Stein is a crazy person, a conspiracy theorist. She's a lost cause and won't end up breaking 1% as usual. Listen to her for ten minutes. She's a lunatic.

Johnson and Weld are serious, smart, civil people. I disagree with most of their plans but support some of them. I would completely trust them with the nuclear codes. They could get 9 or 10% of voters who would otherwise go for Trump and who won't vote for Hillary.

I seriously doubt the small faction of holdout busters would go libertarian but even if they do it pales in comparison with disaffected republican white men, who love that privatization line of bull.

That's millions of people. It virtually guarantees Hillary a win if they can break into 7-10% territory. We ought to support Johnson being in debates and on polling choices and treat him with respect.

Hell if Johnson gets a tailwind we could win friggin Utah. Most places the diehard busters would go for Johnson (because of legal weed primarily) are states HRC wins anyway.
