Not going to happen. He'll split the vote on the right. There's no way a constitution party candidate can win with a Republican and a Democrat running. He may even get more votes than McInis, but he can't catch the Dem.

Most likely. But if he does beat the republican candidate that goes a long ways towards ending the 2-party mentality. And if there was any type of political environment where such an upset could occur, it would be one as we are seeing right now, yes?

Sure, he might catch the Rep. candidate. But long term? No, it won't do anything. It's a one man third party, not a movement. George Wallace won entire states, but without HIM, his party died.

He was also a member of Ron Paul's Liberty Caucus. Last I checked, governors can't start international wars.

He's great on immigration. He's all about securing the borders and preserving the rule of law. Check your facts.

Oh I was referring to him in regards as a liberty candidate. As in more liberty for open borders and the free movement of people. So I don't need to check my facts they are spot on.
