    So either the victims are fake, like the craigslist ad they were considering, or held there stories for political reasons. Not sure what's worse.

    They knew they had that video in May, that's almost certain.

    It could have but the Dems and Reps were scared how well he showed so they changed the debate inclusion rules.That paired with the effect of having a 2 term president wiped out the exposure.

    Voting for Geo Washington may show disdain for the current crop of candidates but if Johnson gets 15 million votes, paired with a very likely chance of a 1 term president, then it could still be fresh enough to the public for it to carry over to 2020.

    If there was actually a likelihood that Gary Johnson could obtain enough electoral votes to have some influence on who got elected in a run off situation then I think there is a good argument for voting for him. And in some states where the outcome is not at all in doubt I don't see any harm in voting third-party.

    Having said all that I can't tell you how many lefties I know who voted for Ralph Nader. Idiots.

    It's actually scary to see adults voting for 3rd party knowing it's a throw-away vote. But then again some people never grow up.

    I think in some states that Hillary is likely to win in a landslide like New York, California, Mass, Michigan etc. there's no harm in voting your conscience for a third-party candidate. If it's a close race that's different

    Good point. You have to wonder if Trump isn't throwing this election given he could use Wisconsin and it's Ryan's state

    I'd prefer a throwaway vote to a vote for mayhem and chaos (Trump)

    What's really scary is that much of the populace that is voting Dem or Rep is like a puppet on a string. Your party throws out the trigger words that make you react, guaranteeing a vote from you even if that candidate has done nothing deserving of your vote.

    Only 19% of people polled think that Clinton is trustworthy, the first words that come to mind when people think of her is liar and dishonest.
    If not growing up is voting for an ethical candidate who has good policies and is not controlled by Wall St. or donors to the candidates personal non profit, I'll take not growing up any day.

    It's actually scary to see adults buying into a rigged system knowing the results are going to be trash no matter what happens. Just as our long as our team wins, right?

    Just as long as my family can have access to healthcare? Some people just don't understand until they are in that position.

    this statement is sad. how can you not vote your conscience? your one voice is your vote and people don't vote their conscience?
