    I remember him doing that but it was during the primaries so it maybe didn't get as much attention. I guess until Johnson/Weld hits 15% Trump may not worry about them.

    We'll see, as Anderson Cooper pointed out they didn't get much help in the polls from the last town hall. This time they seemed to take a few more shots at Clinton and Trump so it will be interesting to see if it registers anywhere.

    clock is ticking - they need a boost in the polls somehow.

    Being on trumps radar isn't a bad thing. I'm sure advisors for both Hilary and Trump are teliing them to ignore these 2 but if one of them bites and acknowledges the fact that they even exist it could be that bump they need to get on the stage. So knowing that, Trump is the obvious mark, lets hope he bites.

    These guys really need to be in the debates.

    I have no idea how to help influence the polls to reach the 15%, or how polling is even done to begin with.
    The whole system is rigged to prevent 3rd parties....as even if some polls are over 15%, the other parties can choose to ignore those polls in favor of those where they aren't at 15%.

    agree with you guys above.
    they need to start getting noticed quickly. unfortunately, making controversial comments seems to be the only way to do that lately.

    Well there is a lawsuit against the Commission on Presidential Debates charging them with antitrust violations to attempt to get the debates opened up.

    Unfortunately even though the Reps. and Dems. can't seem to agree on anything else, they have decided to work together to defeat this lawsuit.

    Romney, Obama join forces in lawsuit against debate commission

    The best way to do it is to encourage everyone you know to, in the event they get polled, name a third party candidate as the person they're most likely to vote for. Vote for Hillary or Trump if that's your thing, but tell the person calling you that you're going to vote for Johnson, or Jill Stein, or somebody else who is a 3rd party candidate. It's not like you're beholden to what you say, but it will sure help get more candidates in the debates, which is good for everybody. Well, everybody except for Democrats and Republicans.
