First, let me show you why we are asking this question to all of you this morning. Here is cnns google searches for writein are off the charts. Google trends data indicates that the online searches for writein surged by 2800 hitting a record high since 2004. The states with the highest rates of search are not battlegrounds. But republican and democratic strongholds. In the state of arizona, senator john mccain is up for reelection. We have been covering many debates on cspan for senate and house candidates. In a recent senate debate, here is what senator mccain said what he will do on november 8. Senator mccain it takes a big man to know when he is wrong. And to admit it. Mike pence and have the humility to apologized and donald trump last night show that he is a big man. Host that obviously was mike pence. I will show you what senator mccain had to say, but first for all of you out there, let me say again, if youre planning to write in a candidate on election day, tell us who that is going to be. No to the lines come republicans democrats and independents. Tell us who you plan to write in. Here is senator john mccain in his election day strategy. Senator mccain when a person legitimately wins the nomination of the party then obviously it deserves that support. I have expressed my disagreements. I expressed my disagreements with Ronald Reagan when he sent the marines to beirut and tragically they were killed. I said to george w. Bush had to fire his secretary of state when we were losing the war in iraq. When i was running, i said i would rather lose a campaign than lose a war. There is no doubt about my criticism when i see that there is something that is wrong. Who are you going to vote for . Senator mccain i might write in Lindsey Graham to her he is an old friend of my. Seriously, i cannot vote for either one. Host that was senator john mccain in a recent debate. What he will do on november 8, writing in a name. He is not the only one. Senator kelly ayotte as well saying that she withdrew her support recently for donald trump. She says shell write in his running mate, indiana governor mike pence. Nbc says say kelly ayotte and rob portman and cory gardner all have said they plan to write in the name of trumps running mate. John mccain say he might write in his fellow senator Lindsey Graham. Talking about writing someone in maysan like a convenient option for republican politicians who find themselves caught between swing voters and their base thanks to trumps misogyny but in many states, those votes will count. Different states have different rules for writein candidates but they can be divided into three categories. Nine states arkansas, hawaii, louisiana, mississippi, nevada new mexico, oklahoma, south carolina, south dakota will accept any writings at all. Wont accept any writeins at all. Europe very early.

What name will you write in . Caller Pat Robertson, not necessarily john mccain. Host why . Caller because Pat Robertson shows enough fortitude as a preacher to mention the word politics on tv and actually discuss it civilly for the moral authority, Pat Robertson. For pure american politics, john mccain because he knows what it is like to be on the front lines of a theater war. Vietnam war. It is the gateway to healing this nation once and for all. Host roger in overguard arizona. An independent caller. Good morning to you. Caller good morning. Host you have got to turn down that television. Tell me, who ar going to writee you in . Caller Bernie Sanders. Host why . Caller mainly due to the fact that as a lifelong democrat i witnessed the Democratic Party steal the nomination from Bernie Sanders, even though bernie was sweet talked into backing hillary, i still am a Bernie Sanders supporter and i will be for probably the last election of my life because i am 72 years of age. Host roger how will you vote in that senate race . Caller the senate race. Um, i like john mccain but im a lifelong democrat. So iw will probably vote a democrat.

Republicans at 20275488001. Democrats 2027488000. Independent 2027488002. Let me share this story in the Washington Times. Donald trump at risk of losing gop stronghold as mormon voters look to one of their own on the ballot. The usual cohesion of voters in the conservative republican stronghold of utah has been blown up by Donald Trumps volatility and crudeness bringing uncertainty in a must win state for the gop nominee host lets hear from doug in pennsylvania. A republican. Good morning. Who do you plan to write in . Caller im going to write and evan the golanmcmullin. I was going to support donald trump but because of my conservative views, donald trump has really turned me off. And just especially with what has come out easily. I cannot support him. Host what do you like about evan mcmullin. We are showing our viewers him right now. Caller i think he represents where i stand in terms of social issues and from the background that i have done on him, i really respect him. I know he is a longshot to win but i have got to vote my conscience. And he fits that bill. Host what does that mean that Hillary Clinton could be the next president . Caller that really bothers me, because she certainly does not represent where i feel strongly about. But then i cant support donald trump, either. I guess i ahhave to let the chips fall where they will. Host in california, independent. We have some early risers. Thanks for calling in. What do you plan to do . Caller i have nothing else to do but watch you. You know i thinking i was thinking it is a good question. I would put paul ryan as an independent. Host you will write in paul ryan, the speaker of the house . Caller since he does not represent republicans, then he must represent somebody else. You know, because in this dirty, you know, personal interest politics that we are living, really nasty think that you have you believe on principles in the party. Then you give your money. They represent themselves or they represent somebody else or something else. So, paul ryan should be an independent. Host jim in quincy, massachusetts, democrat. Good morning. Caller how you doing this morning . Guest Bernie Sanders. The corruption that is being shown through wikileaks, they are talking about might have murdered. This is getting a little deep. Host have you gone to the wikileaks website . Caller i have been on it for three days. Im sure they have not even host what about that Bernie Sanders, your guy has said my policies and Hillary Clintons are more in line, and he asked you to vote for Hillary Clinton . Caller the email thing, his wifes life was threatened. I dont doubt that [inaudible] host it doesnt matter then . Caller huh . No no. I think hes being coerced and threatened to support her. Look at how many people have been killed by the clinton crime network. Host what evidence do you have of that . Caller evidence. Have you looked at the emails yet . Host jim why do think it is important to do so . Tell our viewers. Caller why look at the emails . It shows the