In what has become a presidential race based almost solely on scorn for the candidates, the establishment,
fraud at the polls — and, hell, the entirely stale and wholly
rigged electoral process — it's clear no one will win in the traditional meaning of the word.
While third party candidates have experienced growing
success in the dearth of acceptable duopoly offerings, a dark horse has emerged.
According to Public Policy Polling, 'Giant Meteor for President' now
ranks as a serious contender — garnering "far more support than the third party candidates actually on the ballot."
No, this most certainly is not the Onion.
"[W]e find that the Meteor would poll at 13% ... with Clinton at 43% and Trump at 38%," with the Libertarian Party's Gary Johnson the favorite among just 5 percent and Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein winning just 2 percent of votes.
Yes, seriously.
In fact, the PPP notes,
"The Meteor is particularly appealing to independent voters, functionally in a three way tie at 27% to 35% for Clinton and 31% for Trump."
Comment: This is the same nuclear site that was supposed to be completed as part of an agreement with Russia on converting weapons-grade plutonium into nuclear reactor fuel. Russia isn't pleased the US is not holding it's part of the deal.
