be a write-in candidate for the office of United States president shall include the name of a candidate for vice president and the name of nominees for presidential elector equal to the number to which the state is entitled. At least one qualified resident of each congressional district shall be nominated as presidential elector. Each such declaration of intent to be a write-in candidate shall be accompanied by a declaration of candidacy for each presidential elector in substantially the form set forth in subsection 3 of section 115.399 RSMo . Each declaration of candidacy for the office of presidential elector shall be subscribed and sworn to by the candidate before the election official receiving the declaration of intent to be a write-in, notary public or other officer authorized by law to administer oaths. (Section 115.453 (6) RSMo)
