The convention where everyone was allowed their say? Where no one walked out? Where no one protested by placing tape over their mouths or had their signs taken from them?
The Donald is concerned that the debate will devolve into a Johnson-measuring contest. In light of his hand size, we must assume that The Donald will come in last in that contest, losing even to Hillary.
sorry, I lived in NM when he was governor, he is a little strange but no way is he an idiot. He was a good and popular governor. Just because he is a Libertarian doesn't make him an idiot. I think there are many of us who lean Libertarian, we just choose to register R or D. BTW; no I do not agree with all his views or values, but I certainly would prefer him to Hillary or Jill
It's good to hear that he was a good governor. I agree I would prefer him over Hillary or Jill. I'm torn with this whole election this time around.
The only thing that I am struggling with is that he wants to cut military. I want to know where he is wanting to cut and how. Don't get me wrong, I do know there is crazy stupid spending. If I found that out and I was ok with it...he would get my vote. He seems to be the person between Hillary and Trump.

I'll relay this story again. I saw him at the WV (L) Convention. He was asked about his statements concerning smoking pot. The gist of the question went......"You have admitted to smoking pot. I don't know when this was but since you have admitted to breaking laws how can I trust you to uphold other laws".
He said something along the lines of "well, that would be about two weeks ago............"
Very few would be that honest.
haha! Sounds like they asked they responded. However it is legal in a few states.
Why are we even talking about these third party candidates. They should of run on the DNC Ticket when they had the chance.
A little too late and even if they put on the ballet it would not go far.
Because for the first time in modern US history, both major party candidates have well over 50% unfavorables among voters. There are millions of people looking for another choice.
Just like the establishment Trump rails against he joins them by wanting to shut out Johnson from the debates. Not for one minute have I ever thought that Trump was anti establishment. Look at his pick for VP Pence since when did he become anti establishment? We heard Trump in the debates brag of how many politicians he has giving money too, yep he has played the game right along with them. And now wants to shut out Johnson/Weld, how much proof do his supporters need that Trump is taking them for a ride?
And so were the protestors at the DNC - the thing they weren't allowed to do was nominate their candidate, since he had lost the primary. But some of his supporters remained unaware of that fact and showed up at the convention thinking that he could actually receive the nomination and were having a tough time adjusting to the reality that it was in fact decided by the voters before they got there. But the vast majority of them have now accepted that fact and moved on, and as urged by Bernie, are rallying around the Democratic nominee.
While I support Johnson, the Libertarian Party obviously has some issues to work out. Lol
But they have come a long ways since their inception. I do think they will become more and more influential.
