youre really pretending dissatisfaction isnt high? are you even attempting to actual analyze the real world?

So the dissatisfied were turning out, in record numbers, to vote for Trump?

If it is, it doesn't seem to matter except to the die hards. Hillary and Trump are running up big numbers.

Also, know who else was boring? Mahatma Gandhi.

Winston Churchill.

So what? There are more Catholics and Protestants in the pew every week than Mormons. There are also tons of atheists who stay at home and watch Dharma and Greg reruns so that tells you something about the masses.

Bro, MG didn't eat for 21 days three different times. Nothing boring about that. Romney should've played up fast Sunday more.

Winston Churchill.

HFN doesn't care. He'd be all like, but Neville Chamberlin is hilarious on 1930's version of Twitter!

Oh, brother. Churchill was boring?

Yet conservative leaders over the weekend continued to profess confidence that they would successfully recruit a candidate. Bill Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard and a prominent conservative critic of Trump, tweeted late Sunday that "there will be an independent candidate -- an impressive one."
Two people floated by Kristol have said they won't run -- Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee, and freshman Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska.
Two sources close to Mitt Romney told CNN he still will not go so far as to to run as an independent. One of the sources said, "No, no, no, no, no. I promise you. No."
Sasse is still a no as well, according to a source close to the senator.

Mitt ain't running. So why are people still whispering about an independent candidate?

So is the argument that only the idiot masses are voting or there is so much dissatisfaction amongst the electorate? I'll agree completely with you on one of those.

Okay. Agree with me on the former because the latter can be objectively established.

polls dont matter, duh

Mitt was and is a meh candidate. His only redeeming quality is that he would be an alternative to trump/clinton. And despite the angst, that is not enough to establish a campaign.

Personally I would have been happy with a meh President the last 7 years and I would take a meh candidate who could win right now.

Bro, do you even know what the word dissatisfaction means?

The trouble with the poll that shows him having 22% is that he was the only listed alternative. That to me doesn't say that he has 22% support, just that 22% of the voters are wanting an alternative. If you polled Kasich vs trump/clinton or even Sanders vs trump/clinton, my guess is that they would get 22%(or higher).
