I'll take "losers" over either of the other two manical, psychopathic, self interested, compulsive liars any day. If Clinton and Trump could reverse course on those deal breakers maybe we wouldn't be the laughing stock of the world for debating how on earth one of those two clowns should have the privilege of leading our country.

Johnson/Weld are the opposite of those other two extreme, self interested terrible options.

If you believe it to be great to turn the state blue you were never going to vote for the GOP candidate no matter who it was.

Not true, Trump is just that bad. I have voted for a Republican in every presidential election since 2000. I can't stand Hillary Clinton, but I'll take a rational criminal over an irrational madman.

I would love to see Georgia turn blue in this election just for the amount of embarrassment it would cause Donald J. Trump.

Johnson/Weld will probably take New Mexico. Possibilities at 50% Utah and Alaska they could win. 25% Colorado. 5% New Hampshire and Maine.

Because the Libertarians have the definitive, detailed answer to solving the Middle East problem and defeating ISIS? Link, please?

Like I said, it would help if you understood the process.
Weld would not. If Johnson were elected by the House, the VP would be either Pence or Kaine. So it would be Johnson/Pence

They need to get to the debates, and go from there.

I haven't been a big Libertarian fan, but I was very impressed with Johnson and Weld
last night on CNN's townhall.
I agreed with most of their policies, and they were very knowledgable and competent.
Both were highly successful republican governors.

I won't vote for either Trump or Hillary --- Johnson and Weld are worth taking a deeper look at. Even if they can't win, it sends a message to the other two parties.

I really hope they make it to the debates, so more voters can get a chance to hear them.

Somebody needs to vote for Johnson/Weld.

Might as well be you.
