At least one Trump hating Republican on here had high hopes that Gary would be an anti-Trump torpedo dream come true. Gary supports Blacklivesmatter and no doubt loves when his beloved group KILLS COPS.

Johnson's cowardice aside, the 'concentration of the power of the government' is an unusual position for a libertarian.

Johnson has not said anything that can be inferred as supporting homicide, at least not in your link.

Quite unusual.

Where do I start.

Johnson didn't endorse BLM.

BLM is not murdering cops.

Trump is likely going to lose regardless of Johnson.

When conservatives decide they want to stop spitting on libertarians and moderates, and stop trying to purify the GOP, let me know. Until then you guys can keep your lunacy social issues and your nut job candidate.

Johnson believes anti discrimation laws are necessary and this CD forum shows exactly why anti discrimation laws are still necessary.

Silly, Johnson NEVER endorsed the BLM movement, he simply said their existence opened his eyes to how bad race relations were in this country, which is more of an indictment for our current POTUS than it is an endorsement of that radical group.

Yes, as far as I am aware that was the only time he said anything about the BLM

I've said all along that ticket is nothing more than a couple of liberals running on a third party. They are no different than Hillary when it comes to such issues as BLM and illegal aliens and open borders.
If someone needs an alternative to Hillary and won't vote for Trump, they are your answer.

Again, he doesn't "support" and has never endorsed BLM. They have been very open about the fact that they are socially liberal, but fiscally conservative, like the majority of Americans, they aren't for your typical single issue or strict party over anything voter. Just because you have been "saying something all along" doesn't make you right.

.....And in a related item, it is clear that Johnson takes votes from both Trump and Clinton, and that he is gaining votes.
The latest NBC News poll (8/8 to 8/14):

Clinton/Trump..... 50/41
Clinton/Trump/Johnson.....43/37/11

NBC is one of the polls that count. If Johnson gets to 15% then he will appear at the debate.
IMO, if Hillary and Don act like Hillary and Don, then Johnson will do very well.

Both the GOP and the Dems bleed votes when Johnson is on the ballot.
Can't win? He doesn't need to win in November; he needs to prevent a Hillary win so that the new House can select him.

If Trump wins, it probably won't be with a majority; but a win is a win.
