He should challenge Drumpf to a debate. He actually won a party nomination. They could raise funds for the GOP memorial service.

Third-party polling inevitably drops the closer election day gets. They’ll be doing well, very well, to net half of that.

Okay, what happened to the thread about Sanders and why all the flags?

No obvious trolls. I suspect that some folks got pissy and triggered the auto nuclear detonation option.

Precisely. So, not sure where the fire was exactly.

And how many votes has he received in the primaries?

I heard Johnson on the radio today and he is claiming he can win in November. I think Devine and Weaver are moonlighting.

…and they pick Gary Johnson? Uh, yup.

(also to @bkmn: ) I just hope Bernie makes clear that the Libertarian ticket does not share his values. Johnson and Weld are refreshingly sane on dope and the “social” issues; but anyone who supports Sanders for his message of economic inequality and the need for aggressive government action to remedy it, which was supposedly the whole purpose of his campaign, has to know that a vote for them is a vote for the opposite of what he, and presumably his voters, stand for.

Weld was picked as the Libertarian VP candidate on the 2nd ballot. Hooray for siphoning off of Trump…hopefully.
Thanks; I just awoke to that news. He very barely made it, with only 50.6% of the vote on that second ballot, but Johnson / Weld it now is. Both were popular two-term Republican governors, with more executive experience than either mainstream candidate. It is entirely likely that they will receive significant funding from the Koch brothers, and show up in the media a lot more than Libertarian candidates ever do. Trump has already begun his attack, in his inimitable style, saying “I don’t talk about his alcoholism” (addressing Weld). A far greater percentage of Libertarian inclined voters identify with the GOP over the democrats, and both Johnson and Weld have been much more critical of Trump than Clinton. They won’t win any electoral college votes, but they could easily do to Trump in swing states what Nader did to Gore. I’m thrilled.
Why is it that people who shouldn’t take off their clothes are the first to do so?

Are you kidding? That guy just blew Johnson’s nascent campaign right out of the water!
From now on, when he meets someone and is like “Hi I’m Gary Johnson, Libertarian candidate for president…”, the first thing people are going to say “Isn’t that the fat nude guy party?”.
It’s perfect! That political martyr has crippled the Libertarians for at least a couple more election cycles!
