With Mrs. Clinton enduring one of the rockiest stretches of her second bid for the presidency, her campaign and affiliated Democratic groups are shifting their focus to those voters, many of them millennials, who recoil at Mr. Trump, her Republican opponent, but now favor the Libertarian nominee, Gary Johnson, or the Green Party candidate, Jill Stein.

While still optimistic that the race will turn decisively back in Mrs. Clinton’s favor after the debates, leading Democrats have been alarmed by the drift of young voters toward the third-party candidates.

The principal “super PAC” supporting Mrs. Clinton’s candidacy, Priorities USA Action, has concluded from its polling and other research that the reluctance to embrace the Democratic nominee among those who intensely dislike Mr. Trump is not going away and must be confronted.

“We’ll be launching a multimillion-dollar digital campaign that talks about what’s at stake and how a vote for a third-party candidate is a vote for Donald Trump, who is against everything these voters stand for,” said Justin Barasky, a strategist for Priorities USA.
...
Democrats say that if the race is close in its final stretch, some of the voters who do not want to see Mr. Trump elected may shift on their own accord to Mrs. Clinton to prevent a Trump presidency. But after spending much of the summer hammering Mr. Trump, through both ads and stump speeches, it appears Mrs. Clinton has convinced many voters that Mr. Trump is not qualified to be president but has failed to win them over to her own candidacy.
...
What is striking is that Mr. Johnson, despite being a former Republican governor who supports limited government, appears to take just as many votes from Mrs. Clinton as he does from Mr. Trump. When asked to choose between the two major party nominees, 23 percent of Mr. Johnson’s supporters said they would back Mrs. Clinton while 20 percent said they would favor Mr. Trump.

I'm starting to feel motivated to vote for Johnson. If anyone can convince me the Republican and/or Democrat party can. If the Democrats want to win that badly they can give us someone more respectable. How about Rand? Pull her out. Say she is too unfit to be President (sociopathy and health issues) and give us Rand. He will take away votes from Johnson and get the never Trump vote too. He will also play the game so everyone wins!

57-59% of people view Clinton as unfavorable. 60-63% view Trump as favorable. Yet there is over 99% probability one of them will win the voters’ approval as president. How dumb are Americans? We got caught in this two party trap and can’t seem to get out. Both parties provide a bad candidate and scare us about the calamity if the other guy gets elected. Out of fear, we elect bad politicians and perpetuate a two party system that hurts us.

One huge outcome of this stupidity is national debt currently at almost $20 trillion and consumes almost 1/3 of government budget. National debt has a trend of doubling every 8 years. With Trump/Clinton in office it should reach $30 trillion in another 4 years and consume over half of government spending to maintain. Should the (D) and (R) parties control the government after 2020, we should expect 65-80% of government spending used to service debt, if we have not already defaulted. We are realistically looking the end of Medicare and Social Security and 80% cuts in defense in the next 10 years.

I’ll vote for Johnson because he wants a 20% cut in government spending now and a balanced budget. Trump wants to borrow more now because of low interest rates and hinted at a US bankruptcy to dealing with the debt. Don’t forget building a wall and the military.

I understand if people here don’t like Johnson. Vote Castle or writing in Ron Paul. It is important because it will either 1) make the major parties change their platform to attract those votes in the future or 2) might get us politicians that do not run this country into the ground.

Voting Clinton or Trump is a waste vote. The give us the same outcome: bankruptcy.

That's why they are running McMullin in states where Johnson has been polling well. He's splitting some of those GOP voters who won't vote for Trump, and would otherwise vote LP. If Stein were polling 10%, the D's would run someone to split that vote, too.

She should be worried. The younger Bernie voters don't hold any allegiance to her corrupt party and many will vote for Jill Stein if they vote at all. Many of the older voters that are disgusted at her dishonesty and corruption are moving toward Gary Johnson. Hillary has a problem and unfortunately for her, it is her.
