Apparently the FBI is interviewing Hillary Clinton at this very moment.
Johnson is not going to win anything, all he is going to do is siphon votes from both candidates. Question is, who will he siphon more votes from.
If she lawyers up, it’s on like Donkey Kong.
I highly doubt she is facing the stiff interrogation of the FBI without at least two or three lawyers. We should be so proud one of our candidates for President one is under an intense FBI investigation and the other one is Donald Trump.
Looking at some of Johnsons positions I think he might draw about equally from both. But there is a crazy green party candidate by the name of Jill Stein who will pull votes directly from Hillary. She is wackier than Elizabeth Warren and might get as many as 1 million votes. In a close election it could cost Hillary…if Hillary is still the candidate that is.
I know but people posting here like to claim their dislike of Trump is based on his stances or that he’s never achieved anything in his life
Also speaking of debt a record was broken recently
3rd Parties.
Seems like Green might pull Dem votes and Libertarian might siphon Rep votes - just my speculation.
The real issue I see with 3rd parties is that they have not traditionally had a strong national grass roots. Instead of building some credibility with voters by getting into state or national office so the quadrennial voters can have some idea what they represent, they trot out a candidate for president and act like they are offering a choice for democracy.
Bottom line - no dues paid = don’t bother asking to be elected to run the free world.

Finally, I would like to add that all of your professional athletes, actors and actresses and pretty much all celebrities can kiss the steroids and drugs goodbye. Your country is built on cocaine, heroin, crack, marijuana (which is a Spanish word, by the way) and steroids that have come to America through Mexico. [/quote]

What a goof–Ha ha priceless…
The reality is his country is built on cocaine, heroin, crack, marijuana, being bff’s with el chapo and all.
It would be an interesting experiment, if you removed all the illegals and see how the market handles that. Since those jobs are undesirable, wages would have to go up to invite legal workers, or maybe robots made to do those jobs. Fewer poor people means less welfare payments and government programs, less crowded schools, roads, emergency rooms, and jails. Less spending on low-income people. More money circulating through our local economies and not sent somewhere else.
Fuck it I’m down, let’s try it.

True, and the suckers who use in the US are making them billions.
Since when has a large number of welfare recipients ever helped the economy? Also, about 1/3rd of all illegals are imprisoned I believe.
Think about how much low skilled illiterate illegal immigrants and refugees dumb down the school system and hurt the education of gifted children. Quick question: who is our future dependent upon? The gifted children or the ones who go on to work the jobs natives have no interest in doing themselves?
I think you mean 1/3 of the incarcerated are illegal
What you describe is the problem when immigration is not controlled. Rather than have the uneducated step up their game, we have dumbed ourselves down, so they won’t feel inferior. Our society doesn’t move forward that way.
Our future looks bleak the way things are going, because the more we implement Socialistic ideas, the more it becomes a race to the bottom.

Regarding 3rd partys and independents.
I think the term independents is a bad descriptive term, since it lumps alot of different voters together. Independents consists of really 3 groups, those to the right of the GOP (the far right), those inbetween the GOP and the Dems (centrists) and those to the left of the Dems (the far left). The idea that either The Libertarian party or The Green party is going to win the independent vote is therefor absurd.
The idea of a third party emerging and giving the two established partys a run for their money is really far fetched given the reason above and given your electoral system. If you had a more proportional system, then you probably would a more diversified set of political partys, but thats not the case right now. I think the only chance the third partys today have, is to replace one of the currents partys. Like how the Republican party replaced the Whig party after the latter imploded, or how the British Labour party replaced The Liberal party as the default leftwing party in Britain.
I know this is rather obvious, but it irks me how independents are thrown around as a term that describes one set of likeminded people, when the only thing all those folks have in common is that they dont like the the two dominant partys.
Yes, and if I remember some here have had such a debate
I understand that FBI Director Comey will be making a statement and talking to the press at 11:00AM. This should be interesting.
