Donald Trump is a first-rate ass clown, but...

Balzé HalzéDonald Trump is a first-rate ass clown, but...
Something I'm curious about, and this is out of the blue, but on my ballot, Hillary and her running mate have their full names listed on the ballot like this:
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON,
TIMOTHY MICHAEL KAINE
Theirs were the only candidates with their full names listed. Consequently, it stood out the most.
Another shipmate of mine from Florida showed me a picture he took of his ballot, and it was listed in exactly the same way with their full names.
Do the candidates submit how they want their names on the ballot? I'm assuming yes, and that this is simply a way to subliminally influence a moronic "undecided" voter when he's standing there looking at his ballot.

Impossible to say what will happen for sure but my guess it that it would have exactly the opposite impact. I think the market would likely react negatively to a Trump victory, at least for a little while.

ridewvInteresting. I would have thought Trump's policies and tax structure would be seen as more favorable for most businesses.

mbinkyWhile Trump policies may help middle America, they will do nothing for the wall street fat cats. They, like big banks, love Hillary. She is one of them.

Except the banking industry has been put to the rack by obama's administration. The regulators and their fines and fees have soured a great many. The reversal of deals, agreements and review policies as punishment for not towing the party line is seen as a herald for the industry.

Isn't it pretty much a given the Fed's will increase rates after the election? Plus with markets at historically high PE ratios, I was thinking the markets should go down.

When he wins, I think the bottom will drop out of the guns and ammo market.

sdyDonald Trump’s campaign is spending $25 million on a media buy ahead of the general election, which is in just seven days.
The Trump campaign is going on offense, targeting a few traditionally blue states as well as key battle ground states, including: Florida, Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, Maine, New Mexico, Ohio, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Nevada, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire.

I don't know to the answer to your question. My Salt lake county mail in ballot had all of the candidates names in identical font and they were all listed in caps.

Thanks, Rush was talking about this but I couldn't find it.

Fly-SigMy Salt Lake County mail in ballot is all in caps.
DONALD J. TRUMP
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
There's one candidate listed with a nickname "ROCKY" ROQUE DEL LA FUENTE
It seems the candidates get to select how their name appears on our ballots.

Balzé HalzéWhen you say "Donald J. Trump," you gotta say it slowly and deliberately like "DONALD...J...
TRUMP!"
Just like in the Michael Moore video. It's the only way I say it out loud now to the guys on the ship.
