Which characters would have voted for Trump?


And which would have voted for Clinton, and the other candidates?

I see it:

Colonel Flagg: Trump
Frank Burns: Trump.
Margaret Houlihan: Trump
Hawkeye: Clinton
Trapper: Clinton
Radar: Gary Johnson (I don't know -- he just gives off that libertarian vibe).
Klinger: Gary Johnson
BJ. Hunnicutt: Clinton
Potter: That's a tough one, but I can't see him voting Trump.
Rizzo: Trump.
Father Mulcahy: I imagine him sitting the election out.

reply

Radar: Gary Johnson (I don't know -- he just gives off that libertarian vibe).

Libertarians are pro 2nd amendment.
Radar seems more like the Green Party type.

Let me know if I'm on your ignore list.
Thanx!

Colonel Flagg: Trump
Frank Burns: Trump.
Margaret Houlihan: Trump
Hawkeye: abstained*
Trapper: abstained*
Radar: Gary Johnson
Klinger: Gary Johnson
BJ. Hunnicutt: abstained* or Trump
Potter: abstained* or Trump
Rizzo: Trump.
Father Mulcahy: abstained. Priests didn't involve themselves in politics until the '60s

*They were too intelligent to drink the koolaid of either Trump or Clinton. Hawkeye and Trapper would have voted for Adlai Stevenson III, a liberal intellectual (as would have Col. Blake obviously(McLean's cousin)) and Potter would have voted for Eisenhower.

reply

Trapper-Clinton
Radar-If forced to vote Gary Johnson or Trump

Houlihan-Trump (But could vote on Clinton as well)
Klinger-Trump
Rizzo-Trump
Flagg-Trump

This is hilarious. Winchester, Burns and maybe Hot Lips would vote DT. I only say maybe for Houlihan cuz she might like a woman in the Big Seat. The rest would be Dems, at least for the TV show. There are a lot of other characters but of the main ones, that's how I see it. Blake and Potter were compassionate people, Klinger can smell a rat, and not as well as Radar. Same with Mulcahy. Just like the majority of Americans, but the Electoral College hopefully has had it's last gasp.

I'm not a woman much less Deanna Durbin, but the old-time glam-shot appeals to me.

The Electoral College stands in between order and bedlam as it prevents mob rule. With the EC gone it would come down to herding the populations of the ten largest cities in order to decide the election. That aside two of the biggest money grubbing a-holes in the local community where I live are Democrats. So much for the idea that crooks and turds are all Republicans.

reply

Funny - France isn't under mob rule.

Sounds like yet another sulky Leftard who can't handle that their corrupt Clinton woman lost. If the EC had of supported Clinton you would be singing their praises right now.

Exactly. "Left"-wing people don't automatically deploy comments like Rightard. So if you want to bully me with your obnoxious, bigoted, ill-informed comments, please don't bother. I could listen to hateful am radio garbage if I want to be wantonly insulted by idiots. When you have a thoughtful comment feel free to share. But if you are going to be knee-jerk hateful, don't expect me to go along.
I hope you are swapping guns with your neighbors in solidarity.

No, they say far worse, "Deplorable" for example, calling people racist, sexist, and whatever else they can think of. Making it illegal to speak freely, oh and of course the inevitable "Bigot" which applies to the Left more than anyone else.

Oh,go and cry, you lost! And rather than examine the reason your side lost you will just keep spreading hate and cliches and your usual excuses.

Typical Reublican response. You foment all kinds of hate and then when a reasonable person comes up with a response, you pounce on it like it;s your own idea, and twist against your enemy. No constructive ideas, just vitriol.
God I am so sick of butting head with Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh CKs. They just want to inflame the conversation and then mock those who object.
Enjoy your mockery of our Presidency. I though W was bad but this is worse.



reply

Newsflash - I'm not American so I have no idea what you are on about. I guess you are so wrapped up in your hatefest that you just go on the assault.

Haven't heard a single constructive idea from you at all. I won't be mocking your presidency soon I promise. As soon as that useless Muslim is out of office the USA will be improving quickly.

P.S - YOU LOST!

reply

Useless Muslim? Obviously you aren't an American. Only the demented small % thinks Barack and Michelle are muslim. Just stop. You are giving me a headache.

reply

Only the demented would think that he isn't. It would certainly explain his love for them.

Can anyone say "Israel"? I think Barrack Davis has pretty much proved that he's a muzzle'm if not worse.

reply

Yes and France lost to the Nazis and Emmett Till lost to the KKK. If that's who you want to align yourself with, I pray for your parents. If they are so hateful as you, no wonder you're they way you are.

reply

All the hate is coming from you.

If you say so, boss. "You lose." That was a friendly personal attack. I hate Republicans but I don't hate you. So just shut up and move on to someone other poor soul.
me.

reply

B,b,but you're so easy to upset! I don't even have to try, all of this started because you wrote " but the Electoral College hopefully has had it's last gasp."

And I pointed out to you that if the EC had of voted to your liking you would have been singing their praises. I think it is fair to say that you are upset because you know you have been defeated by truth and logic.

reply

By the way try "had supported" rather than "had of supported." Then insert a bunch of ums and expletives to support how intelligent your comments are.

reply

Perhaps if my Leftard teachers had of taught of us rather than spread Left Wing propaganda I might have known that.

Henry Blake would probably vote for Clinton. I think he would be a Democrat like McLean Stevenson.

Charles is a staunch Republican, but I can see him thinking Trump is a cretin.

reply

[deleted]

Hunnicut was a guy who believed a woman's place was in the home and I don't see any way in the world he would vote for Clinton.

reply

Potter would have voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020, because in both cases the alternative was too ridiculous to contemplate. Or, he might have sat out both elections.

reply

I'd have voted for minor independents both times. There's gotta be something better than this!

reply

In 1952 -
Ike - Potter Burns Winchester Hotlips
Stevenson- Hawkeye Trapper Henry probably BJ Klinger
Radar Either if voted at all
