Oh man, GJ in the debates will be a riot.

 

He was squirming when my editor interviewed him. I'd love to see how he reacts on the national stage.

I have a buddy that has been pumping Johnson and the Libertarian party for months. He was pretty excited for a chance to break through with two unlikeable candidates running. After the Town Hall with Johnson on CNN, he is now voting for Trump. He must be really awful at public speaking, which makes me wonder how he became the nominee? My friend is still a Libertarian, but couldn't vote for Johnson after that I guess.

I mean, he sounds great for five minutes, then you hear his policies and want to laugh in his face.

 

I was in the room next to the studio and had to repeatedly stifle laughter.

He does seem pretty awkward during interviews.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 03:36 PM)
What were you laughing at specifically?

 

His general unease. He was being interviewed by a social media news company on a FB livestream and looked unsettled. Imagining that in a debate is hysterical.

 

Now, he's a realest so I'll give him that. But saying guns work in Israel means they'd work here is laughable. That removing all taxes is a good idea because a can of pop will be $.73 and not $1.

 

It was just so rough to watch.

If the Libertarian Party could turn their libertarian-ness down from like an 8 to a 4, they'd actually be relevant.

 

Their top-level message sounds really appealing and then once you dig into the party platform, you find all sorts of garbage.

 

That being said, they have a decent chance of getting my protest vote again (bleh). If my state looks like Trump has a shot to win, I'll have to vote Hillary.

Same for the Green Party.

 

The thing is they need to tone it back a bit, then boom, relevant.

The libertarian party platform is completely bonkers. It actually manages to make trumps platform look sane and reasonable.

i would think if anything he will pull from the Trump support more than the Clinton support.

Trump polls better in 4 way polls than h2h vs Hillary.

4 way polls involving who?

Normally I would agree. In this case I believe there is a sizable "anyone but these two" contingent that is attracted to any halfway viable candidate that we don't know as much about as these two.

I agree. I just think it will pull more from trump.

What about the lp platform and ideology is winning your vote

Stein, the Green party candidate is the 4th.

I agree but more along the lines of 55-45 not 90-10 or something really lopsided.

However, Jill Stein could very well be 90-10, so the 4 way race delivers us President Trump.
