He's by far and away the most credible candidate

Third party has never had an opportunity like this. I wish there was a better rep than Gary. But oh well.

Looking at the two parties, there will probably be a good oppy next go round too.

Interesting. My 2 line in the sand issues are abortion and naming of Supreme Court Justice. I just read that Johnson would name originalist judges to the Supreme Court. He also favors keeping the Hydef Amendment and keeping restrictions on latter stages of abortion. He is a fiscal conservative. Doesn't know squat about foreign policy which is a good thing. I might vote doper.

Did you guys see the Last Week Tonight about 3rd party candidates? I learned that it's not just the 2 major party candidates who are unelectable garbage but the 3rd party candidates are as well! Does anyone know of any good 4th party candidates?

John Oliver didn't even mention him so I guess there was nothing bad to say.

There is no reason for Oliver to mention him because he is not a threat to draw away any of Hillary's voters. A bunch of Bernie folks were moving to Johnson/Stein. I doubt they'd go to McMullin.

DQ12 · « **Reply #239 on:** October 18, 2016, 01:10:03 PM »

people voting for Johnson/stein don't actually expect either to become the next president i don't think.

I think McMullin has more of a chance than him.

Yeah, those are protest votes. The candidates themselves don't matter. People just choose the party ideology that best fits them and vote as a way to avoid having to pull the lever for Hillary Clinton.

The whole "protest vote" terminology is a huge pet peeve of mine. All votes are protest votes because no single vote actually matters in a presidential election. You could stay home and it would not make a bit of difference in the outcome. Acting like voting for a popular candidate has any more of an impact on the election is a joke. Why vote for anyone other than the candidate you most closely align with ideologically?

Oh, so you think Joe Exotic is pulling votes away from Hillary? Interesting, if true.

If you actually believed this then you wouldn't just lump in all third party votes as protest votes. If someone was truly just protesting Trump/Hillary they would either not vote for president or they would write in a fictional candidate.