innerworkings of what these people were saying to you. Justice scalia was murdered. Host clinton now says speaker email system was never clear. Hillary clinton admitted she does not recall asking anyone for permission to use the secret server and email account during her state in the state department. Mrs. Clinton said she did not recall seeing a 2011 warning about increased hacking atte mpts, and she did not write another warning sent under attorney. Secretary Clinton States she does not recall being advised, cautioned or worn during her tenure about hacking of her clintonemail. Com account. Host usa today hack shows hy clinton cap wall street speeches kept wall street speeches a secret. They write this. Assuming the wikileaks emails are accurate, clintons support is more prone of of free trade that she has been during her drive for the presidency. She now opposes the tpp and has few good things to say about free trade. She she also proclaims her sustain for income inequality and vows to reignn in wall street. Clinton couldve inoculated yourself by releasing transcript months ago or could have turned down the speaking engagements in the first place. Is this one of the reasons why you democrats plan to write in another name . If so, tell us why. Lets go to alexis in silver spring, maryland, another democrat. What do you plan to do . Caller im undecided. It is either joel stein or Bernie Sanders. I would like to hear if there is some big movement one way or the other it is either jill stein or Bernie Sanders. Host before you make a decision . Caller yes. I know Bernie Sanders is trying to swin ghis support towards her. I am disappointed with him. Hillary is not a progressive. I do not trust her. There is a lot of damaging things she has done in the past. I think basically when she gets in there, she is going to do whatever she wants and shes definitely a moderate. The fact that shes willing to work with republicans says something great about republicans. Doesnt Say Something great about her in terms of being a progressive. I dont like the things she said during the primary trying to associate bernie as not being an obama supporter and all his supporters being naive. I and idealistic. Im 53 years old. And he has really been the first candidate ever that naive. I really spoke in mainstream in terms that i agree with. Jill stein does as well. Unfortunately, neither one of them gets the coverage. I also feel like it was really rigged. The fact that he ran as a democrat gave him more coverage but they completely they did not give him the coverage and till they had to recognize that he had a force behind him. Host if two days before that tuesday november 8, Bernie Sanders comes out holds a rally for Hillary Clinton and says if you write in my name are vote for a third party candidate, you are putting donald trump in the white house. What youdo you do . Caller i despise donald trump but i do not like hillary either. At this point, i feel im so tired of being blackmailed and pushed into voting for a lesser of two evils. Im really upset with, you know, the Democratic Party for, you know manipulating and getting and democracy just happened between bernie and hillary. Im going to vote for what i believe in and whoever else gets in then that is how it is. They need to learn to let the democrats decide. Dont manipulate the system. Host Mineral Wells texas. Independent. Good morning to you. What will you do on the election day . Caller i am writing in jill stein. Guest im 36 years old and ive always watched elections in my family. My grandparents and i have never found anybody worth voting for. And jill stein is the only one that has came out and touched on every single subject i have every wanted in a president. Ever wanted in a president. I cant stand handing my children and my grandchildren over to hillary or donald, even if it means voting for her means trump getting in. Im out in trump land, now. Hes a giant mouthpiece. And hillary is on the brink of nuclear war. I cant hand that to my future. Host a caller in texas. Donald trump was on the campaign trail, in florida. Here is the headline from the Washington Post. Trump says the womens claims written about in the New York Times and People Magazine are part of global conspiracy. He says the clinton machine is at the center of this power structure. Compare that to the speech Michelle Obama gave. In a pair of speeches, the race is crystallized. Let me show you first donald trump yesterday talking about these allegations and then we will come back and show you Michelle Obamas speech. Mr. Trump how we address the slander and libel is that was just last night thrown it me by the clinton machine and the New York Times as part of a concerted, coordinated and vicious attack. Its not coincidence that these attacks come at the exact same moment and altogether at the same time as wikileaks releases documents exposing the Massive International corruption of the clinton machine including 2000 more emails just this morning. These vicious claims about me of Inappropriate Conduct with women are totally and absolutely false. And the clintons know it. They know it very well. These claims are all fabricated. Theyre pure fiction and they are outright lies. These events never, ever happened. And the people that said them fully understand. You take a look at these people. You study these people and you will understand, also. The claims are imposters ludicrous preposterouas and defy common sense and logic. Host that was donald trump in palm beach, florida, yesterday. Michelle obama was at a rallyl for Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire. Here is a little bit of her speech. Mrs. Obama too many are treating this as just another days headlines. As if our outrage is overblown or unwarranted. As i f this is normal. Just politics as usual. But New Hampshire lets be clear, this is not normal. This is not politics as usual. [cheers and applause] mrs. Obama this is disgraceful it is intolerable. And it does not matter what party you belong to. Democrat republican, independent, no woman deserves to be treated this way, not of us deserve this kind of abuse. None of us deserve this kind of abuse. I know its a campaign. But this isnt about politics. Its aboutut basic human decency. We simply cannot endure this or expose our chilled into this any longer, not for another minute and let alone for four years. Now is the time for all of us to stand up and say, enough is enough. This has got to stop right now. Host veteran Washington Post the take column this morning says this about those speeches. The president ial campaign has been building towards this day after day after day, the rhetoric has intensified. The charges and countercharges have escalated those speech is part of our road to the white house coverage. If you miss them, go to cspan. Org. President obama will be on the campaign trail in cleveland, ohio. 11 15 a. M. On cspan, cspan org and the radio app. We will be covering donald trump this evening as well as paul ryan
