Gary Johnson

What makes my insane clown posse think I give two shakes of a rat's ass what comes out of his mouth or the party platform?



What the fuck is it about the concept of a protest vote which so seems to elude you?

Polling ahead of Trump with young voters!

 

[patient1]

I didn't catch it. Did he rise up and deliver a rousing performance?

Anderson Cooper was stunned by his candor. The audience applauded him for it.
I think it was much better than the first Town Hall.

The response to it has been pretty favorable, although some people be they Libertarian purists or TheoCons, aren't satisfied with his stance that the Utah Compromisehttp://http://www.npr.org/2016/06/01/480247305/how-the-utah-compromise-could-serve-as-a-model-law-for-other-states
struck the right balance of anti-discrimination vs. "religious liberty".

If anyone would like to catch it-

Does he have a big Johnson? That should raise his poll numbers.

So you'd like to see Johnson rise. Noted.

Put a YUUUUUUUUGE asterisk by that statistic:

Trump is pulling a miniscule NINE percent of all voters under 30.

That's what happens when you tailor your message to the bitter clinger over-50 uneducated white trash crowd.

It's how he won over the south and got the nomination. Thank you evangelical states.

Johnson and Stein have no shot. Not even at getting into the presidential debates. The law suit they filed over that issue was recently dismissed by a federal judge. Big surprise.

Voters under 30 are notorious for not voting...



It was that old black magic that got them involved in the past and now the wicked witch of the rest has lost their interest by conspiring to "rig" (I hope Adre is paying attention after his little whine-fest in the other thread) the election so that their candidate would lose.

Saw a graphic like that. Had pictures of Clit'n and Der Trumph above one of this guy.

Words were 'Why choose the left nut or the right nut when you can choose the Johnson?' or something to that effect.

Yeah, I'm surprised they heard the case before the election. The judge seemed to think the debate was a private matter between two private clubs. That kinda- sorta makes sense, assuming they don't let non-members into the audience, don't allow reporters to communicate about it, and don't broadcast it to tens of millions of voters. Because if they do televise it, the candidates have no expectation of privacy, and if they did expect it to be private, would the candidates bother to do it?

Nice. The Chicago Tribune has called for Johnson to be included, and so has the L.A. Times.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Damn... a second poll in Georgia shows Gary Johnson with 9% of likely votes.

Since he's basically siphoning votes from Trump, the net effect is to flip Georgia from "Red" to "Blue" for this cycle.

This means every single state on the Eastern Seaboard (with the exception of Treason-central South Carolina) will be sending their Electoral College votes to Hillary.

Libertarians are idiots that should be mocked.

If they thought that he would take votes away from Hillary, then they would be siding with the debate commission...

I am sure that it's all about what they think the impact will be.

For example, Trump and his mouthpieces have mostly taken the ignore approach to Johnson, even though Gary has called him a pussy and a racist. Apparently they believe the polls ( about half ) that say 4/10 Johnson supporters come from Hillary, 3/10 are independent and 3/10 come from Trump.

Also, the NeoCon attacks against Johnson came at the beginning of the campaign kick-off, stirred again with the David French rumor, then they began to accept him as the only Constitution-respecting candidate when he was the only alternative to the authoritarian and the statist, and then they resumed ahead of the McMullen announcement.

The last tea-leaf reading from the debate commission ( these guys sound like the Federal Reserve used to ) went from "give an inch" to "margin of error".

Trump's been making noise about the debates, presumably a preface to negotiating something, but what?

Is he going to ask for the inclusion of both Johnson and Stein, knowing that they tighten the race in his favor, and figuring that excluding Stein will make Hillary look bad and anger the Left against her, and including Stein will hurt Hillary, too?

When the actual debate comes, will Trump's strategy be to get in Hillary's face and cause her to "short circuit" again?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Oh yeah, he's going to hit her right between the eyes with a two-by-four until she finally cracks and gives us a "At this point, what does it matter" moment.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

And the Left-tards scream, "A_J just called for violence against Hillary!"

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Thank Gawd my candidate can never be elected...



He believes man-made Glow Ball Warning is real and that we need a Carbon Tax, unless he is in a red state, at which point he wants to implement a fee on those who emit CO2.

The short answer to that is "Yes." A screeching, coughing, Hillary will make for good optics.

As far as his 'negotiations' go one of his beefs is the scheduling. A beef I happen to agree with.

Violence against women seems to be something of a tradition in your tribe.

I'm convinced that American voters do not just expect to be lied to, they insist on it.

I noticed something about very sucessfull real estate seller's agents versus buyer's agents. People were more likely to give the listing to the smarmy, used-car, salesman type. I think they assume the crooked one will magically get them more money. Buyer's agents came across as genuine and sincere. Buyer's agents tend to starve.
