When they start doing that, you know you've got their attention.
I mean, do we see ANY threads attacking Jill Stein!?
Darrell Castle?!
Allyson Kennedy?!

NO! Johnson got their attention, there is a small chance he may appear on "their" stage and they are scared witless!

BRANG IT ON, DIMWITS!! YOUR VOTE WAS NEVER AVAILABLE TO GARY JOHNSON, ANYWAY!!
here's hoping Payaso Don gives Gov. Johnson some twitter attacks- that'll sway a lot of votes Gov Johnson's way, imo....

Exactly what this nation needs right now....

I actually like the Johnson/Weld ticket.

Now only if they had more than a 0% chance of winning . . . . Shame.

Infinitesimally small is not the same as zero.

But maybe they will drive the dialogue on some of the issues. I know they have certainly opened up my eyes and I find myself with views I never had before.

Getting on that stage and saying things like, "Mrs Clinton, do you think anyone believes that anymore?" or "The Wall is the dumbest idea I have ever heard!" would be priceless.
I'd say up late to watch it.

Ever wonder WHY they managed to get elected? Because they were RINO'S. Weld is an anti 2nd amendment scumbag and Johnson is a pot smoking moron.

Johnson won the gubernatorial election by defeating the incumbent Democratic Governor Bruce King by 50% to 40%. Party registration in the state of New Mexico at the time was 2-to-1 Democratic.

RINO? I dunno. There may be some truth to what you say. But even more true is that Johnson became governor because he is not a Democrat.

No one cares about the RINO tag anymore.
Republicans just ain't that popular.
Neither are Democrats.

I for one am not afraid of Johnson at all. He had my vote last time but has done such a 180 on policies to appease and appeal to Bernie voters that he has shown himself to be just like the career establishment politicians I voted against by giving him my vote last time.

He'll pull in the Trump and Hillary haters but won't get the Bernie supporters and unfortunately has lost many of the libertarians because of flip flopping on his original platform.
