If he adores Muslims, why does he want to be ban burkas?
Dress codes are not exactly libertarian, so where are the real libertarians?

The big spoil was Perot over Bush
BULL SHIT!

The big spoil for bush was not Perot...The big spoil for bush was..." Voo Doo economics, a New world order, a thousand points of light, read my lips, no new taxes", ADA, Bush running as far and as fast away from Reagan as he could.

26-7=19. Anderson faded. So will Gary Johnson who,after he fades from his 10% will wind up right where I said, at about 1%.

Don’t forget that Ross Perot got millions of votes, enough to ensure a Bill Clinton victory against Dole.

Perot did not run a stale party and spent at least $12 million of his own funds on the 1992 race, and $34.8 million on advertising on major networks.

Libertarians have a poor reputation. Were they attached to either major party as wings that led members to obtain cabinet positions they would be more successful.

Exactly!

George H. W. Bush was an awful president who ran an awful re-election campaign in 1992.

George the First ran on the Reagan record in 1988 and probably threw the Reagan people and their policies under the bus once he was sworn in.

During the Libertarian debate, Gary Johnson said that "the free market" had destroyed the coal industry. The other people at the debate couldn't believe he said that, and I couldn't either.

I don't like this at all.

Fear not, BFAC.

Stop worrying, everybody. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is going to derail the Trump Train, unless it's Donald Trump himself.

Gary Johnson will take more votes from Hillary than from Trump, and a few well-written attack ads which expose Gary Johnson's ridiculous immigration views will totally marginalize him.

Trump wins in virtually all scenarios, barring something unforseen.

As many people as openly support Trump, there are many "closet" supporters who won't admit it, but when they get into that private voting both, are going to pull the lever for Donald Trump.

Landslide. Massive political and demographic realignment. Democrat party relegated to minority status for decades to come.

This is a "once in every century or two" event we're witnessing, folks.

Nobody is going to want to be left out.

Vote Trump!

Perot put Bill Clinton in the White House.

Perot tipped the scales in Clinton's favor in Montana, Nevada, Maine, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania (which was a contested Red/Blue state in those days) West Virginia, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana, Georgia, Colorado and New Mexico, and almost tipped South Dakota to Clinton as well.

Perot did not fade. Trump needs to get out in front of this, because a 10% draw down of Independents is exactly what she needs. The Clintons have played this card before, we need to take nothing for granted.

How about pro-abortion, pro queer “marriage” pot head. That sounds much better. Libertarians always take votes from their brother democrats, because that’s all they are.

You are completely mistaken. Perot tilted Western and Southern states to Clinton that never give their electoral votes to Democrats. http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/data.php?year=1992&datatype=national&def=1&f=0&off=0&elect=0

Click on the Southern and Western states where Clinton won on that map, and compare those results to typical numbers for Democrats in those states. Perot was the difference.

Ultimately it was Bush’s suckage that paved the way for Perot.

Trump just has to get some of the names out, that he’d appoint.. and if they are as good as the ones this week, that will shore up votes. Name names and appointments.

Completely wrong. Perot was a deficit hawk who ran on that single issue. Had nothing to do with Bush's suckage and everything to do with the fact that America felt both major party candidates were weak and we were in a "safe" period where national security oriented independents who usually go for Republicans felt they could safely throw away their votes.

Gary Johnson needs to be demolished. A good starting point is within the LP itself. His running mate is a far left big gubmint progtard with a terrible record on most of the the things L/libertarians care about, including the RKBA. He was actually booed at the LP convention.

“He loves immigration, illegal even. When asked about a border he did a tap dance.”

Then lets hope that means he’ll take votes from Hillary!

Besides, there really wasn’t any difference between Bush and Clinton anyway. They’ve been pals going way back.

Libertarians are for open borders. They want everyone to have the freedom to move in and out and back and forth anywhere they want to go with no government interference. It’s part of the group think you have to sign onto if you want to “rebel” against the two-party system.

“Johnson will fade, they always do, he’ll barely get 1% in November. Don’t worry.”

that’s what I think too.

I heard Gary “legalize the bud, man” Johnson interviewed on a radio show today.

He loves immigration, illegal even. When asked about a border he did a tap dance.

That’s all I need to know about that pothead.


Sounds more like someone Bernie supporters would like. He may hurt Hillary more than Trump.
