Poll question: Seriously, would you vote for Stephen Colbert over Hillary Clinton?
If general election came down to Stephen Colbert, Hillary Clinton, and an any Republican, who would you vote for?

1. What if Stephen got elected and he stayed in character?
that would be just as bad as the other choices :)

3. How ridiculous.
Those voting yes are either not serious, or mental midgets imho.

6. it shows a very real and strong discontent, and it is for
valid reasons.

I understand why people are voting this way and I can't say I'd trust Hillary to do the right thing more than Colbert. My only question is, whether or not Colbert would stay in character if he got elected, or even just for the campaign if it got serious. If he stayed in character we'd have a nightmare.

25. I would vote for SC simply because
he seems to "Get it."

HC absolutely does not "Get it."

29. No contest: Colbert.
After his stint at the Washington Correspondents Dinner, he gets my vote.
