Quick thought, the audience looks about 30 people, bet if CNN did a town hall for the Green Party it would be packed beyond capacity.

But, again, anything to thwart Trump, while Democrat constituents are corralled for Clinton.

of course!!!

And it’s VERY hard to come up with a comprensive plan to counter them except to bang out tweets to major networks and get them to spread.

The libertarians are open borders. They don’t get it. That is the #1 issue in this campaign. They will only attract the druggies and globalists demanding the cheap-labor express.

Liberalism is a poison that tastes like crap. It is easy to avoid.

Libertarianism is an equally potent poison which tastes great.

How are Johnson or Weld “libertarians”? Both are GOPe statists who’ve decided they can no longer function in the GOP.

Not going to work. Not even the Libertarians are really supportive of this ticket...speaking as a Card Carrying, dues-paying, party voting Libertarian who will be voting for somebody else this time.
