I watched the walking dead on netflix. I saw maybe 5 minutes of the end of this "debate".

I voted for Rand in the GOP primary and now will be voting for Johnson in the general. I think both would be just fine as potus and both are good people. What wing does that put me in?

This is a fucking disgrace. I can not believe one of these things will be the next leader of the free world. I don't think I have ever hated both candidates this much in my lifetime.

You would think any rational person watching this would conclude neither are fit to be potus and look to a third party. But boobus isn't rational.

Based on the participants, I'm positive you didn't.

This kid is going to get himself killed. The Clintons kill anyone who gets in the way of their political ambitions.

Maybe we will get lucky and they will kill each other on live TV.

You don't know that. There is no way of knowing that. Trump has flipped on all sorts of major issues. No reason to believe he wouldn't flip on this one too. So that just leaves a rude idiot.

This election has become reality TV. What a shitshow. Not that I am totally opposed to it. Clinton should bring one of Trump's ex wives. What is Marla Maples up to lately? Maybe they could get Jerry Springer to moderate?

LP gets ballot access and matching funds. 2 party system is closer to ending. Horrible is your word. I think they are decent people.

Yes it is crap. Effective means you actually make a change in the world, not have a circle jerk on an internet forum. When you reject mostly good candidates over your pet issues, you are never going to accomplish anything. We all know Johnson isn't going to be potus so a few odd issues really doesn't matter.

That's crap. The world isn't black and white. People like you who think it is will never be effective.

You think Johnson is authoritarian? Really? What are the other two then? Dictators? Overlords?

Oh give it a rest. Johnson and Weld aren't that bad. Considering their opponents, they are great. Nobody taking the positions they have has ever done this well.

The LP is polling the highest it ever has and getting the most media coverage it ever has. The LP will surely be getting it's highest vote totals ever in the upcoming election. I don't think they need to reform a thing.

Who cares what you label him. He's not a crook and he is doing great things toward a viable third party. If that isn't good enough, I don't know what is.

Of course I am. He's not a known criminal like the major party candidates. Yes, I know he doesn't agree with every single pet issue you have. Most of the trolls saying Johnson is not libertarian enough for them are for Trump of all things.

Reporters should stick to reporting the news, not inventing it. Weld has refuted this story. http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/18/media/gary-johnson-debates/index.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_allpolitics+%28RSS%3A+CNN+-+Politics%29

Where is the option for "oh fuck no"?

I want Trump and Clinton both to lose. I know it won't happen of course.

Trump isn't "the guy", he's a dickhead.

The old people are the most likely voters. If he could pick up just say 10% of them, he's in the debates.

You joined RPF in 2016 and have made posts bashing Johnson and promoting Trump. Yeah that's real credible.

Um no. He does so well because he has centric cross over appeal. If he was a LP purist he would get the usual 1%. The polls are usually right. I think we will get the predicted 5-10% This article is wrong by the way. Johnson won't be in this debate. He is not excluded from all the debates. If his numbers rise, he could get it. Granted it's a catch 22 and his exclusion probably precludes any rise in polling.

What's interesting is that quinnipac has Johnson at 29% in 18-34 and 19% in 35-49. That's got to give you some hope. Yeah Clinton is going to win and all, and kids don't vote. But when all the boomers die off and the millennials start voting, maybe the country isn't screwed?

They aren't that bad really. This is where you respond with how they don't support your pet issue.

I can't imagine his life expectancy is very good right now.

I think if he was to get into the debates, it could become a 3 way race. In the internet age things happen very quickly. Appearing on a national stage with Trump and Clinton, Johnson would seem reasonable in comparison. But they probably will never let Johnson in.
