CNN to host town hall with Libertarian presidential ticket

This threshold is reached when a candidate has the “support of at least 15 percent of the national electorate as determined by five selected national public opinion polling organizations” -and third parties have been included in the national presidential debates only twice. If that occurred, that could have a major impact on the race.

Johnson is the Libertarian candidate for president this year, and he sat down with the Los Angeles Times to discuss this year’s election. Absolutely not! As none other than Gary Johnson himself said – paraphrased – a vote for Johnson (or any other third-party candidate) is not a wasted vote. That alone places him well above Trump and Clinton, who have lowered the bars of decency, honesty, and competency to a couple of miles below sea-level.

Maine-(4 electoral votes)-Maine is a very independent oriented state, which has elected independents as Governor and Senator, so could be fertile ground for Johnson. So he supports laws that force contrary views on social conservatives. “Give us one term, America, and if after four years you decide you don’t like peace, prosperity and freedom, you can always vote a Trump or a Hillary back into office again”, Johnson mugs in a campaign video.

Armstrong, who is not directly affiliated with the Johnson campaign, openly admitted he had been “brainwashed” into believing in a two-party system.

Of course, for many Republicans, the very idea of voting for Clinton is what’s driving them to support Trump, who, by nearly all accounts, is far from conservative.

Note that the above listing adds up to 8 potential states that could support Johnson by plurality, with six being Mountain West states (including Alaska) and two being New England states. They are all small populated rural states, but they could be the balancing act, and decide who will be President.

If you must vote out of conscience for a third party candidate, do so, but don’t delude yourself into thinking you’re not throwing you vote away.

Jill Stein and Gary Johnson.

What we need are more choices. Have there ever been two less liked candidates? Lopez, the former national vice chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus, argued that the “combined gubernatorial experience of the Johnson-Weld ticket as well as their fiscally conservative records and inclusive governing styles are most reflective of what the majority of Americans are desperately looking for in their leaders”.
